Step 6 Enable cellular router features
In the default
OoB access mode
, the connection to the carrier cellular network is always
on, awaiting any incoming access to the ACM5004-GS itself or attached serial consoles. The
ACM5004-GS also provides cellular routing (disabled by default) whereby IP traffic is
selectively routed between the cellular connected network and the local Ethernet network
(LAN). To enable routing:
Select the
Forwarding &Masquerading
tab on
System:
Firewall
Network Forwarding
allows devices on the local private LAN to IP connect
through to the public network. To enable, check
Dialout/Cellular
to be enabled
as the
Destination Network
for the
Network Interface
Source Network
IP Masquerading
allows devices on the LAN to hide behind and share the one
public IP address when cellular connecting to the public network. To enable check
Enable IP Masquerading (SNAT)
on
Dialout/Cellular
Configure
Port Forwarding
and set
Port Rules
so
external users can
selectively initiate connections to the masqueraded devices on the LAN
Set the
Service Access
rules for routed connections to the ACM5004-GS itself
Configure the devices on the LAN with new
Gateway
and
DNS
settings
Step 7 Other modes and functions
In this default
out of band access mode
, the connection to the carrier cellular network
is always on. An alternative is
failover mode.
This will tell the internal cellular connection
to remain idle in a low power state. Only when primary and secondary probes are not
successful will it connect to the cellular carrier (refer to the User Manual)
