CHAPTER 1

Introducing the VPN2S

1.1 Overview

The VPN2S is a VPN firewall with Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) gateway. It has two USB ports that can be used

for file sharing or using a 3G/4G dongle for cellular WAN (Internet) backup connections.

Features

• Four GbE Ports for LAN Connection

• Firewall with Secure Network Management

• Secure Access via VPN (IPsec, PPTP, L2TP)

Only use firmware for your VPN2S’s specific model. Refer to the label on

the bottom of your VPN2S.

1.2 Ways to Manage the VPN2S

Use any of the following methods to manage the VPN2S.

• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the VPN2S using a (supported)

web browser.

• TR-069. VPN2S uses an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device via TR-069.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the VPN2S

Do the following things regularly to make the VPN2S more secure and to manage the VPN2S more

effectively.

• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of

characters, such as numbers and letters. The password must have 6-64 printable characters [0-9][a-z]

[A-Z][!@#$%*].

• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working

configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your

password, you will have to reset the VPN2S to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier

configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VPN2S. You could simply restore your

last configuration.

VPN2S User’s Guide

1.4 Applications for the VPN2S

Here are some example uses for which the VPN2S is well suited.

1.4.1 Internet Access

As a VPN firewall your VPN2S has multiple WAN interfaces, including, 3G/4G and Gigabit Ethernet to

share the network traffic load. You can configure multiple WAN load balance and failover rules to

distribute traffic amongst the different interfaces.

If you prefer not to use a DSL line or you already have a broadband modem/router in your network, use

the Ethernet WAN port. You can also use a 3G/4G dongle for cellular backup WAN (Internet)

connections.

Note: If you connect all WAN ports the priority order will be Ethernet WAN port, and USB port.

Computers can connect to the VPN2S’s LAN ports.

Figure 1 VPN2S’s Internet Access Application

Figure 2 VPN2S’s Internet Access Application: 3G/4G WAN Backup

You can also configure IP filtering on the VPN2S for secure Internet access. When the IP filter is on, all

incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from your

VPN2S

Chapter 1 Introducing the VPN2S

network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely

browse the Internet and download files.

1.4.2 VPN2S’s USB Support

Use the USB port for file sharing or insert a 3G/4G dongle for cellular backup WAN (Internet) connections.

File Sharing

Use the USB port (built-in USB 2.0) to share files on USB memory sticks or USB hard drives (B). Use FTP to

access the files on the USB device.

Figure 3 USB File Sharing Application

1.5 LEDs (Lights)

This section describes the LEDs on the VPN2S.

The following figure shows the front and rear panels of the VPN2S.

1.6 The RESET Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the web configurator, you will need to use the RESET

button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will

lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to “1234”.

1 Make sure the POWER LED is on (not blinking).

2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for five seconds or until the

POWER LED begins to blink and then release it. When the POWER LED begins to blink, the defaults have

been restored and the device restarts.

CHAPTER 2

The Web Configurator

2.1 Overview

The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device setup and

management via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 8.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later

versions, Chrome, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768

pixels.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in

Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

• JavaScript (enabled by default).

• Java permissions (enabled by default).

2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator

1 Make sure your VPN2S hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide).

2 Launch your web browser. If the VPN2S does not automatically re-direct you to the login screen, go to

http://192.168.1.1.

3 A password screen displays. To access the administrative web configurator and manage the VPN2S,

type the default username admin and password 1234 in the password screen and click Login. If

advanced account security is enabled the number of dots that appears when you type the password

changes randomly to prevent anyone watching the password field from knowing the length of your

password. If you have changed the password, enter your password and click Login.

4 The following screen displays if you have not yet changed your password from the default. Enter a new

password, retype it to confirm and click Apply. After changing the password your VPN2S will log out

automatically. so you can log in with your new password.

5 The Privacy Agreement screen appears automatically after login. Click on the check box to agree to all

the terms and click Accept.

6 The Wizard appears after the Privacy Agreement screen. Use the Wizard to configure VPN2S’s basic

settings.

7 The Dashboard page appears after the Wizard set up, here you can view the VPN2S’s interface and
