Using Ethernet devices in a WAN
The Connect IT 16/48 device has two Ethernet devices, named
ETH1
and
ETH2
. You can use these
Ethernet interfaces as a WAN when connecting to the Internet, through a device such as a cable
modem:
By default, the
ETH1
Ethernet device is configured as a WAN, named
ETH1
, with both DHCP and NAT
enabled and using the
External
firewall zone. This means you should be able to connect to the
Internet by connecting the
ETH1
Ethernet port to another device that already has an internet
connection.
The
ETH2
device is configured as a LAN interface, named
ETH2
, which uses the
Internal
firewall zone.
Using cellular modems in a Wireless WAN (WWAN)
The Connect IT 16/48 supports one cellular modem, named
WWAN cellular modem
, which is included
in a preconfigured Wireless WAN, also named
WWAN
.
The cellular modem can have only one active SIM slot at any one time. For example,
WWAN cellular
modem
can have either SIM1 or SIM2 up at one time.
Typically, you configure SIM1 of the cellular modem as the primary cellular interface, and SIM2 as the
backup cellular interface. In this way, if the Connect IT 16/48 device cannot connect to the network
using SIM1, it automatically fails over to SIM2. Connect IT 16/48 devices automatically use the correct
cellular module firmware for each carrier when switching SIMs.
