How Data Flows Through the Router
It is important to understand how data flows through the Aurora if you want to customize
your configuration.
4.3.1.
Default Configuration
The default configuration is ready for use with RedPort certified Email and/or Web:
Firewall
- closed, allows Internet access only via RedPort Services
DNS
- closed
RedPort
- disabled
SMS
- enabled
GPS Tracking
- disabled
GPS/NMEA Repeater
- disabled
Voice Capability
– enabled
In its default state, without any modifications, one primary account holder at-a-time can
connect to send/receive email or web browse using a RedPort-certified email service
like XGate or web browsing service like XWeb.
All email requests go directly to the upstream email server. The mail is downloaded to
the end-users computer/device and then the mail is purged from the server.
All web browsing requests go directly to the upstream compression server. Compressed
webpages are returned to the end-user, whenever compression is possible. The end-
user can set the compression level thru the RedPort-certified
web service program.
The default state is designed for the single user that uses services like XGate and XWeb
for email and web browsing and uses the XGate Phone app on their smartphone for
making voice calls.
4.3.2.
Without RedPort-Certified Service
In order to use the Aurora for web browsing without a RedPort-certified web service like
XWeb, you must first modify the firewall to allow traffic. See Section 8.7.
With the firewall open, any user on the local network can browse the web without
restrictions, limits, or, compression. All traffic goes straight to the Internet without any
filtering or compression.
