The connection will NOT be treated as down in the event of IP routing errors. https://www.peplink.com 85 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Health Check Method: PING ICMP ping packets will be issued to test the connectivity with a configurable target IP address or hostname. A WAN connection is considered as up if ping responses are received from either one or both of the ping hosts. PING Hosts This setting specifies IP addresses or hostnames with which connectivity is to be tested via ICMP ping. If Use first two DNS servers as Ping Hosts is checked, the target ping host will be the first DNS server for the corresponding WAN connection. Reliable ping hosts with a high uptime should be considered. By default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN connection are used as the ping hosts. Health Check Method: DNS Lookup DNS lookups will be issued to test connectivity with target DNS servers. The connection will be treated as up if DNS responses are received from one or both of the servers, regardless of whether the result was positive or negative. Health Check DNS Servers This field allows you to specify two DNS hosts IP addresses with which connectivity is to be tested via DNS lookup. If Use first two DNS servers as Health Check DNS Servers is checked, the first two DNS servers will be the DNS lookup targets for checking a connection's health. If the box is not checked, Host 1 must be filled, while a value for Host 2 is optional. If Include public DNS servers is selected and no response is received from all specified DNS servers, DNS lookups will also be issued to some public DNS servers. A WAN connection will be treated as down only if there is also no response received from the public DNS servers. Connections will be considered as up if DNS responses are received from any one of the health check DNS servers, regardless of a positive or negative result. By default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN connection are used as the health check DNS servers. Health Check Method: HTTP HTTP connections will be issued to test connectivity with configurable URLs and strings to match. https://www.peplink.com 86 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink URL1 WAN Settings>WAN Edit>Health Check Settings>URL1 The URL will be retrieved when performing an HTTP health check. When String to Match is left blank, a health check will pass if the HTTP return code is between 200 and 299 (Note: HTTP redirection codes 301 or 302 are treated as failures). When String to Match is filled, a health check will pass if the HTTP return code is between 200 and 299 and if the HTTP response content contains the string. URL 2 WAN Settings>WAN Edit>Health Check Settings>URL2 If URL2 is also provided, a health check will pass if either one of the tests passed. Other Health Check Settings Timeout This setting specifies the timeout in seconds for ping/DNS lookup requests. The default timeout is 5 seconds . Health Check Interval This setting specifies the time interval in seconds between ping or DNS lookup requests. The default health check interval is 5 seconds . Health Check Retries Recovery Retries This setting specifies the number of consecutive ping/DNS lookup timeouts after which the Pepwave router will treat the corresponding WAN connection as down. Default health retries is set to 3 . Using the default Health Retries setting of 3 , the corresponding WAN connection will be treated as down after three consecutive timeouts. This setting specifies the number of consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup responses that must be received before the Pepwave router treats a previously down WAN connection as up again. By default, Recover Retries is set to 3 . Using the default setting, a WAN connection that is treated as down will be considered as up again upon receiving three consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup responses. Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure When the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and health checks fail, the Pepwave router will automatically perform DNS lookups on public DNS servers. If the tests are successful, the WAN may not be down, but rather the target DNS server malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on the main page:

Enter the fixed Internet IP addresses and the corresponding subnet mask, and then click the Down Arrow button to populate IP address entries to the IP Address List . 9.8 Dynamic DNS Settings Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the default public Internet IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a host name. With dynamic DNS service enabled for a WAN connection, you can connect to your WAN's IP address from the external, even if its IP address is dynamic. You must register for an account from the listed dynamic DNS service providers before enabling this option. If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a NAT router), the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the DNS service provider. Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection, the Pepwave router will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within the providers records. The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of hostname(s) are configured via Network>WAN>Details>Dynamic DNS Service Provider/Dynamic DNS Settings . https://www.peplink.com 89 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Dynamic DNS Settings This setting specifies the dynamic DNS service provider to be used for the WAN based on supported dynamic DNS service providers:

Select Disabled to disable this feature. This setting specifies the registered user name for the dynamic DNS service. This setting specifies the password for the dynamic DNS service. This field allows you to specify a list of host names or domains to be associated with the public Internet IP address of the WAN connection. If you need to enter more than one host, use a carriage return to separate them. Dynamic DNS Account Name /
Email Address Password / TZO Key Hosts / Domain Important Note In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) and a valid account with a supported dynamic DNS service provider are required. A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever a WANs IP address changes (e.g., the IP is changed after a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.). Due to dynamic DNS service providers policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host record has not been updated for a long time. Therefore the Pepwave router performs an update every 23 days, even if a WANs IP address has not changed. https://www.peplink.com 90 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 10 Advanced Wi-Fi Settings Wi-Fi settings can be configured at Advanced>Wi-Fi Settings (or AP>Settings on some models).

PepVPN Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusion TM is our patented technology that enables our SD-WAN routers to bond multiple Internet connections to increase site-to-site bandwidth and reliability. SpeedFusion functionality securely connects your Pepwave router to another Pepwave or Peplink device (Peplink Balance 210/310/380/580/710/1350 only). Data, voice, or video communications between these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet. Bandwidth bonding SpeedFusion TM is specifically designed for multi-WAN environments. In case of failures and network congestion at one or more WANs, other WANs can be used to continue carrying the network traffic. Different models of our SD-WAN routers have different numbers of site-to-site connections allowed. End-users who need to have more site-to-site connections can purchase a SpeedFusion license to increase the number of site-to-site connections allowed. Pepwave routers can aggregate all WAN connections bandwidth for routing SpeedFusion TM traffic. Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down, Pepwave routers can keep the VPN up and running. VPN bandwidth bonding is supported in Firmware 5.1 or above. All available bandwidth will be utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load balanced at packet level across all links. VPN bandwidth bonding is enabled by default. https://www.peplink.com 107 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 15.1 PepVPN configure To Advanced>PepVPN .

Check this box to allow the local DHCP server to assign an IP address to the remote peer. When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be tagged with the assigned IP address using network address translation. If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peers WAN IP address or hostname(s) here. If the remote uses more than one address, enter only one of them here. Multiple hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space character or carriage return. Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted. This field is optional. With this field filled, the Pepwave MAX will initiate connection to each of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the field is empty, the Pepwave MAX will wait for connection from the remote peer. Therefore, at least one of the two VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise, VPN connections cannot be established. Remote ID/Remote Certificate Allow Shared Remote ID NAT Mode Remote IP Address / Host Names
(Optional) Cost Define path cost for this profile. OSPF will determine the best route through the network using the assigned cost. Default: 10 This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN data. If Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if the remote unit uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable. If Custom is selected, enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535.

This functionality requires the peer to use PepVPN version 4.0.0 or above. WAN Smoothing While using PepVPN, utilize multiple WAN links to reduce the impact of packet loss and get the lowest possible latency at the expense of extra bandwidth consumption. This is suitable for streaming applications where the average bitrate requirement is much lower than the WAN's available bandwidth. https://www.peplink.com 110 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Off - Disable WAN Smoothing. Normal - The total bandwidth consumption will be at most 2x of the original data traffic. Medium - The total bandwidth consumption will be at most 3x of the original data traffic. High - The total bandwidth consumption depends on the number of connected active tunnels. Forward Error Correction (FEC) can help to recover packet loss by using extra bandwidth to send redundant data packets. Higher FEC level will recover packets on a higher loss rate link. The expected overhead of Low is 13.3% and High is 26.7%. Require peer using PepVPN version 8.0.0 and above. Forward Error Correction Receive Buffer Receive Buffer can help to reduce out-of-order packets and jitter, but will introduce extra latency to the tunnel. Default is 0 ms, which disables the buffer, and maximum buffer size is 2000 ms. If the packet size is larger than the tunnel's MTU, it will be fragmented inside the tunnel in order to pass through. Packet Fragmentation Use IP ToS A Latency Difference Cutoff A Select Always to fragment any packets that are too large to send, or Use DF Flag to only fragment packets with Don't Fragment bit cleared. This can be useful if your application does Path MTU Discovery, usually sending large packets with DF bit set, if allowing them to go through by fragmentation, the MTU will not be detected correctly. Checking this button enables the use of IP ToS header field. Traffic will be stopped for links that exceed the specified millisecond value with respect to the lowest latency link. (e.g. Lowest latency is 100ms, a value of 500ms means links with latency 600ms or more will not be used) A - Advanced feature, please click the To enable Layer 2 Bridging between PepVPN profiles, navigate to Network>LAN>Basic Settings>*LAN Profile Name* and refer to instructions in section 9.1 button on the top right-hand corner to activate. https://www.peplink.com 111 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Traffic Distribution Policy Congestion Latency Level This option allows you to select the desired out-bound traffic distribution policy:
Bonding - Aggregate multiple WAN-to-WAN links into a single higher throughput tunnel. Dynamic Weighted Bonding - Aggregates WAN-to-WAN links with similar latencies. By default, Bonding is selected as a traffic distribution policy. For most WANs, especially on cellular networks, the latency will increase when the link becomes more congested. Setting the Congestion Latency Level to Low will treat the link as congested more aggressively. Setting it to High will allow the latency to increase more before treating it as congested. Ignore Packet Loss Event By default, when there is packet loss, it is considered as a congestion event. If this is not the case, select this option to ignore the packet loss event. Disable Bufferbloat Handling Bufferbloat is a phenomenon on the WAN side when it is congested. The latency can become very high due to buffering on the uplink. By default, the Dynamic Weighted Bonding policy will try its best to mitigate bufferbloat by reducing TCP throughput when the WAN is congested. However, as a side effect, the tunnel might not achieve maximum bandwidth. Selecting this option will disable the bufferbloat handling mentioned above. Disable TCP ACK Optimization By default, TCP ACK will be forwarded to remote peers as fast as possible. This will consume more bandwidth, but may help to improve TCP performance as well. Selecting this option will disable the TCP ACK optimization mentioned above. Packet Jitter Buffer The default jitter buffer is 150ms, and can be modified from 0ms to 500ms. The jitter buffer may increase the tunnel latency. If you want to keep the latency as low as possible, you can set it to 0ms to disable the buffer. Note : If the Receive Buffer is set, the Packet Jitter Buffer will be automatically disabled. https://www.peplink.com 112 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 8.41 WAN Connection Priority WAN Connection Priority If your device supports it, you can specify the priority of WAN connections to be used for making VPN connections. WAN connections set to OFF will never be used. Only available WAN connections with the highest priority will be used.

Backward Compatibility Determine the level of backward compatibility needed for PepVPN tunnels. The use of the Latest setting is recommended as it will improve the performance and resilience of SpeedFusion connections. Link Failure Detection Time The bonded VPN can detect routing failures on the path between two sites over each WAN connection. Failed WAN connections will not be used to route VPN traffic. Health check packets are sent to the remote unit to detect any failure. The more frequently checks are sent, the shorter the detection time, although more bandwidth will be consumed. When Recommended (default) is selected, a health check packet is sent every five seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds. When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent every three seconds, and the expected detection time is six seconds. When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent every second, and the expected detection time is two seconds. https://www.peplink.com 114 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink When Extreme is selected, a health check packet is sent every 0.1 second, and the expected detection time is less than one second.

Tip http://youtu.be/TLQgdpPSY88 https://www.peplink.com 115 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 15.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusion TM over WAN connections which are behind a NAT (network address translation) router. To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to the Pepwave router. If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by means of port forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the peer Unit B can do so, you should enter all of Unit As public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit Bs Remote IP Addresses /
Host Names field. Leave the field in Unit A blank. With this setting, a SpeedFusion TM connection can be set up and all WAN connections on both sides will be utilized. See the following diagram for an example of this setup in use:
One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NATd ( 212.1.1.1 ). The rest of the WANs connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NATd. In this case, the Peer IP Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of Router As hostnames or public IP addresses (i.e., 212.1.1.1 , 212.2.2.2 , and 212.3.3.3 ), and the field in Router A can be left blank. The two NAT routers on WAN1 and WAN3 connected to Router A should inbound port-forward TCP port 32015 to Router A so that all WANs will be utilized in establishing the VPN. https://www.peplink.com 116 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 15.3 SpeedFusion TM Status SpeedFusionTM status is shown in the Dashboard. The connection status of each connection profile is shown as below. After clicking the Status button at the top right corner of the SpeedFusion TM table, you will be forwarded to Status>SpeedFusion TM , where you can view subnet and WAN connection information for each VPN peer. Please refer to Section 22.6 for details. IP Subnets Must Be Unique Among VPN Peers The entire interconnected SpeedFusion TM network is a single non-NAT IP network. Avoid duplicating subnets in your sites to prevent connectivity problems when accessing those subnets. https://www.peplink.com 117 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 16 IPsec VPN IPsec VPN functionality securely connects one or more branch offices to your company's main headquarters or to other branches. Data, voice, and video communications between these locations are kept safe and confidential across the public Internet. IPsec VPN on Pepwave routers is specially designed for multi-WAN environments. For instance, if a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for a multi-WAN environment and WAN1 is connected and healthy, IPsec traffic will go through this link. However, should unforeseen problems (e.g., unplugged cables or ISP problems) cause WAN1 to go down, our IPsec implementation will make use of WAN2 and WAN3 for failover. 16.1 IPsec VPN Settings Many Pepwave products can make multiple IPsec VPN connections with Peplink, Pepwave, Cisco, and Juniper routers. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other. All data can be routed over the VPN with a selection of encryption standards, such as 3DES, AES-128, and AES-256. To configure IPsec VPN on Pepwave devices that support it, navigate to Advanced>IPsec VPN. A NAT-Traversal option and list of defined IPsec VPN profiles will be shown. NAT-Traversal should be enabled if your system is behind a NAT router. Click the New Profile button to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to remote Pepwave, Cisco, or Juniper routers via available WAN connections. To edit any of the profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost column. https://www.peplink.com 118 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink IPsec VPN Settings Name Active This field is for specifying a local name to represent this connection profile. When this box is checked, this IPsec VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise, it will be disabled. https://www.peplink.com 119 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink IKE Version Connect Upon Disconnection of Remote Gateway IP Address / Host Name IPsec Type Local Networks Two versions of the IKE standards are available:
IKEv1 IKEv2 Check this box and select a WAN to connect to this VPN automatically when the specified WAN is disconnected. Enter the remote peers public IP address. For Aggressive Mode , this is optional. Policy-based - (default) All the matched traffic as defined in Local Networks and Remote Networks will be routed to this IPsec connection, this cannot be overridden by other routing methods. Route-based - Outbound Policy rule is required to route traffic to this tunnel and comes with more flexibility to control how to route traffic compared to Policy-based. If you want to modify the traffic selector instead of using the default (0.0.0.0/0). Note : This option is available for certain following models only:
MAX: BR1 ENT, Transit, 700 HW3 or above, HD2 HW5 or above, HD4 Enter the local LAN subnets here. If you have defined static routes, they will be shown here. Using NAT, you can map a specific local network / IP address to another, and the packets received by remote gateway will appear to be coming from the mapped network / IP address. This allow you to establish IPsec connection to a remote site that has one or more subnets overlapped with local site. Two types of NAT policies can be defined:
One-to-One NAT policy: if the defined subnet in Local Network and NAT Network has the same size, for example, policy "192.168.50.0/24 > 172.16.1.0/24" will translate the local IP address 192.168.50.10 to 172.16.1.10 and 192.168.50.20 to 172.16.1.20. This is a bidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site can initiate connection to the local clients using the mapped address too. Many-to-One NAT policy: if the defined NAT Network on the right hand side is an IP address (or having a network prefix /32), for example, policy "192.168.1.0/24
> 172.168.50.1/32" will translate all clients in 192.168.1.0/24 network to 172.168.50.1. This is a unidirectional mapping which means clients in remote site will not be able to initiate connection to the local clients. Remote Enter the LAN and subnets that are located at the remote site here. https://www.peplink.com 120 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Networks Authentication To access your VPN, clients will need to authenticate by your choice of methods. Choose between the Preshared Key and X.509 Certificate methods of authentication. Mode Choose Main Mode if both IPsec peers use static IP addresses. Choose Aggressive Mode if one of the IPsec peers uses dynamic IP addresses. Force UDP Encapsulation Pre-shared Key Remote Certificate (pem encoded) For forced UDP encapsulation regardless of NAT-traversal, tick this checkbox. This defines the peer authentication pre-shared key used to authenticate this VPN connection. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared keys on each side match. Available only when X.509 Certificat e is chosen as the Authentication method, this field allows you to paste a valid X.509 certificate. Local ID Remote ID In Main Mode , this field can be left blank. In Aggressive Mode , if Remote Gateway IP Address is filled on this end and the peer end, this field can be left blank. Otherwise, this field is typically a U-FQDN. In Main Mode , this field can be left blank. In Aggressive Mode , if Remote Gateway IP Address is filled on this end and the peer end, this field can be left blank. Otherwise, this field is typically a U-FQDN. Phase 1 (IKE) Proposal In Main Mode , this allows setting up to six encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used in initial connection key negotiations. In Aggressive Mode , only one selection is permitted. Phase 1 DH Group Phase 1 SA Lifetime This is the Diffie-Hellman group used within IKE. This allows two parties to establish a shared secret over an insecure communications channel. The larger the group number, the higher the security. Group 2 : 1024-bit is the default value. Group 5 : 1536-bit is the alternative option. This setting specifies the lifetime limit of this Phase 1 Security Association. By default, it is set at 3600 seconds. Phase 2 (ESP) Proposal In Main Mode , this allows setting up to six encryption standards, in descending order of priority, to be used for the IP data that is being transferred. In Aggressive Mode , only one selection is permitted. Phase 2 PFS Group Perfect forward secrecy (PFS) ensures that if a key was compromised, the attacker will be able to access only the data protected by that key. None - Do not request for PFS when initiating connection. However, since there is no valid reason to refuse PFS, the system will allow the connection to use PFS if requested by the remote peer. This is the default value. https://www.peplink.com 121 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Group 2 : 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman group. The larger the group number, the higher the security. Group 5 : 1536-bit is the third option. Phase 2 SA Lifetime This setting specifies the lifetime limit of this Phase 2 Security Association. By default, it is set at 28800 seconds.

Outbound policy is applied only when more than one WAN connection is active . Important Note The settings for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Advanced>Outbound Policy or Advanced>PepVPN , depending on the model. https://www.peplink.com 124 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 17.1 Outbound Policy Outbound policies for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at Advanced>Outbound Policy> or Advanced>PepVPN>Outbound Policy . Click the button beside the Outbound Policy box:
There are three main selections for the outbound traffic policy:
High Application Compatibility Normal Application Compatibility Custom Note that some Pepwave routers provide only the Send All Traffic To setting here. See Section 12.1 for details . Outbound Policy Settings High Application Compatibility Outbound traffic from a source LAN device is routed through the same WAN connection regardless of the destination Internet IP address and protocol. This option provides the highest application compatibility. Normal Application Compatibility Outbound traffic from a source LAN device to the same destination Internet IP address will be routed through the same WAN connection persistently, regardless of protocol. This option provides high compatibility to most applications, and users still benefit from WAN link load balancing when multiple Internet servers are accessed. Custom Outbound traffic behavior can be managed by defining rules in a custom rule table. A default rule can be defined for connections that cannot be matched with any of the rules. The default policy is Normal Application Compatibility . Tip Want to know more about creating outbound rules? Visit our YouTube Channel for a video tutorial!
https://www.peplink.com 125 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink http://youtu.be/rKH4AS_bQnE 17.2 Adding Rules for Outbound Policy The menu underneath enables you to define Outbound policy rules:
The bottom-most rule is Default . Edit this rule to change the devices default manner of controlling outbound traffic for all connections that do not match any of the rules above it. Under the Service heading, click Default to change these settings. To rearrange the priority of outbound rules, drag and drop them into the desired sequence. https://www.peplink.com 126 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink By default, Auto is selected as the Default Rule . You can select Custom to change the algorithm to be used. Please refer to the upcoming sections for the details on the available algorithms. To create a custom rule, click Add Rule at the bottom of the table. https://www.peplink.com 127 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Service Name This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule. New Custom Rule Settings This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect. When Enable is checked, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When Enable is unchecked, the rule does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule. Click the drop-down menu next to the checkbox to apply a time schedule to this custom rule. This setting specifies the source IP Address, IP Network, MAC Address or Grouped Network for traffic that matches the rule. Enable Source Destination This setting specifies the destination IP address, IP network, Domain name, SpeedFusion Cloud, PepVPN Profile or Grouped network for traffic that matches the rule. https://www.peplink.com 128 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com , is entered, any outgoing accesses to foobar.com and *.foobar.com will match this criterion. You may enter a wildcard (.*) at the end of a domain name to match any host with a name having the domain name in the middle. If you enter foobar.*, for example, www.foobar.com , www.foobar.co.jp , or foobar.co.uk will also match. Placing wildcards in any other position is not supported. Note: if a server has one Internet IP address and multiple server names, and if one of the names is defined here, access to any one of the server names will also match this rule. This setting specifies the IP protocol and port of traffic that matches this rule. Via a drop-down menu, the following protocols can be specified:
Protocol and Port Any TCP UDP IP DSCP Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and port number of common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.) After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remains manually modifiable. This setting specifies the behavior of the Pepwave router for the custom rule. One of the following values can be selected (Note that some Pepwave routers provide only some of these options):
Algorithm Weighted Balance Persistence Enforced Priority Overflow Least Used Lowest Latency Fastest Response Time For a full explanation of each Algorithm, please see the following article:
https://forum.peplink.com/t/exactly-how-do-peplinks-load-balancing-algorithmns-work/8059 Load Distribution Weight This is to define the outbound traffic weight ratio for each WAN connection. https://www.peplink.com 129 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink When No connections are available This field allows you to configure the default action when all the selected Connections are not available. Drop the Traffic - Traffic will be discarded. Use Any Available Connections - Traffic will be routed to any available Connection, even it is not selected in the list. Fall-through to Next Rule - Traffic will continue to match the next Outbound Policy rule just like this rule is inactive. Terminate Sessions on Connection Recovery This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is applicable to the Priority algorithms. By default, this setting is disabled. In this case, existing IP sessions will not be terminated or affected when any other WAN connection is recovered. When this setting is enabled, existing IP sessions may be terminated when another WAN connection is recovered, such that only the preferred healthy WAN connection(s) is used at any point in time. 17.2.2 Algorithm: Weighted Balance This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance . The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WANs weight. For example, with the following weight settings:
Ethernet WAN1: 10 Ethernet WAN2: 10 Wi-Fi WAN: 10 Cellular 1: 10 Cellular 2: 10 https://www.peplink.com 130 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink USB:
10 Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10). Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%. 17.2.3 Algorithm: Persistence The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many e-banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computers Internet IP address changes mid-session. In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security concern is that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential intrusion, the session is terminated upon the detection of an IP address change. Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections. Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually takes place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate using multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router with three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three different IP addresses. With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to persistently utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites. As a result, a client computer will communicate using one IP address, eliminating the issues mentioned above. https://www.peplink.com 131 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination . By Source:
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option will provide the highest level of application compatibility. The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule, originating from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This option can better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a few client machines. The default mode is By Source . When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed
(persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load Distribution , the weights will be automatically adjusted according to each WANs Downstream Bandwidth which is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose Custom , you can customize the weight of each WAN manually by using the sliders. 17.2.4 Algorithm: Enforced This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced . Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusion TM connection. 17.2.5 Algorithm: Priority This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections used to route the specified network service. The highest priority WAN connection available will always be used for routing the specified type of traffic. A lower priority WAN connection will be used only when all higher priority connections have become unavailable. https://www.peplink.com 132 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be prioritized to go through SpeedFusion TM connection(s). By default, VPN connections are not included in the priority list. Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services. Tip 17.2.6 Algorithm: Overow The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that has the highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets saturated, new sessions will be routed to the next healthy WAN connection that is not in full load. Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic. Only the highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be used. https://www.peplink.com 133 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 17.2.7 Algorithm: Least Used The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected in Connection and has the most available download bandwidth. The available download bandwidth of a WAN connection is calculated from the total download bandwidth specified on the WAN settings page and the current download usage. The available bandwidth and WAN selection is determined every time an IP session is made. 17.2.8 Algorithm: Lowest Latency The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking packets are issued periodically to a nearby router of each WAN connection to determine its latency value. The latency of a WAN is the packet round trip time of the WAN connection. Additional network usage may be incurred as a result. Tip The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because the overall round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink speed. Therefore, this algorithm is good for two scenarios:
All WAN connections are symmetric; or A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of the WANs available bandwidth. https://www.peplink.com 134 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 17.2.9 Expert Mode Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for use by advanced users. To enable the feature, click on the help icon and click turn on Expert Mode . In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusion TM Routes , is displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule represents all SpeedFusion TM routes learned from remote VPN peers. By default, this bar is on the top of all custom rules. This position means that traffic for remote VPN subnets will be routed to the corresponding VPN peer. You can create custom Priority or Enforced rules and move them above the bar to override the SpeedFusion TM routes. Upon disabling Expert Mode, all rules above the bar will be removed. https://www.peplink.com 135 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 18 Port Forwarding Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced>Port Forwarding . To define a new service, click Add Service . Port Forwarding Settings Enable This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is disabled, the inbound service does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule. Service Name This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this setting consist of only alphanumeric and underscore _ characters. https://www.peplink.com 136 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink IP Protocol The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the service as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting. Please see below for details on the Port and Servers settings. Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number of common Internet services
(e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually modifiable. The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be configured to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port , Single Port , Port Range , Port Map , and Range Mapping Any Port : all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP , and Port set to Any Port , all TCP traffic is forwarded to the configured servers. Single Port : traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP , and Port set to Single Port and Service Port 80, TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 80. Port Port Range : traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP , and Port set to Port Range and Service Ports 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through 88 is forwarded to the configured servers via the respective ports. Port Mapping : traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP , and Port set to Port Mapping , Service Port 80, and Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to the configured servers via port 88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.) Range Mapping : traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the Servers setting. https://www.peplink.com 137 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Inbound IP Address(es) Server IP Address This setting specifies the WAN connections and Internet IP address(es) from which the service can be accessed. This setting specifies the LAN IP address of the server that handles the requests for the service. 18.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated. When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN connections' default IP address will be forwarded. Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these features only if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports. When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two protocols can be found at Status > UPnP / NAT-PMP . https://www.peplink.com 138 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 19 NAT Mappings NAT mappings allow IP address mapping of all inbound and outbound NATd traffic to and from an internal client IP address. Settings to configure NAT mappings are located at Advanced >

Inbound Mappings Outbound Mappings available when IP Network is selected. This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN host. This option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field. Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT mapping only. This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses (for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application compatibility). Note that if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you should still choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the Outbound Policy section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP forwarding mode are not shown here. Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.

This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by model). The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom. Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the button to remove the defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are All DHCP reservation clients and Everyone , and they cannot be removed. The All DHCP reservation client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings page. Everyone represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to change its group. Add / Edit User Group Subnet / IP Address From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet .

Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for details. https://www.peplink.com 141 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 20.2 Bandwidth Control This section is to define how much minimum bandwidth will be reserved to each user group when a WAN connection is in full load . When this feature is enabled, a slider with two indicators will be shown. You can move the indicators to adjust each group's weighting. The lower part of the table shows the corresponding reserved download and uploads bandwidth value of each connection. By default, 50% of bandwidth has been reserved for Manager, 30% for Staff, and 20% for Guest. You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member can consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Managers. By default, download and upload bandwidth limits are set to unlimited (set as 0) . 20.3 Application 20.3.2 Application Prioritization On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same prioritization settings to all user groups or customize the settings for each group. Three application priority levels can be set: High , Normal , and Low . Pepwave routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet content.

In an HA configuration, two Pepwave routers provide redundancy and failover in a master-slave arrangement. In the event that the master unit is down, the slave unit becomes active. High availability will be disabled automatically where there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN bypass port. In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router and to the modem. Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via a LAN port. An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each other using VRRP over the LAN. The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a frequency of one heartbeat signal per second. In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is received in 3 seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave Pepwave router becomes active. The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a previously https://www.peplink.com 163 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink configured LAN IP address. At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once again become active. You can configure high availability at Advanced>Misc. Settings>High Availability . Interface for Master Router Interface for Slave Router High Availability Enable Checking this box specifies that the Pepwave router is part of a high availability configuration. Group Number This number identifies a pair of Pepwave routers operating in a high availability configuration. The two Pepwave routers in the pair must have the same Group Number value. Preferred Role This setting specifies whether the Pepwave router operates in master or slave mode. Click the corresponding radio button to set the role of the unit. One of the units in the pair must be configured as the master, and the other unit must be configured as the slave. Resume Master Role Upon Recovery This option is displayed when Master mode is selected in Preferred Role . If this option is enabled, once the device has recovered from an outage, it will take over and resume its Master role from the slave unit. Configuration Sync. Master Serial Number Virtual IP This option is displayed when Slave mode is selected in Preferred Role . If this option is enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the actual master unit's, the master unit will automatically transfer the configuration to this unit. Please make sure the LAN IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields are set correctly in the LAN settings page. You can refer to the Event Log for the configuration synchronization status. If Configuration Sync. is checked, the serial number of the master unit is required here for the feature to work properly. The HA pair must share the same Virtual IP . The Virtual IP and the LAN https://www.peplink.com 164 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Administration LAN IP Administration IP must be under the same network. This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration functionality. This address should be unique within the LAN. Subnet Mask This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN. Important Note For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all hosts on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default gateway as the virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router. In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set. https://www.peplink.com 165 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Please note that the drop-in WAN cannot be configured as a LAN bypass port while it is configured for high availability. 24.2 Certicate Manager This section allows for certificates to be assigned to the local VPN, Web Admin SSL, Captive Portal SSL, OpenVPN CA, Wi-Fi WAN Client certificate and Wi-Fi WAN CA Certificate. https://www.peplink.com 166 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink The following knowledge base article describes how to create self-signed certificates and import it to a Peplink Product. https://forum.peplink.com/t/how-to-create-a-self-signed-certificate-and-import-it-to-a-peplink-pro duct/
24.3 Service Forwarding Service forwarding settings are located at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service Forwarding . SMTP Forwarding Web Proxy Forwarding DNS Forwarding Service Forwarding When this option is enabled, all outgoing SMTP connections destined for any host at TCP port 25 will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected to a specified SMTP server and port number. SMTP server settings for each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable . When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and port number. Web proxy interception settings and proxy server settings for each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable . When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted and redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using the DNS name servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this option to enhance the DNS availability without modifying the DNS server setting of the clients. The built-in DNS name server will distribute DNS lookups to corresponding DNS servers of all available WAN connections. In this case, DNS service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN connection is down. Custom Service Forwarding When custom service forwarding is enabled, outgoing traffic with the specified TCP port will be forwarded to a local or remote server by defining its IP address and port number. https://www.peplink.com 167 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 24.3.2 SMTP Forwarding Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISPs SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISPs. Pepwave routers support intercepting and redirecting all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection to the WANs corresponding SMTP server. To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup . Check Enable Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under SMTP Server , enter the ISPs e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP Port , enter the TCP port number for each WAN. The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP connections. Choose a WAN port according to the outbound policy, and then forward the connection to the SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP connections for the WAN will be simply be forwarded to the connections original destination. Note If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a custom rule in outbound policy (see Section 14.2 ). 24.3.3 Web Proxy Forwarding https://www.peplink.com 168 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink When this feature is enabled, the Pepwave router will intercept all outgoing connections destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings , choose a WAN connection with reference to the outbound policy, and then forward them to the specified web proxy server and port number.

Settings>Service Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice being behind a multi-WAN router. Settings for service passthrough support are available here. Service Passthrough Support Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave router can act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds connections for the same SIP session to the same WAN connection and translate IP address in the SIP packets correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is always enabled, and there are two modes for selection:
Standard Mode and Compatibility Mode . If your SIP servers signal port number is non-standard, you can check the box Define custom signal ports and input the port numbers to the text boxes. With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave router. FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In a multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection. Otherwise, problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave router monitors TCP control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds TCP connections of the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you have an FTP server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check Define custom control ports and enter the port numbers in the text boxes. The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any incoming TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to enable TFTP passthrough support. SIP H.323 FTP TFTP https://www.peplink.com 170 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink IPsec NAT-T This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T passthrough. UDP ports 500, 4500, and 10000 are monitored by default. You may add more custom data ports that your IPsec system uses by checking Define custom ports . If the VPN contains IPsec site-to-site VPN traffic, check Route IPsec Site-to-Site VPN and choose the WAN connection to route the traffic to. https://www.peplink.com 171 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 24.5 UART Selected Pepwave MAX routers feature a RS-232 serial interface on the built-in terminal block. The RS-232 serial interface can be used to connect to a serial device and make it accessible over an TCP/IP network. The serial interface can be enabled and parameters can be set on the web admin page under Advanced > UART . Make sure they match the serial device you are connecting to. https://www.peplink.com 172 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Pepwave MAX Terminal Block Rx (rated -+25V) Tx (rated -+12V) RTS CTS There are 4 pins i.e. TX, RX, RTS, CTS on the terminal block for serial connection and they correspond to the pins in a DB-9 connector as follows:
DB-9 Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 6 Pin 7 Pin 8 Pin 9 The RS232 serial interface is not an isolated RS232. External galvanic isolation may be added if required. Be sure to check whether your serial cable is a null modem cable, commonly known as crossover cable, or a straight through cable. If in doubt, swap Rx and Tx, and RTS and CTS, at the other end and give it another go. Once connected, your serial device should be accessible on your Pepwave MAX router LAN IP address at the specified TCP port. https://www.peplink.com 173 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 24.6 GPS Forwarding Using the GPS forwarding feature, some Pepwave routers can automatically send GPS reports to a specified server.

Hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds. Once the LED status light turns RED, the reset button can be released. SIM Injector will reboot and start with the factory default settings. The default WEB login settings:
User : admin Password : admin IP address: the device only has a DHCP client and no fallback IP address. Therefore, it is advised to check every time what IP address is assigned to the SIM Injector.
Notes:
The SIM Injector can be monitored via InControl 2. Configuration is not supported. https://www.peplink.com 246 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Scenario 1: SIM Injector in LAN of Cellular Router Setup topology This is the most basic scenario in which the SIM Injector is connected directly to the cellular routers LAN port via an ethernet cable. This allows for the cellular router to be positioned for the best possible signal. Meanwhile, the SIM cards can be conveniently located in other locations such as the office, passenger area, or the bridge of a ship. The SIM Injector allows for easily swapping SIM cards without needing to access a cellular router. IMPORTANT: Cellular WAN will not fallback to the local SIM if it is configured to use the SIM Injector. Configuring the SIM Injector 1. Connect the SIM Injector to the LAN port of the cellular router. 2. Insert SIM cards into the SIM Injector. The SIM cards will be automatically detected. IMPORTANT: SIM cards inserted into SIM Injector must not have a PIN code. Note 1: The SIM Injector gets its IP address via DHCP and doesn't have a static IP address. To find its address, please check the DHCP lease on the cellular router. https://www.peplink.com 247 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Configuring the Cellular Router Step 1.

A single SIM Injector is used to provide SIM cards for each HD Dome. The HD Dome can be replaced with any Peplink cellular router supporting RemoteSIM technology. This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps shown in Scenario 1 in addition to the configuration steps explained below. Additional configurations for Cellular Routers Step 1. Disable the DHCP server.
HD Dome 1 should act as a DHCP server. HD Dome 2 should be configured to have a static IP address with DHCP disabled. Both routers should be in the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.50.1 and 192.168.50.2). https://www.peplink.com 250 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then Network Settings (Left-side tab), and click on Untagged LAN . This will open up the LAN settings page. 2. Change the IP address to 192.168.50.2. 3. In the DHCP Server section, uncheck the checkbox to disable DHCP Server. 4. Click Save and Apply Changes . Step 2. Ethernet port configuration The Ethernet port must be set to ACCESS mode for each HD Dome. To do this, dummy VLANs need to be created first. 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then Network Settings (Left-side tab), and click on New LAN . This will open the settings page to create a dummy VLAN. 2. The image below shows the values that need to be changed to create a new VLAN:
Note : set different IP addresses for each HD dome (e.g. 192.168.10.1 and 192.168.10.2). 3. Click Save and Apply Changes . 4. Go to Network (Top tab), then Port Settings (Left-side tab). 5. Set the Port Type to Access and set VLAN to Untagged LAN (see picture below). https://www.peplink.com 251 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 6. Click Save and Apply Changes . Configuration requirements for the main Router Requirements for the main router are:
Configure WAN 1 as a DHCP client. WAN 1 will automatically get the Gateway IP address from HD Dome 1. Configure WAN 2 as a Static IP and set it to 192.168.50.12. Configure WAN 2 Gateway to 192.168.50.2. Same as the HD Dome 2s IP address. https://www.peplink.com 252 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Scenario 3: SIM Injector in LAN of main Router and multiple Cellular Routers Setup topology In this scenario, SIMs are provided to the HD Domes via the main router. In this example, the Remote SIM Proxy functionality needs to be enabled on the main router. Notes:
HD Dome can be replaced with any other cellular router that supports RemoteSIM. It is recommended to use Peplink Balance series or X series routers as the main router. https://www.peplink.com 253 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps for the cellular router and the SIM Injector as in Scenario 1. The configuration for the main router is explained below. Main Router configuration IMPORTANT: Main router LAN side and Cellular Routers must be configured using different subnets, e.g. 192.168. 50 .1/24 and 192.168. 100 .1/24. Note : please make sure the Peplink router is running Firmware 8.1.0 or above. 1. Open the main router WEB interface and change:
From <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/ index.cgi to <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/ support.cgi . This will open the support.cgi page. 2. Scroll down to find Remote SIM Proxy and click on [click to configure] that is located next to it. 3. Check the Enable checkbox. 4. Click on Save . 5. Go back to the index.cgi page and click on Apply Changes . https://www.peplink.com 254 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Scenario 4: SIM Injector in a remote location Setup topology Requirements for installing a SIM Injector in a remote location:
Cellular router communicates with the SIM Injector via UDP port 50000. Therefore this port must be reachable via public IP over the Internet. The one way latency between the cellular router and the SIM Injector should be up to 250 ms. A higher latency may lead to stability issues. The cellular router must have Internet connection to connect to the SIM Injector. It can be another Internet connection via Ethernet or Fiber if possible, or a secondary cellular interface with a local SIM (Ignite SIM). Due to its high latency, it is not recommended to use satellite WAN for connecting to a SIM Injector in remote locations. SIM Injector configuration is the same as in Scenario 1. Cellular Router configuration Step 1. Enable the SIM Injector communication protocol. 1a. For a Balance cellular router, go to the Network (Top tab). 1b. For a MAX cellular router, go to the Advanced (Top tab). https://www.peplink.com 255 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink 2. Under Misc. settings (Left-side tab), find Remote SIM Management . 3. In Remote SIM Management , click on the edit icon next to Remote SIM is Disabled. 4. Enter the public IP of the SIM Injector and click Save and Apply Changes . Notes:
Do NOT check Auto LAN Discovery. Do NOT add a SIM Injector serial number to the Remote SIM Host field. Step 2. RemoteSIM and custom SIM card settings configurations are the same as in Scenario 1. https://www.peplink.com 256 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink How to check if a Pepwave Cellular Router supports Remote SIM 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on any cellular WAN. This will open the WAN Connection Settings page. 2. Scroll down to Cellular settings . If you can see the Remote SIM Settings section, then the cellular router supports Remote SIMs. Monitor the status of the Remote SIM 1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on the cellular WAN which was configured to use RemoteSIM. 2. Check the WAN Connection Status section. Within the cell WAN details, there is a section for Remote SIM (SIM card IMSI, SIM Injector serial number and SIM slot). https://www.peplink.com 257 Copyright @ 2021 Peplink Appendix C: Overview of ports used by Peplink SD-WAN routers and other Peplink services Service InControl InControl Inbound/Outbound Outbound Outbound Default Port Number UDP 5246 TCP 443 TCP 5246 TCP 5246 TCP 4500 Usage Data flow HTTPS service Optional, used when TCP 443 is not responding Remote Web Admin VPN Data (TCP Mode) TCP 32015 VPN handshake UDP 4500 VPN Data UDP 32015 VPN Data (alternative) TCP/UDP VPN Sub-Tunnels Data 4500+N-1^
