SITUATIONS Figure 88: Backup access to the Internet – WiFi configuration Mobile WAN configuration To configure the mobile connection it should be sufficient to in- sert the SIM card into the SIM1 slot and attach the antenna to the ANT connector. (Depending on the SIM card you are using).
7. CONFIGURATION IN TYP. SITUATIONS Backup Routes configuration After setting up the backup routes you will need to set their priorities. In Figure the eth1 wired connection has the highest priority. If that connection fails, the second choice will be the WiFi wlan0 network interface. The third choice will be the mobile connection –...
7. CONFIGURATION IN TYP. SITUATIONS 7.3 Secure Networks Interconnection or Using VPN Figure 91: Secure networks interconnection – sample topology VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a protocol used to create a secure connection between two LANs, allowing them to function as a single network. The connection is secured (encrypted) and authenticated (verified).
7. CONFIGURATION IN TYP. SITUATIONS Mobile WAN configuration The mobile connection can be configured as described in the previous situations. (The router connects itself after a SIM card is inserted into SIM1 slot and an antenna is attached to the ANT connector.) Configuration is accessible via the Mobile WAN item the Configuration section.
7. CONFIGURATION IN TYP. SITUATIONS 7.4 Serial Gateway Figure 93: Serial Gateway – sample topology The router’s serial gateway function lets you establish serial connectivity across the Internet or with another network. Serial devices (meters, PLC, etc.) can then upload and download data.
7. CONFIGURATION IN TYP. SITUATIONS Figure 94: Serial Gateway – konfigurace Expansion Port 1 To communicate with the serial device (PLC), connect from the PC (Labeled as SCADA in Fig. 93) as a TCP client to the IP address 10.0.6.238, port 2345 (the public IP address of the SIM card used in the router, corresponding to the usb0 network interface).
