Linx
Chapter 2: StrideLinx Cloud 2.0
Getting Started:
Using a wired connection (any model StrideLinx router)
The StrideLinx VPN Router will be connected to Stridelinx Cloud 2.0
using an Ethernet cable connected to a port on your company network.
Create a configuration file
A configuration file wizard in StrideLinx Fleet Manager will guide you through creating the
configuration file. The wizard is pre-populated with commonly used settings to simplify the
process.
1. Go to the Fleet Manager, which is accessible via the Apps menu
corner when logged into your StrideLinx account.
2. Open the main menu
[Start configuration] on the Router config file card.
3. Select the connection type "Wired network".
4. Enter the details for how your StrideLinx router will connect to the internet. In most
cases, you can obtain an IP address automatically, automatically assign your
DNS server via DHCP, and leave HTTP Proxy disabled. If you will be using port
forwarding, though, we strongly advise you to configure a static IP address. Configuring
a static IP address will also require that you set a custom DNS server. If you are unsure
about what to configure or enter, please consult the local IT administrator.
CAUTION: The LAN IP address and WAN IP address need to be on separate subnets.
The address range 10.3.x.x is reserved for communications between the server and the router. Addresses in
this range may not be configured by the user.
5. Local control over remote accessibility, if enabled, will allow you to enable/disable the
VPN connection via a wired digital input on the router. Wiring details are in Chapter 1.
6. Enter a unique IP address for the LAN side of the router (machine network). Note that
this IP address needs to be in the same range as the machine and that its last number
needs to be different from the machine to prevent an IP conflict.
NOTE: The LAN range (machine network, e.g. 192.168.140.x) needs to differ from the
WAN range (company network). More information can be found in the online help.
7. Click [Download file] to download the generated file and save it to the root directory of
a USB flash drive. Note that the filename on the USB drive must be exactly router.conf
with no added characters, in case your browser added a suffix when saving the file.
