1. BASIC INFORMATION
Configuration
Configuring SPECTRE routers is made easy by a password protected web interface. The
interface provides detailed statistics about router activities, signal strength, system logs and
more. The router supports the creation of secure VPN tunnels using technologies that include
IPsec , OpenVPN and L2TP . The router also supports DHCP , NAT , NAT-T , DynDNS client ,
NTP , VRRP , control by SMS, backup of primary connection and many other functions.
Additional diagnostic features designed to ensure continuous communication include au-
tomatic inspection of PPP connections, an automatic restart feature in case a connection is
lost, and a hardware watchdog that monitors the status of the router. Using a start up script
window, users can insert Linux scripts for various actions. Users may insert multiple scripts
and the router can switch between configurations as needed. Examples would include using
SMS or checking the status of the binary input. SPECTRE v3 routers can automatically up-
date their configurations and firmware from a central server, allowing for mass reconfiguration
of multiple routers at the same time.
Configuration Options
Routers can be configured via web browser or Secure Shell ( SSH ). Configuration via Web
Browser is described in this Configuration Manual. Commands and scripts applicable in con-
figuration via
SSH are described in Commands and Scripts for v2 and v3 Routers – Application
Note [1] . The standard and optional equipment and technical parameters of your router can

VPN server SmartCluster [2] and software for router monitoring R-SeeNet [3, 4] .
