OpEdge
Industrial Edge Gateway – Release 01.0.00 – 10/2022
C. Troubleshooting the OpEdge
1. How do I configure one of the Ethernet ports on the OpEdge as a WAN port?
There are seven GB Ethernet ports on the OpEdge. Any port can be configured as a
WAN or LAN port. There can only be a maximum of one WAN port. The WAN and
LAN ports can have different subnets. The ports can be configured using the local
webserver or via Belden Horizon.
2. What is an Allowed IP List?
The terms
Allowed IP List
and
IP Whitelist
have the same meaning. It is a list of
specific IP addresses or a range of IP addresses that will be allowed to connect to the
OpEdge’s webpage through the WAN interface. To configure the OpEdge’s
Allowed IP
List
, go to the
System
tab.
NOTE:
The OpEdge’s
Allowed IP List
is different to the
Allowed IP Connections
setting in Belden
Horizon.
Allowed IP Connections
can only be configured in Belden Horizon. This is a list of specific end
device IP addresses that a user can access when they tunnel (remotely connect via Belden Horizon) into
the OpEdge. To configure the
Allowed IP Connections
setting, make sure the OpEdge is activated in
Belden Horizon and then go to the
Tunneling/VPN
tab.
3. Can more than one of the on-board Ethernet ports be configured as a WAN
port?
No, only one of the Ethernet ports can be configured as a WAN interface.
4. Can the Ethernet ports be on different subnets?
Yes, the LAN and WAN ports can be on different subnets. The LAN interfaces will only
support a single subnet.
5. How do I activate the OpEdge in Belden Horizon? Do I need to do this?
It is highly recommended that the OpEdge be activated in Belden Horizon. Please
refer to the User Manual or the Quick Start Guide for more details.
6. I am unable to remotely access the OpEdge webpage. Why?
By default, the webpage is disabled when connecting remotely. The OpEdge can be
managed via Belden Horizon when connecting remotely.
7. Can I access the internet through the OpEdge?
Yes, the internet can be accessed through the OpEdge. Internet access is disabled by
default. It is not recommended to ‘always’ enable the internet access.
