Page 207: Appendix A. Restoration Of Factory Defaults
USER MANUAL Peplink Balance Series Appendix A. Restoration of Factory Defaults To restore the factory default settings on a Peplink Balance unit, perform the following: For Balance 20/30/30 LTE/210/310: Locate the reset button on the Peplink Balance unit. With a paper clip, press and keep the reset button pressed for at least 10 seconds, until the unit reboots itself.
Page 208: Appendix B. Routing Under Dhcp, Static Ip, And Pppoe
When the Peplink Balance is operating under NAT mode, the source IP addresses of outgoing IP packets are translated to the WAN IP address of Peplink Balance. With NAT, all LAN devices share the same WAN IP address to access the Internet (i.e. the WAN IP address of Peplink Balance).
Page 209: Routing Via Ip Forwarding
USER MANUAL Peplink Balance Series Routing via IP Forwarding When Peplink Balance is operating under IP Forwarding mode, the IP addresses of IP packets are unchanged; Peplink Balance forwards both inbound and outbound IP packets without changing their IP addresses.

Page 212: Maintaining The Same Ip Address Throughout A Session
ByDestinationoption selected, the Peplink Balance will usea consistent WAN connection for source- destination pairs of IP addresses,preventing sessions from being dropped. With Persistence is configured and the option By Sourceis selected, Peplink Balance uses a consistent WAN connection for same source IP addresses. This option offers higher application compatibility,but may inhibit the load balancing function unless there are many clients using the internet.
