ER-701T can be used to extend and access the corporate virtual LAN remotely with VPN function, for example, the user can use ER-701T to dial into corporate LAN. But the router in user's corporate LAN should support VPN in this way. We will illustrate below how to implement this kind of network connection with VPN.
Page 60
Figure Appendix 5-2: Configure router's VPN function Actually different routers have different configuration interface and options, we can configure it accordingly. 2) Configure ER-701T Login ER-701T's configuration interface, click "VPN function" and configure it as shown in the figure below:...
Page 61
Password -- the password configured in the router at corporate LAN side, i.e. the password configured in Linksys router before; VPN function -- ON, to enable VPN connection. After all settings are complete, reboot ER-701T. 3) Check dialing status Login ER-701T to check dialing status, as shown in the figure below:...
Page 62
For example, if the IP range at the corporate LAN side is 192.168.0.*, then ER-701T should be in other IP range, for example 192.168.1.*. 2) ER-701T and the PC or video server that connects to it should be in the same IP range. ER-701T's default gateway is 192.168.1.1, and if the IP range of the PC or video server that connects to ER-701T need to be 192.168.0.*, then change ER-701T's gateway to the same range, for...
ER-701T User Manual Appendix 6: Send/Receive SMS with the Router and SMS Format ER-701T supports sending/receiving SMSs via Ethernet interface.
