File
Field to input the uploaded configuration file. The Browse button can be used to locate the file in a specific folder.
The configuration file to be uploaded must be named

recommended that separate directories be used. The configuration backup or restore can be done over the local
Ethernet connection, or over the cellular network if Remote Administration is enabled, allowing remote access to
the Vanguard 3000 Web interface and the Firmware Update page. If restoring a configuration that specifies
connection on a different IP address for remote administration, you will need to know this IP address and enter it in
your browser address bar to navigate to the Vanguard Web interface after the Vanguard resets.

IP ADDRESSING
4.1
OVERVIEW
When Vanguard cellular router is connected to a cellular carrier, it will always have at least two IP addresses. The first is
the local area network (LAN) address. The Vanguard can be accessed through either the LAN 1 or LAN 2 Ethernet
connectors on the front panel using this IP address. This IP address is user configurable and is saved locally in the
Vanguard. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
The second Vanguard IP address is assigned by the cellular carrier each time the Vanguard connects to the cellular
network. Often, this IP address is publicly accessible from the Internet, however in some instances the cellular carrier
may assign an IP address that is protected by firewalls. When a publicly accessible IP address is assigned, data flows can
be initiated from either the Vanguard or from the Internet. When an IP address is protected by cellular firewalls, data
flows can only be initiated from the Vanguard. In either case, after a data flow has been established, data is free to
move in both directions.
For mobile models equipped with WiFi, the Vanguard will be assigned a third IP address on the WiFi wireless network.
