The various routing configurations will be displayed in the IP mapping table at the bottom of the screen.
DMZ Support DMZ: When set to Enable, will allow the modem to use DMZ routes using the address set in the Destination IP Address. When set to Disable, will shut down the DMZ functionality. This can be used when one Ethernet device per modem is used. DMZ will forward all ports to the device except for the ports already specified, see below: Web server port, remote administration incoming port, SSH port, Telnet port, SNMP port and incoming serial PAD ports, and any ports listed in the IP mapping table.
Inbound Port: This sets the external port number for incoming requests. To avoid conflict, never reuse any of the same ports as described in the DMZ section above. Destination IP Address: The IP address of the tethered device for which the port specified in the inbound port field will be forwarded to. Destination Port: This sets the LAN port number used when forwarding to the destination IP address.
SECTION 10 – DYNAMIC DNS Selecting Router from the left menu bar, then the Dynamic DNS tab, brings up the dynamic DNS configuration page. Dynamic DNS is a system which allows the domain name data of a computer with a varying (dynamic) IP addresses held in a name server to be updated in real time in order to make it possible to establish connections to that machine without the need to track the actual IP address themselves at all times.
Port Number: The port number for the internet address given above. Default is 8245. User Account: The username used when setting up the account. Used to login to the Dynamic DNS service. User Password: The password associated with the username account. Hostname: The hostname identified to the Dynamic DNS service. For example http:/test.myserver.com. Put in the browser to connect to the unit remotely instead of the WAN IP address.
SECTION 11 – ROUTER SETTINGS Selecting Router from the left menu bar, then the Static Routes tab, brings up the static routing configuration page. Static route tables are created from the Routing screen and appear at the bottom. Static Routing refers to a manual method used to set up routing between networks.

Baud Rate: Sets the baud rate of the serial port. Settings may range from 300 to 115,200 bits per second. The default baud rate is 115,200 bps. Inter Character Timeout: Sets the interval between packets being sent, no matter the size, from 1 to 65,535 ms. DTR: Defines the Data Terminal Ready behavior. AT&D0: Ignore DTR. AT&D1: If in the Online Data State, upon an on-to-off transition of DTR, the modem enters Online Command State and issues an OK result code; the call remains connected.
DSR: Sets the Data Set Ready to Always On, On When Available, On When Connected or Always Off. The DSR parameter determines how the modem controls the state of the Data Set Ready circuit. Always On: DSR is always on. On When Available: DSR is on when the RF signal present and phone registered on network. On When Connected: DSR is on when connected to CDMA. Always Off: DSR is always off. The default value is Always Off.
Incoming Friendly IP Address: This specifies a remote IP address that is allowed to access the modem. A wildcard IP address of 0.0.0.0 allows all remote IP address to access the modem. Incoming Port: Sets the port number used to forward incoming traffic to the serial port. Inbound traffic with this port will be forwarded to the serial port in client mode. Outgoing Port: Sets the port number used to send outbound traffic from the serial port.
Timeout: A new client will be accepted only after a specified timeout. The duration of the timeout is specified by the Inactivity timeout, or the Hard timeout, or a combination of both. The default value is New Client. Server Inactivity Timeout: Time after which the current connection with Client will be terminated without warning. This time starts over again each time the Client sends data to the server. This parameter is ignored if the session closes on New Client.
SECTION 15 – INTERNAL SERIAL PORT Selecting Serial from the left menu bar, then the Internal Serial tab, brings up the serial port and PAD settings page. The Internal Serial screen is used to configure the internal RS232 Serial Port parameters and Packet Assembler and Dis-assembler (PAD) functionality.
