CONFIGURATION 4.8. VRRP Configuration To enter the VRRP configuration select the VRRP menu item. VRRP protocol (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a technique, by which it is possible to forward routing from main router to backup router in the case of the main router failure. If the Enable VRRP is checked, then it is possible to set the following parameters.
IP address when it is establishing the connection. If the APN field is not filled in, then ER 75i automatically selects the APN by the IMSI code of the SIM card. If the PLMN (operator number format) is not in the list of APN, then default APN is “internet“.
Page 40
The choice Get DNS address from operator is given for easier configuration on client side. If this field is filled in, then the ER 75i tries to get an IP address of primary and secondary DNS server from the operator automatically.
Page 41
CONFIGURATION The changes in settings will apply after pressing the Apply button. Annotation: • MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) – it is the identifier of the maximum size of packet, which is possible to transfer in a given environment. • MRU (Maximum Receiving Unit) – it is the identifier of the maximum size of packet, which is possible to receive in a given environment.
CONFIGURATION 4.10. Firewall Configuration By the help of a firewall it is possible to set IP addresses from which are possible to remotely access the router. The choice Allow remote access only from specified hosts is given for easier configuration of hosts. In this firewall configuration it is possible to set up to four remote accesses by the help of Source, Source IP Address, Protocol and Target Port.
Default Server item it is possible to put the ER 75i router into the mode in which all incoming data from GPRS will be routed to the computer with the defined IP address. If the Enable remote HTTP access field and port number is filled in, then configuration of the router over web interface is possible.
Page 44
CONFIGURATION In these configurations it is important to have marked choice of Send all remaining incoming packets it default server, IP address in this case is the address of the device behind the router. Connected equipment behind the router must have set Default Gateway on the router.
In this configuration equipment wired behind the ER 75i defines the address Server IP Address. The ER 75i replies, while PING on address of SIM card. Access on web interface of the equipment behind the ER 75i is possible by the help of Port Forwarding, when behind IP address of SIM is indicating public port of equipment on which we want to come up.

(Hostname), user name (Username) and password (Password). The changes in settings will apply after pressing the Apply button. Example of the DynDNS client configuration with domain conel.dyndns.org, username conel and password conel: If DNS servers are not assigned by the operator, then it is possible to configure it by inserting of script into start up window: echo “nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx“...
CONFIGURATION 4.17. NTP Client Configuration NTP client Configuration can be called up by option NTP item in the menu. In the window can be defined the address prime (Primary NTP server Address) and secondary NTP server (Secondary NTP server Address), by the help of which the router, after first Example of NTP interface to the GPRS from make power supply, will adjust the inner clock.
CONFIGURATION 4.18. SNMP Configuration To enter the SNMP Configuration it is possible with SNMP agent ver.1 configuration which sends information about the router, eventually about the status of the expansion port CNT or M-BUS. The Community item defines the password for access to the SNMP agent. Item Contact identifies a person who manages the router together with information how to contact this person, item Name is the designation of the router and item Location describes the physical placing of the router.
Example of the MIB browser: It is important to set the IP address of the SNMP agent (ER 75i) in field Remote SNMP agent. After enter the IP address is in a MIB tree part is possible show object identifier.
