    IPn4G (With exception of port 80, which is retained for remote configuration (configurable). Also, any traffic that is sent to the RJ45 port is sent directly out the WAN port and is not processed by the IPn4G. IP-Passthrough is ideal for applications where only a single device is connected to the IPn4G, and other features of the IPn4G are not required.

    Appendix C: Port Forwarding Example (Page 1 of 2) By completing the Quick Start process, a user should have been able to log in and set up the IPn4G to work with their cellular carrier. By completing this, the modem is ready to be used to access the internet and provide mobile connectivity.
  • Page 181 GUI for all the devices on the LAN is the same, this is fine because they are located on different IP addresses, and the different external ports mapped by the IPn4G (80, 8080, 8081, 8082), will send the data to the intended destination.

    Firewall > General. Also ensure that either WAN Request is set to Allow, which allows traffic to come in from the WAN, or that sufficient Rules or IP lists have been setup to allow specific traffic to pass through the IPn4G. Once that is complete, remember to “Apply”...

It should be possible to ping and reach devices on either end of the VPN tunnel if both devices have been configured correctly and have network connectivity.

    Step 1 Log into the IPn4G (Refer to Quick Start). Navigate to the Firewall > General tab as shown below and ensure that the Firewall is turned on by enabling the Firewall Status. Next block all WAN traffic by setting the WAN Request to Block, and disable Remote Management.
  • Page 185 Test the connections. The IPn4G should only allow connections to the port specified from the Host A. An alternate means to limit connections to the IPn4G to a specific IP would have been to use the MAC-IP List Tool. By using Rules, we can not only limit specific IP’s, but we can also specify ports that can be used by an allowed IP address.

    Appendix F: GRE Example The following pages outline the different GRE configurations available for the IPn4G. This may be useful in determining which fields are populated by showing a working example. Three different setups are shown: General GRE (without IPsec), GRE over IPsec (Transport Mode) and GRE over IPsec (Tunnel Mode).

    Question: How do I reset my modem to factory default settings? Answer: If you are logged into the IPn4G navigate to the System > Maintenance Tab. If you cannot log in, power on the IPn4G and wait until the status LED in on solid (not flashing). Press and hold the CONFIG button until the unit reboots (about 8-10 seconds).
  • Page 191 Answer: To access devices behind the IPn4G remotely, several methods can be used: A. IP Passthrough - The IPn4G is transparent and the connected device can be access directly. Refer to The IP-Passthrough Appendix for a detailed example of how this may be deployed.
  • Page 192 Question: Why does my modem reset every 10 minutes (or other time)? Answer: There are a number of processes in the IPn4G that ensure that the unit is communicating at all times, and if a problem is detected will reboot the modem to attempt to resolve any issues: 1.
