M2M Cellular Gateway
Configuration
The "Configuration" window is to enable the IPSec VPN function. In addition, if you want to
activate the network neighborhood communication to work between both Intranets of local and
remote peers in the IPSec VPN tunnel, you can check the "NetBIOS over IPSec" box. Moreover, if your
security gateway is under a NAT router and you want to create an IPSec VPN tunnel between your
security gateway and remote security gateway. Your gateway must act as the initiator for the IPSec
tunnel and the NAT router must pass through the IPSec packets from your security gateway to remote
one. Check the "NAT Traversal" box to setup the scenario of IPSec tunnel through NAT router. At last,
the "Configuration" window shows the maximum number of concurrent IPSec VPN tunnels that are
running in system.
Tunnel List & Status
The Tunnel List shows the setup parameters of all IPSec VPN tunnels and their connection status,
including the interface name for the tunnel endpoint, the tunnel name, the subnet of remote Intranet,
the IP address of remote gateway, its connection status and the tunnel enable checkbox.
There is one "Add" button at the "Tunnel List & Status" caption can let you add and create one
new IPSec VPN tunnel.
Tunnel Configuration
There are some parameters to setup the tunnel, like "Tunnel Configuration", "Local & Remote
Configuration", "Authentication", "IKE Phase", "IKE Proposal Definition", "IPSec Phase" and "IPSec
Proposal Definition" configuration windows.
Before going to setup the VPN connections, you may need to decide the scenario type for the
tunneling. The scenario can be "Site to Site", "Site to Host", "Host to Site", "Host to Host", or "Dynamic
VPN". There are three commonly used IPSec VPN connection scenarios as follows.
Index skipping is used to reserve slots for new function insertion, when required.
