Preparatory steps
NOTE
The router may only be configured by a qualified specialist. Changing the firmware and setting up an
IP address within an existing network may render the computers in the network unable to establish a
connection with each other.
Before performing the tasks described below, you must successfully complete the Kieback&Peter
online training course “Network Technology 1” at
https://testcenter.kiebackpeter.kup
.
To install the firmware, up-to-date firmware must be available for all VPN routers. Up-to-date firmware
is created with the
TechnoWay Configurator
(see the TechnoWay Configurator user manual).
NOTE
Ensure that the Internet access router is configured to support a permanent Internet connection.
Otherwise you may experience interruptions in the connection.
Configuring port forwarding on the Internet access router
For the VPN server: Port 1194/UDP must be forwarded to the WAN IP of the VPN router on the
Internet access router.
►
To do this, contact the network administrator of the network in which the server is located.
NOTE
Make sure that none of the LAN or WAN networks conflict with any of the client WAN networks
distributed via DHCP. This could cause connection problems between the affected peers.
