primary frequency
– the primary frequency of the Gateway is center frequency to which the
Extenders, Extender Bridges, and Connectors are expected to connect. Specify the primary frequency
in MHz as a four digit number (e.g. 5745).
If IPsec VPNs are being used (note that Trilliant strongly recommends their use), the following Gateway
parameter
must
also be configured:
VPN credentials
— the VPN shared secret allows a SecureMesh WAN management tunnel to be
established to the VPN router (note that in automatic provisioning mode, node configuration is provided
in a secure manner over the IPsec VPN tunnel, requiring the VPN credentials in order to establish the
tunnel and thus necessitating that they be configured before deployment). Because a SecureMesh
WAN node’s IP address may be dynamic (for instance, a node may connect to different IP subnets
through different SecureMesh WAN Gateways), a VPN router will be unable to differentiate between
different VPN clients, and the SecureMesh WAN nodes in a network must all employ the same VPN
shared secret. The VPN shared secret is any ACSII string up to 64 bytes in length, using any
combination of letters, numbers, or symbols.
