In firmware Release 1.03 and 1.04, there are two changes in the settings of the IPSEC tunnel
settings:
1. IKE Keep Alive Address (Ping IP address). This an IP address of the remote site, it can be the
IP of the peer SMCBR14VPN or from a PC connected to it. Its function is to keep alive the tunnel
when no data is transferred and to check for tunnel integrity.
2. Remote and Local ID. The SMCBR14/18VPN will check for remote and local ID when the tunnel
is established. If the SMCBR14VPNs have a public address, this parameters can be left blank.
However, they are mandatory if the route is place behind a NAT firewall.

pop warning message (see below pics).
