    ZyWAN-G9 - User Manual Configuration Example 1: Network Router The Network Router configuration example illustrates the following features of the ZyWAN-G9:  Cellular Internet connection  Local Ethernet LAN connection  Wireless (WiFi) 802.11 network connection (access point)  Allowing Ethernet or WiFi devices on the network to connect to the Internet via cellular, using the ZyWAN-G9 as a gateway (NAT) The following table lists the network settings used in this example.

  • Page 109: Ethernet Setup

    PART 3: CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES Ethernet Setup Do not configure the Default Gateway and DNS Server addresses because these addresses will override the cellular network. If configured, the Default Gateway address will be the ZyWAN-G9‟s default route, and the ZyWAN will obtain its public DNS servers from that network. The following screen capture shows the Ethernet configuration page.

  • Page 110: Networking Setup

    ZyWAN-G9 - User Manual Networking Setup Port 67 (UDP) is required for the ZyWAN-G9 to act as a Default Gateway to other devices, and port 53 (UDP) is required for it to act as a DNS server. The NAT entries allow devices on each network to route through the ZyWAN-G9 to reach the cellular network (ppp0 interface).
