Page 15: General Configuration
10 October 2016 General Configuration Firewall Status - When enabled the firewall blocks all WAN traffic except for port 80 and the serial pad port if, and only if the serial pad is active. Since an SMS command (TechNote TN009) can be used to temporarily open ports for ad-hoc maintenance there are very few reasons to ever disable the firewall. -
Page 16: Device Profile
10 October 2016 7 Device Profile The Device Profile screen performs two key functions. First, it is used to configure the Z4550’s LAN for either network gateway or network client operation. Second, it is used to configure a number of parameters used by SkyRouter resident applications for alarming, reporting, and formatting the dashboard display. -

10 October 2016 8 Local Interfaces 8.1 Overview Figures 6 and 7 below show the location of local interfaces, indicators, and controls found on the Z4550 SkyRouter. Figure 8 Figure 9 8.2 RS232/RS485 Ports The RS232/RS485 screen is used to configure the physical (electrical and timing) characteristics of the serial ports. The serial ports can be connected to the TCP/UDP PAD function for WAN transmission. -
Page 18: Rs232
A general-purpose RS485 connection is provided on pins 13 and 14 of the top connector block. The TR1 connection can be connected to the serial (TCP/UDP/PPP) pad function (TN039), and is used to support RS485 Modbus controllers that interface with Ctek’s Automation Control application. See Application Note APN008 for details on interfacing to Modbus controllers using Automation Control. -
Page 19: Ethernet Port Forwarding
10 October 2016 8.4 Ethernet Port Forwarding In the gateway mode of operation (see section 5.1) the Z4550 SkyRouter routes data to and from the wireless network IP connection to a class C range of local (private) IP addresses available on the RJ45 Ethernet connector. To accomplish this the Port Forwarding screen allows you to forward WAN side IP traffic arriving on a specific IP Port to a specific Port at a designated LAN side address. -
