Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The Regesta-PLC router configuration tool provides a quick and efficient start up. It is a Web Configurator that runs automatically and takes into account the router's work scenario. The configuration parameters, which can be accessed through the web, are those vital to the router operations. The remaining para- meters (hidden from the user) aim at optimizing the operating system.

A DMVPN network is made up of a next-hop server known as a HUB. This has a public IP address, destination for the tunnels that the remote devices establish (REGESTA-PLC), and a private destination IP address for the GRE tunnels that are necessary to transport the routing protocol.

• IPSec Mode: This is the initial IKE protocol phase that authenticates the ends and can be one of two types: Main and Aggressive. The Aggressive mode allows the REGESTA-PLC devices to be identified by a pre- shared key. Thus, pools of devices authenticated through a given pre-shared key can be created.
SIM2 (whenever there are two SIM cards). The other possible option, ADSL, is only avail- able when you have a device model with an ADSL interface (this does not apply to Regesta-PLC). • Key: Key used in the GRE tunnels to distinguish which mGRE interface a tunnel corresponds to, in the HUB, when there is more than one mGRE interface in a tunnel terminator router.

2 Web Interface Teldat S.A. Here you can decide whether to install default routes in the device through tunnels when these are active (by se- lecting the Disable option and checking the checkbox) or explicitly add a default router through the ppp/direct-ip connections (by selecting the Enable option).

(b) Timeout Adjustment. This is the period of file updating (time between save and save).
3 Configuration Recommendations Teldat S.A. Chapter 3 Configuration Recommendations • Keepalive mechanism in the tunnels The keepalive mechanism determines the time (T) the device takes to detect a drop in a tunnel. Its value is determ- ined by the Keepalive Period Reachable, Keepalive Period Unreachable and Keepalive Stability Threshold para-...
Page 44
3 Configuration Recommendations Teldat S.A. In high speed channels like HSDPA, you can reduce the Keepalive Period Unreachable parameter without trigger- ing false tunnel drops due to peaks of traffic. However, remember the device can dynamically change the type of cellular network it is connected to at any point.
