Page 7: Administrative Access
Administrative Access All administration and configuration is accomplished using the web UI, which can be accessed locally throughout the Ethernet connection or over the air through the WAN connection after the unit is connected to a cellular network. To use the local interface connect a computer to the controller’s Ethernet port using a standard Ethernet cable. - Page 8 The Quick Panel display presents an overview of the network and equipment status, and provides navigation to the Administrative functions. The Quick Panel status information is a snapshot in time and must be refreshed to observe changes in dynamic parameters such as network connections or signal strength. The Admin Main button on the Quick Panel will display the main administrative screen as shown in Figure 2.

Page 16: General Configuration
General Configuration Firewall Status - When enabled the firewall blocks all WAN traffic except for port 80 and the serial pad port if, and only if the serial pad is active. Since an SMS command (TechNote TN009) can be used to temporarily open ports for ad-hoc maintenance there are very few reasons to ever disable the firewall. -
Page 17: Additional Security Features
Additional Security Features Multiple Failed Login Attempts Three (3) consecutive failed login attempts on either the LAN or the WAN interface will cause subsequent login attempts to see a “Locked” screen. Once the “Locked” condition occurs the user must wait for 30 minutes with no further login attempts before it clears. -
