Connection principle
The device has configurable network interfaces.
•
Ethernet LAN port
•
Mobile WAN cellular interface
The device supports cellular connectivity (2G, 3G, LTE) allowing the use of wireless
applications. The WAN interface is used for connecting the device to public Internet
or private APN. The Ethernet LAN is used for connecting other Ethernet devices to the
device's local network.
The WAN interfaces can be configured to create a redundant system where one WAN
automatically receives traffic if the other one goes down. For example, if the primary
Ethernet connection goes down, the traffic is automatically switched to mobile WAN
(secondary connection) and back when the Ethernet interface comes up again.
6.2
Logging in
1.
Configure the computer to use the same IP address space as the device.
Example: Laptop IP is 10.10.10.11 with netmask 255.255.255.0.
2.
Check the IP configuration with the ping command in the command line.
3.
In a Web browser, connect to the device over the HTTPS protocol using the
device’s IP address.
Example: The default IP address of the device is 10.10.10.10. The corresponding
address to enter in the browser is https://10.10.10.10/.
