3 Setting up your router

3.1 Installation
After you unpack the box, follow the steps, documented below, in order to properly connect the device. For
better Wi-Fi performance, put the device in clearly visible spot, as obstacles such as walls and door hinder the signal.

1. First assemble your router by attaching the necessary antennas and inserting the SIM card.
2. To power up your router, please use the power adapter included in the box. (IMPORTANT: Using a different
power adapter can damage and void the warranty for this product.).
3. If you have a wired broadband connection you will also have to connect it to the WAN port of the router.

2. Green, red and yellow blinking alternatively every 500 ms: connecting to GSM;
3. Red blinking every 1 sec: connected 2G, but no data session established;
4. Yellow blinking every 1 sec: connected 3G, no data session established;
5. Green blinking every 1 sec: connected 4G, no data session established;

Red lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred: connected 2G with data session;
Yellow lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred: connected 3G with data session;
Green lit and blinking rapidly while data is being transferred: connected 4G with data session;

12
3.1.3 Hardware installation
1. Remove back panel and insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM card
orientation is shown in the picture.

SIM 1 (primary) SIM 2 (secondary)

2. Attach LTE main and Wi-Fi antennas.

3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power
adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika_Router) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN
Ethernet port.

3.2 Logging in
After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into
your router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start ->
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Centre -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click
Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You won’t see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead
you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6)

We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router.

1. Press the start button 2. Type in “network connections”, wait for the results to pop
up.

13
 3. Click “View network connections” 4. Then right click on your wireless device that you use to
connect to other access points (It is the one with the name
“Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its
icon).

5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click 6. By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled, which
Properties means that if you select “Obtain an IP address automatically”
and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, the router
should lease you an IP and you should be ready to login.

7. If you choose to configure manually here’s what you have to do:

First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the
form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.155 and
so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are not). Next we enter the
subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally
we enter primary and secondary DNS server IP’s. One will suffice, though it is good to have a secondary one as well as it

14
will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external
DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).

Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect. A list should pop up with all available
wireless networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect. Then we launch our favorite browser and enter the routers IP
into the address field:

Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this:

Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your
mouse or press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the RUT950!

From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.

15
4 Operation Modes
The RUT9xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via
mobile, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your
main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first
router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that
fails too, router tries the second backup option.

WAN Main WAN Backup WAN LAN

Mobile √ √ x
Ethernet √ √ √
Wi-Fi √ √ √
In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.

5 Powering Options
The RUT9xx router can be powered from power socket or over Ethernet port. Depending on your network
architecture you can use LAN 1 port to power the device.

RUT9xx can be powered from power socket and over Ethernet simultaneously. Power socket has higher priority
meaning that the device will draw power from power socket as long as it is available.

When RUT9xx is switching from one power source to the other it loses power for a fraction of the second and
may reboot. The device will function correctly after the reboot.

Though the device can be powered over Ethernet port it is not compliant with IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard.
Powering RUT9xx from IEEE 802.3af-2003 power supply will damage the device as it is not rated for input voltages of
PoE standard.

16
 5.1 Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 –
30 VDC) please make sure that you choose power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage
peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connecting and disconnecting them.

While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC peaks from high voltage power supplies can
harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety
equipment to suppress voltage peaks from power supply.

requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router
will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS
servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.

7.2.2.1.2 DHCP:

When you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional
advanced configuration.

7.2.2.1.3 PPPoE
This protocol is mainly used by DSL providers:

This is the configuration setup for when you select PPPoE protocol.

Filed name Sample Explanation

1. PAP/CHAP username test Your username and password that you would use to connect to your
carriers network.
2. PAP/CHAP password your_password A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is
3. Access Concentrator auto Specifies the name of access concentrator. Leave empty to auto
detect.
4. Service Name auto Specifies the name of the service. Leave empty to auto detect.

7.2.2.2 Advanced
These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is
highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:

54
7.2.2.2.1 Static

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT On/Off Toggle NAT on and off.
2 Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you
a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC
address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this
field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the
gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
3. Override MTU 1500 Maximum Transmission Unit – specifies the largest possible size
of a data packet.
4. Use gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table
entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry.
7.2.2.2.2 DHCP

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this
interface
2 Use broadcast flag Enable/Disable Required for certain ISPs, e.g. Charter with DOCSIS 3
3. Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured
4. Use DNS server Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
advertised by peer
5. User gateway metric 0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry

55
 With this field you can alter the metric of that entry
6. Client ID to send when Specify client ID which will be sent when requesting DHCP
requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
7. Vendor Class to send Specify vendor class which be sent when requesting DHCP
when requesting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
8. Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you
a static IP address it might also bind it to your computers MAC
address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this
field you can enter your computers MAC address and fool the
gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
9. Override MTU 1500 Maximum transmission unit – specifies the largest possible size of
a data packet.

7.2.2.2.3 PPPoE

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Disable NAT Enable/Disable If checked, router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this
interface
2 Use default gateway Enable/Disable If unchecked, no default route is configured
3. Use gateway metric 0
4. Use DNS servers Enable/Disable If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
advertised by peer
5. LCP echo failure 0 Presume peer to be dead after given amount of LCP echo failures,
threshold use 0 to ignore failures
6. LCP echo interval 5 Send LCP echo requests at the given interval in seconds, only
effective in conjunction with failure threshold
7. Inactivity timeout 0 Close inactive connection after the given amount of seconds, use
0 to persist connection

7.2.2.2.4 IP Aliases
IP aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.

56
 As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; only in the example a 99th subnet is
defined. Now if some device has an IP in the 99 subnet (192.168.99.xxx) and the subnets gateway metric is “higher” and
the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common
configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases.

You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server.

7.2.2.2.5 Backup WAN configuration

Backup WAN is function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be
two backup connections selected at the same time, in that case, when primary connection fails, router tries to use
backup with higher priority and if that is unavailable or fails too, then router tries the backup with lower priority.

The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of
your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your
primary connection. When the connections state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary
amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted
so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought
up or down.
57
 Field Name Sample value Explanation
1. Health monitor Interval Disable/5/10/20/30/60/120 The interval at which health checks are performed
Seconds
2. Health monitor ICMP host(s) Disable/DNS Server(s) Where to Ping for a health check. As there is no
/WAN GW/Custom definitive way to determine when the connection
to internet is down for good, you’ll have to define
a host whose availability that of the internet as a
whole.
3. Health monitor ICMP timeout 1/3/4/5/10 Seconds How long to wait for an ICMP request to come
back. Set a higher value if your connection has
high latency or high jitter (latency spikes).
4. Attempts before failover 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should fail for your WAN
connection to be declared DOWN for good.
5. Attempts before recovery 1/3/5/10/15/20 How many checks should pass for your WAN
connection to be declared UP.

7.2.2.3 How do I set up a backup link?

First we must select a main link and choose one or two backup links in WAN section. Then push the “Edit” button
and configure your WAN and Backup Wan settings to your liking. Click Save and wait until the settings are applied. Now
in the Status -> Network Information -> WAN page there should be a status indication for the backup WAN. If everything
is working correctly you should see something like this:

The above picture shows the status for Backup WAN configured on a wired main link. You can now simulate a
downed link by simply unplugging your Ethernet WAN cable. When you’ve done so you should see this:

And, if you plug the cable back in you should, again, see this:

 7.3 LAN
This page is used to configure the LAN network, where all your devices and computers that you connect to the
router will reside.

7.3.1 Configuration

7.3.1.1 General Setup

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. IP address 192.168.1.1 Address that the router uses on the LAN network
2 IP netmask 255.255.255.0 A mask used to define how large the LAN network is
3. IP broadcast IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and
send requests to their respective servers

7.3.1.2 Advanced settings

3. Use gateway metric 0 With this field you can alter the metric of that entry
4. Use WAN port as LAN Enable/Disable Enable/disable WAN port using as LAN port
59
7.3.2 DHCP Server
The DHCP server is the router side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that
requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain IP address automatically the DHCP
server will lease an IP address and the device will be able to fully communicate with the router.

7.3.2.1 General Setup

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. DHCP Enable / Disable/ Manage DHCP server
DHCP Relay
2. Start 100 The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out to
devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be in the range of
[192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255 are special
unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to 100 then the DHCP server will
only be able to lease out addresses starting from 192.168.2.100
3. Limit 150 How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the above
example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address will be
192.168.2.254 (100 + 150 – 1 = 254).
4. Lease time 12 How long can a leased IP be considered valid. An IP address after the specified
amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will have to request
for a new one. Select Hour or Minute (minimum 2min).

60
7.3.2.2 Advanced settings
You can also define some advanced options that specify how the DHCP server will operate on your LAN network.

Field Name Sample Value Explanation

1. Dynamic DHCP Checked/Unchecked Dynamically allocate client addresses, if set to 0 only clients present
in the ethers files are served
2. Force Checked/Unchecked Forces DHCP serving even if another DHCP server is detected on the
same network segment.
3. IP netmask You can override your LAN netmask here to make the DHCP server
think it’s serving a larger or a smaller network than it actually is.
4. DHCP Options Additional options to be added for this DHCP server. For example
with '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' you can assign an MTU per
DHCP. Your client must accept MTU by DHCP for this to work.

7.3.2.3 Static Leases

This page is used to configure static IP leases.

Field Name Sample Value Explanation

1. Hostname Printer Name which will be linked with IP address.
2. MAC address 10:a5:d0:70:9c:72 (192.168.1.104) Device MAC address
3. IP address 192.168.1.104 Device IP address

7.3.2.4 IP Aliases
7.3.2.4.1 General Setup
IP aliases are the way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.

61
7.3.2.4.2 Advanced Settings
You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server.

62
 7.4 Wireless
On this page you can configure your wireless settings. Depending on whether your WAN mode is set to Wi-Fi or
not, the page will display either the options for configuring an Access Point or options for configuring a connection to
some local access point.

Access Point:

Here you can see the Overview of the wireless configuration. It is divided into two main sections – device and
interface. One is dedicated to configuring hardware parameters other – software.

Here you can toggle the availability of the wireless radio and the physical channel frequency.

Important note: As seen in the picture you should always Save before toggling the radio on and off.

SSID – Your wireless networks identification string. This is the name of your Wi-Fi network. When other Wi-Fi
capable computers or devices scan the area for Wi-Fi networks they will see your network with this name.

Hide SSID – Will render your SSID hidden from other devices that try to scan the area.

Connect to WRP100 automatically – let Teltonika WRP100 wireless repeater connect to this router automatically.

63
7.4.1.1 Device
7.4.1.1.1 Advanced Settings

Here you can configure more advanced parameters:

Field name Sample value Explanation

1. Mode Auto, b, g, g+n Different modes provide different throughput and security
options.
2. Country Code Any ISO/IEC 3166 alpha2 Selecting this will help the wireless radio configure its
country code internal parameters to meet your countries wireless
regulations.
3. Transmit power 20%/40%/60%/80%/100% Select Wi-Fi signal power
4. Fragmentation 2346 The smallest packet size that can be fragmented and
threshold transmitted by multiple frames. In areas were interference is
a problem, setting a lower fragment threshold might help
reduce the probability of unsuccessful packet transfers, thus
increasing speed.
5. RTS/CTS Threshold 2346 Request to send threshold. It can help resolve problems
arising when several access points are in the same area,
contending.

7.4.1.2 Interface
7.4.1.2.1 Security
Encryption – there are many modes of encryption, a distinctive classis pointed out below.

64
 First select an encryption method: TKIP, CCMP, TKIP&CCMP and auto. Note: Some authentication methods won’t
support TKIP (and TKIP&CCMP) encryption. After you’ve selected your encryption method, you should enter your pass
phrase, which must be at least 8 characters long.

7.4.1.2.2 MAC-Filter

Filter – you can define a rule for what to do with the MAC list you’ve defined. You can either allow only the listed
MACs or allow ALL, but forbid only the listed ones.

7.4.1.2.3 Advanced settings

Separate clients – prevents Wi-Fi clients from communicating with each other on the same subnet.

Increase TTL packet size – increase TTL packet size for incoming packets.

7.4.1.3 Client
RUT9xx can work as a Wi-Fi client. Client mode is nearly identical to AP, except for the fact that most for the
options are dictated by the wireless access point that the router is connecting to. Changing them can result in an
interrupted connection to an AP.

In addition to standard options you can also click the Scan button to rescan the surrounding area and attempt to
connect to a new wireless access point.

7.6 Firewall
In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT9.

7.6.1 General Settings

The routers firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate
control over inbound and outbound traffic.

67
 Field Name Sample value Explanation
1. Drop Invalid Checked/Unchecked A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
packets
2. Input Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Input chain.
3. Output Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Output chain.
4. Forward Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Forward chain.
*DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If
no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed.

Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain.

Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted.

Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection
is sent to the source of the dropped packet.

7.6.2 DMZ

By enabling DMZ for a specific internal host (for e.g.: your computer), you will expose that host and its services to
the routers WAN network (i.e. - internet).

68
7.6.3 Port Forwarding
Here you can define your own port forwarding rules.

You can use port forwarding to set up servers and services on local LAN machines. The above picture shows how
you can set up a rule that would allow a website that is being hosted on 192.168.1.109, to be reached from the outside
by entering http://routersExternalIp:12345/.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Name Enable_SSH_WAN_PASSTHROUGH Name of the rule. Used purely to make it easier to
manage rules.
2. Protocol TCP/UDP/TCP+UDP/Other Type of protocol of incoming packet.
3. External Port 1-65535 From this port on the WAN network the traffic will be
forwarded.
4. Internal IP address IP address of some computer on The IP address of the internal machine that hosts
your LAN some service that we want to access from the outside.
5. Internal port 1-65535 To that port on the internal machine the rule will
redirect the traffic.

When you click edit you can fine tune a rule to near perfection, if you should desire that.

forward-facing IP address (such as 208.112.93.73) of
a machine that it also on your local network
14. Extra arguments Passes additional arguments to iptables. Use with
care!

70
7.6.4 Traffic Rules

use iptables, check out the internet for manuals, examples and explanations.

7.6.6 DDOS Prevention

7.6.6.1 SYN Flood Protection

SYN Flood Protection allows you to protect from attack that exploits part of the normal TCP three-way handshake
to consume resources on the targeted server and render it unresponsive. Essentially, with SYN flood DDoS, the offender
sends TCP connection requests faster than the targeted machine can process them, causing network saturation.

75
 Field Name Sample value Explanation
1. Enable SYN flood protection Enable/Disable Makes router more resistant to SYN flood attacks.
2. SYN flood rate “25” Set rate limit (packets/second) for SYN packets above
which the traffic is considered a flood.
3. SYN flood burst “50” Set burst limit for SYN packets above which the traffic is
considered a flood if it exceeds the allowed rate.
4. TCP SYN cookies Enable/Disable Enable the use of SYN cookies (particular choices of
initial TCP sequence numbers by TCP servers).

7.6.6.2 Remote ICMP requests

Attackers are using ICMP echo request packets directed to IP broadcast addresses from remote locations to
generate denial-of-service attacks.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Enable ICMP requests Enable/Disable Blocks remote ICMP echo-request type
2. Enable ICMP limit Enable/Disable Enable ICMP echo-request limit in selected period
3. Limit period Second/Minute/Hour/Day Select in what period limit ICMP echo-request
4. Limit “10” Maximum ICMP echo-request during the period
5. Limit burst “5” Indicating the maximum burst before the above limit
kicks in.

76
7.6.6.3 SSH Attack Prevention
Prevent SSH (Allows a user to run commands on a machine's command prompt without them being physically
present near the machine.) attacks by limiting connections in defined period.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Enable SSH limit Enable/Disable Enable SSH connections limit in selected period
2. Limit period Second/Minute/Hour/Day Select in what period limit SSH connections
3. Limit “10” Maximum SSH connections during the period
4. Limit burst “5” Indicating the maximum burst before the above limit
kicks in.

7.6.6.4 HTTP Attack Prevention

HTTP attack sends a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size
of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely
slow rate (e.g. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will
attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted,
hence slowing it down.

Field Name Sample value Explanation

1. Enable HTTP limit Enable/Disable Limits HTTP connections per period
2. Limit period Second/Minute/Hour/Day Select in what period limit HTTP connections
3. Limit “10” Maximum HTTP connections during the period
4. Limit burst “10” Indicating the maximum burst before the above limit
kicks in.

7.7 Routing
7.7.1 Static Routes
Static routes specify over which interface and gateway a certain host or network can be reached.

79
 Field name Value Explanation
1. Routing table MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 Defines the table to use for the route
2. Interface MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 The zone where the target network resides
3. Destination address IP address The address of the destination network
4. Netmask IP mask Mask that is applied to the Target to determine to what actual
IP addresses the routing rule applies
5. Gateway IP address To where the router should send all the traffic that applies to
the rule
6. Metric integer Used as a sorting measure. If a packet about to be routed fits
two rules, the one with the higher metric is applied.

Additional note on Target & Netmask: You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this: Target - some IP;
Netmask - 255.255.255.255. Furthermore you can define a rule that applies to a segment of IPs like this: Target – some
IP that STARTS the segment; Netmask – Netmask that defines how large the segment is. E.g.:

192.168.55.161 255.255.255.255 Only applies to 192.168.55.161

 8.5 VPN
8.5.1 OpenVPN
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section
explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT9 router.

A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new
configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in “New
configuration name” field, select device role from “Role” drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with
configuration name demo, select client role, name it “demo” and press “Add New” button as shown in the following
picture.

To see at specific configuration settings press “edit” button located in newly created configuration entry. A new
page with detailed configuration appears, as shown in the picture below (TLS client example).

88
 There can be multiple server/client instances.

You can set custom settings here according to your VPN needs. Below is summary of parameters available to set:

Field name Explanation

1. Enabled Switches configuration on and off. This must be selected to make configuration active.
2. TUN/TAP Selects virtual VPN interface type. TUN is most often used in typical IP-level VPN connections,
however, TAP is required to some Ethernet bridging configurations.
3. Protocol Defines a transport protocol used by connection. You can choose here between TCP and UDP.
4. Port Defines TCP or UDP port number (make sure, that this port allowed by firewall).
5. LZO This setting enables LZO compression. With LZO compression, your VPN connection will
89
 generate less network traffic; however, this means higher router CPU loads. Use it carefully
with high rate traffic or low CPU resources.
6. Encryption Selects Packet encryption algorithm.
7. Authentication Sets authentication mode, used to secure data sessions. Two possibilities you have here:
“Static key” means, that OpenVPN client and server will use the same secret key, which must
be uploaded to the router using “Static pre-shared key” option. “TLS” authentication mode
uses X.509 type certificates. Depending on your selected OpenVPN mode (client or server)
you have to upload these certificates to the router:
For client: Certificate Authority (CA), Client certificate, Client key.
For server: Certificate Authority (CA), Server certificate, Server key and Diffie-Hellman (DH)
certificate used to key exchange through unsafe data networks.
All mention certificates can be generated using OpenVPN or Open SSL utilities on any type
host machine. Certificate generation and theory is out of scope of this user manual.
8. TLS cipher Packet encryption algorithm (cipher)
9. Remote host/IP IP address of OpenVPN server (applicable only for client configuration).
address
10. Resolve Retry Sets time in seconds to try resolving server hostname periodically in case of first resolve
failure before generating service exception.
11. Keep alive Defines two time intervals: one is used to periodically send ICMP request to OpenVPN server,
and another one defines a time window, which is used to restart OpenVPN service, if no ICPM
request is received during the window time slice. Example Keep Alive “10 60”
12. Remote network IP address of remote network, an actual LAN network behind another VPN endpoint.
IP address
13. Remote network Subnet mask of remote network, an actual LAN network behind another VPN endpoint.
IP netmask
14. Max routes Allow a maximum number of routes to be pulled from an OpenVPN server
15. HMAC Sets HMAC authentication algorithm
authentication
algorithm
16. Additional Add an additional layer of HMAC authentication on top of the TLS control channel to protect
HMAC against DoS attacks
authentication
17. Certificate Certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the
authority ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
18. Client certificate Client certificate is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make
authenticated requests to a remote server. Client certificates play a key role in many mutual
authentication designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity.
19. Client key Authenticating the client to the server and establishing precisely who they are

After setting any of these parameters press “Save” button. Some of selected parameters will be shown in the
configuration list table. You should also be aware of the fact that router will launch separate OpenVPN service for every
configuration entry (if it is defined as active, of course) so the router has ability to act as server and client at the same
time.

8.5.2 IPSec
The IPsec protocol client enables the router to establish a secure connection to an IPsec peer via the Internet.
IPsec is supported in two modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode creates secure point to point channel between
two hosts. Tunnel mode can be used to build a secure connection between two remote LANs serving as a VPN solution.

90
 IPsec system maintains two databases: Security Policy Database (SPD) which defines whether to apply IPsec to a
packet or not and specify which/how IPsec-SA is applied and Security Association Database (SAD), which contain Key of
each IPsec-SA.

The establishment of the Security Association (IPsec-SA) between two peers is needed for IPsec communication. It
can be done by using manual or automated configuration.

Note: router starts establishing tunnel when data from router to remote site over tunnel is sent. For automatic
tunnel establishment used tunnel Keep Alive feature.

Field name Value Explanation

1. Enable Enabled/Disabled Check box to enable IPSec.

11. Host A host address to which ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) echo
requests will be send
12. Ping period (sec) Send ICMP echo request every x seconds. Range [0-999999]

Phase 1 and Phase 2 must be configured accordingly to the IPSec server configuration, thus algorithms,
authentication and lifetimes of each phase must be identical.

Field name Value Explanation

1. Encryption DES, 3DES, AES 128, AES 192, AES256 The encryption algorithm must match with another
algorithm incoming connection to establish IPSec
2. Authentication MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 The authentication algorithm must match with another
incoming connection to establish IPSec
3. Hash algorthm MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 The hash algorithm must match with another incoming
connection to establish IPSec

MODP2048, MODP3072, MODP4096 incoming connection to establish IPSec
4. PFS group MODP768, MODP1024, MODP1536, The PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) group must match with
MODP2048, MODP3072, MODP4096, another incoming connection to establish IPSec
No PFS
5. Lifetime Hours, Minutes, Seconds The time duration for phase

92
8.5.3 GRE Tunnel
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation RFC2784) is a solution for tunneling RFC1812 private address-space traffic
over an intermediate TCP/IP network such as the Internet. GRE tunneling does not use encryption it simply encapsulates
data and sends it over the WAN.

In the example network diagram two distant networks LAN1 and LAN2 are connected.

8.5.4 PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows corporations to
extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a
wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area
communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private
network (VPN).

10 Device Recovery
The following section describes available options for recovery of malfunctioning device. Usually device can
become unreachable due to power failure during firmware upgrade or if its core files were wrongly modified in the file
system. Teltonika’s routers offer several options for recovering from these situations.

10.1 Reset button

Reset button is located on the back panel of the device. Reset button has several functions:

Reboot the device. After the device has started and if the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds the device
will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with green connection
status LED.
Reset to defaults. After the device has started if the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds the device will
reset all user changes to factory defaults and reboot. To help user to determine how long the reset button should be
pressed, signal strength LEDs indicates the elapsed time. All 5 lit LEDs means that 5 seconds have passed and reset
button can be released. Start of the reset to defaults will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together
with red connection status LED. SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after reset to
defaults.

10.2 Bootloader’s WebUI

Bootloader also provides a way to recover the router functionality when the firmware is damaged. To make it
easier to use bootloader has its own webserver that can be accessed with any web browser.

Procedure for starting bootloader’s webserver:

Automatically. It happens when bootloader does not detect master firmware. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs
indicate that bootloader’s webserver has started.

Manually. Bootloader’s webserver can be requested by holding reset button for 3 seconds while powering the
device on. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs indicates that bootloader’s webserver has started.

Bootloader’s WebUI can be accessed by typing this address in the web browser:

http://192.168.1.1/index.html

Note: it may be necessary to clear web browser’s cache and to use incognito/anonymous window to access
bootloader’s WebUI.

11 Glossary
WAN – Wide Area Network is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links
across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). Here we use the term WAN to mean the external network that
the router uses to reach the internet.

LAN – A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a
home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.

DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate
with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP
eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected
to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.

ETHERNET CABLE – Refers to the CAT5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector.

AP – Access point. An access point is any device that provides wireless connectivity for wireless clients. In this
case, when you enable Wi-Fi on your router, your router becomes an access point.

DNS – Domain Name System. A server that translates names such as www.google.lt to their respective IPs. In
order for your computer or router to communicate with some external server it needs to know it’s IP, its name
“www.something.com” just won’t do. There are special servers set in place that perform this specific task of resolving
names into IPs, called Domain Name servers. If you have no DNS specified you can still browse the web, provided that
you know the IP of the website you are trying to reach.

ARP – Short for Adress Resolution Protocol a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical
address (called a DLC address), such as an Ethernet address.

PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to
the internet through a common broadband medium, such as DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.

DSL – digital subscriber line - it is a family of technologies that provide internet access by transmitting digital data
using a local telephone network which uses the public switched telephone network.

NAT – network address translation – an internet standard that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set
of IP addresses for internet traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic.

LCP – Link Control Protocol – a protocol that is part of the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). The LCP checks the
identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the peer device, determines the acceptable packet size for
transmission, searches for errors in configuration and can terminate the link if the parameters are not satisfied.

BOOTP – Bootstrap Protocol – an internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP
address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.

TCP – Transmission Control Protocol – one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol
deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees
delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

144
 TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol – scrambles the keys using hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-
checking feature, ensure that the keys haven’t been tampered with.

CCMP – Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol – encryption protocol
designed for Wireless LAN products that implement the standards of the IEEE 802.11i amendment to the original
IEEE802.11 standard. CCMP is an enchanted data cryptographic encapsulation designed for data confidentiality and
based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC (CCM) of the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) standard.

MAC – Media Access Control. Hardware address which uniquely identifies each node of the network. In IEEE 802
networks, the Data Link Control (DCL) layer of the PSO Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link
Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.
Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.

DMZ – Demilitarized Zone – a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as
a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public internet.

UDP – User Datagram Protocol – a connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IP networks. Provides
very few error recovery services, offering instead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over IP network.

VPN – Virtual Private Network – a network that is constructed by using public wires — usually the Internet — to
connect to a private network, such as a company's internal network.

VRRP – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for one
or more virtual router(s) to the VRRP router(s) on a LAN, allow several routers on a multiaccess link to utilize the same
virtual IP address.

GRE Tunnel – Generic Routing Encapsulation - a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can
encapsulate a wide variety of network layerprotocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol
internetwork.

PPPD – Point to Point Protocol Daemon – it is used to manage network connections between two nodes on Unix-
likeoperating systems. It is configured using command-line arguments and configuration files.

SSH – Secure Shell - a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote
machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications
over insecure channels.

VRRPD – Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol – it is designed to eliminate the single point of failure associated
with statically routed networks by automatically providing failover using multiple LAN paths through alternate routers.

SNMP – Simple Network Management Protocol - a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works
by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of a network.
