Primary cellular antenna connections are SMA female connectors and must be used with antenna with SMA male connectors. When using a direct mount or rubber duck antenna, choose the antenna specific to your band requirements. Mounting options and cable lengths are user’s choice and application specific.

The diversity antenna connector, labeled DIV, can be used for a Diversity antenna. The diversity port supports Cellular (850 MHz) and PCS (1900 MHz) bands. Connect a dual band cellular antenna to this port to implement RX diversity on the unit and increase receive sensitivity on the cellular network.

For mobile models equipped with Wi-Fi, the antenna connector labeled AUX is an RP-SMA female connector for 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi that facilitates 802.11 b and 802.11 g wireless networks.

1.8 P OWER CABLE PINOUT

Depending on the version (fixed or mobile) of Vanguard router ordered, different power cables are provided. The mobile version ships with a 22-foot power cable that requires a fuse (included). The fixed version ships with a 6 foot DC three-wire power cable that does not contain a fuse. An AC power adapter is available as an optional accessory. Regardless of the cable length, the pinout is the same and only the color of the ground wire differs (blue in the mobile wire harness, and black in the fixed).

When installed for a fixed application or if the Ignition-sense line is not required in a mobile application, the ignition sense line (white wire) should be shorted to VIN / V

(red wire).

Batt

The fuse provided inside the fuse-holder that is part of the wiring for mobile applications is a 2 Amp fast-acting fuse (EF2AL250VP).

Network Time

The Vanguard 3000 is capable of maintaining the current time (UTC) by synchronizing itself with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server. You may specify a server domain name or IP address and how frequently the router should synchronize with the server. The router must have DNS access and a route to the internet to synchronize with the supplied default ntp.org server – this is not always true on private cellular networks. The router does not save or track time while powered off, so time will be inaccurate until the router can connect with the server, which it does on startup (in addition to synchronizing according the Update Frequency specified).

 NTP Client

Disabled by default. Select Enable to activate the router’s NTP client to synchronize with the specified server.

 NTP Server

Carrier

 Active Carrier

Select which carrier, Primary or Secondary, and credentials to use for carrier connection. Select Automatic to have the modem choose a carrier based on conditions defined in the Automatic Carrier Switching section at the bottom of the page.

 Primary Carrier

Select the appropriate carrier with cellular protocol (GSM/CDMA) from this list that will serve as the primary carrier. The Primary Carrier selected cannot be the same as the Secondary Carrier. GSM carriers require that a proper SIM be installed.

 Secondary Carrier

Select the appropriate carrier with cellular protocol (GSM/CDMA) from this list that will serve as the secondary carrier. This selection cannot be the same as the Primary Carrier. GSM carriers require that a valid SIM be installed.

 Data Session Type

Select the cellular technology used. Options include 2G, 3G or Auto.

 Auto Connect

Select Enable (the default and recommended setting), and the modem will automatically dial the connection

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 23

upon startup, and to attempt reconnection if the connection is lost. Select Disable to prevent the modem from automatically connecting upon startup. When disabled, a button will be displayed that can be used to manually connect or disconnect the wireless WAN service.

 LCP Error Count/LCP Echo Interval

These options let you define the acceptable error level above which the data link with the cellular carrier is broken. Link Control Protocol (LCP) echoes are sent at the specified interval to test the link, and the link is considered broken when the error count exceeds the given number. Select 0 to disable the LCP echo message.

If Auto Connect is enabled and the modem fails to connect, the unit will attempt to reconnect two times and then make an attempt at one minute, at two minutes, at eight minutes, and then every fifteen minutes until successful.

Primary Carrier / Secondary Carrier (details)

 Carrier APN

This field is visible only when the corresponding carrier supports GSM. Enter the APN provided by the carrier.

 Username

If your cellular provider requires a user name, enter it here. Leave blank if not required.

 Password

If your cellular provider requires a password, enter it here. Leave blank if not required.

 Authentication Protocols

Select the authentication protocol used. If no protocol is selected (the default and recommended setting for most applications), the Vanguard 3000 will try to negotiate a protocol with the cell tower if the cellular carrier allows negotiation. If either protocol (PAP, CHAP or both) is chosen, then the Vanguard will only offer to connect using the specified protocol(s), where PAP is Password Authentication Protocol and CHAP is Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol.

― PAP: The Password Authentication Protocol is a pre-shared key method for authenticating with the

cellular provider.

― CHAP: The Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol is a two-way authentication scheme

between router and provider.

 Note: Normally the cell provider does not require a username or password, in which case leave the User and

Password fields blank. An issue has been identified with SIMs from two carriers (AT&T and Bell Mobility) for special applications where a username and password are required (which is uncommon but possible). In this case, it is necessary to select either PAP or CHAP authentication to establish a data connection.

Automatic Carrier Switching

Stay on Primary until

Settings in this section allow you to set parameters so that if the modem is unable to connect to the primary carrier, sees a low received signal strength or ECIO, or loses connection with the primary carrier for the number of minutes you specify, the modem will switch to the secondary carrier. The switchover from primary to secondary, or vice versa, will take 30-60 seconds, during which the device will not have network connectivity.

3.2 .2 SETTINGS

The carrier settings displayed on this page differ depending on which carrier is being used at the time.

One of the key features of GSM is the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), commonly known as SIM card. The SIM is a detachable smart card containing the user’s subscription information. This allows the user to retain his or her information when switching handsets or wireless devices, independent of which handset or wireless device they are using. The SIM has a security feature which, when enabled, requires the user to enter a valid PIN before the modem will connect to the cellular network.

Figure 21: Cell Connection —GSM Settings

 SIM Status (status text)

SIM ACCEPTED displays when a valid SIM card is inserted properly in the modem. NO SIM displays if the SIM card is invalid, missing, or installed incorrectly.

 PIN Status (status text)

PIN DISABLED displays when PIN security is not enabled. PIN ENABLED displays when PIN security is enabled. PIN ACCEPTED displays when PIN security is enabled and a valid PIN is entered.

 Attempts Left

Indicates the number of attempts remaining to correctly enter the PIN before the SIM is locked. Maximum number of attempts is three. If SIM is locked, you must contact your cellular carrier to unlock.

PIN Settings

The Pin Settings section enables you to enter a PIN, change a pin, enable PIN security or disable it. Instructions for the available actions and associated options displayed in this section of the Web page change depending on the SIM status, whether a PIN has been entered, and whether PIN security is enabled or disabled. The default setting for PIN security is disabled and you will see the status message “Action: PIN is disabled. To change it, it must be enabled first.”

Note: Before enabling PIN security, make sure you have the PIN provided by your wireless carrier.

To enter the PIN provided by your wireless carrier (for a new modem)

Change Enable PIN from No to Yes, enter your carrier-provided PIN into the Current PIN field, and click Save to access the PIN security settings.

To change your PIN or change PIN security settings (enable or disable PIN security, change whether PIN is remembered, or change your PIN) Change PIN from Yes to No, enter your PIN into the Current PIN field, and click Save to access the PIN security settings.

To Change the PIN Status

Once the PIN has been entered successfully, the status message displays “Action: You may change only one of the following three options at a time,” and three options are presented.

field, and enter your new PIN again in the Confirm New PIN field. (The PIN you enter in the New PIN and

Confirm New PIN fields must match exactly.)

Note: If you enter too many or too few characters, or characters that are not allowed in a PIN, rules for valid

PIN length and character selection are displayed.

- To not change your PIN, select No.

- Click Save to make your selection take effect.

When you have made and saved your change successfully, the PIN Status text changes accordingly, reflecting the change you made.

Provisioning (CDMA only)

When the Active Carrier supports CDMA, provision fields are enabled. You can select a specific band of operation and set various settings associated with provisioning. When a new modem is powered up for the first time, most of the provisioning fields are blank or the values need to be

updated. The modem is usually shipped with the radio ready to be provisioned on a cellular carrier’s network. Features called Over-The-Air Service Provisioning (OATSP) and Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) are supported, which allow the cellular providers to program the modem with specific information to activate the account.

3.2 .3 DY NAMIC DNS

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. A number of providers offer Dynamic DNS services ("DDNS"), free or for a charge. For example, a free service provided by NO-IP allows users to setup between one and five host names on a domain name provided by NO-IP. No-IP is the default DNS service.

Figure 24: Cell Connection — Dynamic DNS

 Dynamic DNS

Selecting Enable will allow the modem to provide the selected service dynamic IP address information. Selecting Disable will stop any IP information from being sent to the selected service.

 DDNS Service

The internet address to communicate the Dynamic DNS information to. Default is ” – custom –“ which exposes the Custom URL field.

 Custom URL

DDNS Services not in the dropdown list can often still be supported by use of a custom URL specified by the service provider. Keywords in [square brackets] are replaced by their actual values. Note: If the default Custom URL, which references NO-IP, fails to update, try the URL: http://[USERNAME]:[PASSWORD]@dynupdate.noip.com/nic/update?hostname=[DOMAIN]&myip=[IP]

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 28

 Username

The username used when setting up the account. Used to login to the Dynamic DNS service.

 Password

 Interval

Time (in minutes) to wait between pings.

 Fail Limit

Number of ping failures to accept before resetting the modem.

WAN Data Usage Statistics

This section tracks the data received from and transmitted to the cellular network. This is a tool that may be used to estimate network usage. These totals are tracked by the router. Your carrier maintains separate statistics from which your billing is determined. One way to use this tool is to track usage over a fairly short period of typical usage. The total then can be extrapolated to estimate longer time periods. This router updates these statistics once approximately every 30 seconds. Press the Clear button to reset the totals to 0.

 Rx Bytes

The total number of bytes received by the modem from the cell network. All statistics will be cleared automatically if this count exceeds 1 billion (1,000,000,000).

 Rx Packets

The total number of TCP and UDP packets received by the modem from the cell network.

 Rx Errors

The number of corrupted TCP and UDP packets received by the modem from the cell network.

 Rx Packets Dropped

The number of TCP and UDP packets received by the modem from the cell network that were not accepted. This may occur due to memory or throughput problems.

 Tx Bytes

The total number of bytes transmitted by the modem to the cell network. All statistics will be cleared automatically if this count exceeds 1 billion (1,000,000,000).

 Tx Packets

The total number of TCP and UDP packets transmitted by the modem to the cell network.

 Tx Errors

The number of corrupted TCP and UDP packets received by the modem that were meant to be transmitted on the cell network.

 Tx Packets Dropped

Figure 27: LAN — LAN Settings

LAN Settings

 Ethernet IP Address

This sets the IP address of this device and is the address used to access the configuration pages. If the IP address changes you will have to re-enter the new IP address in your browser to access the configuration pages. The default IP is 192.168.1.50 and should be changed for security purposes.

 Ethernet Subnet Mask

Sets the subnet mask for the LAN side of the modem to the device.

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 31

Important: The LAN subnet must not overlap with the WLAN subnet defined in the Access Point tab of the WLAN page.

 LAN Masquerade

When enabled, the Vanguard masquerades all Ethernet traffic to the LAN, making all WAN traffic appear as if it originated from the Vanguard 3000. This can be useful in applications where less-capable equipment on the local LAN cannot cope with connections from multiple Host IP addresses.

 Bind Services to Eth IP

UDP datagrams or TCP sockets from services inside the Vanguard (Serial, IO, GPS) normally appear to come from the interface (LAN or WAN) closest to the destination. Enable this option to force the source address to be the LAN Ethernet IP address. This can be useful if packets are being sent through a VPN tunnel. Note that outside of a tunnel, NAT may still force the source address to be rewritten to the WAN address.

3.5 .3 IP FILT ERING

Figure 32: Router — IP Filtering

Add Custom IP Filters

You can define up to 20 IP filters. Each IP filter is identified by a unique number (from 1 to 20). Click Add to add the filter to the Custom IP Filters table. Once all filters have been added, click Save & Apply to save all changes.

An IP packet goes through the filtering logic:

1) An IP packet is received on one of the interfaces and is destined to the Vanguard unit

2) An IP packet is sent by the Vanguard unit

3) An IP packet is forwarded by the Vanguard unit.

The filtering logic is the following:

if exists(filter[1]) AND match(packet, filter[1]) then apply(action[1]) else if exists(filter[2]) AND match(packet, filter[2]) then apply(action[2]) else if exists(filter[3]) AND match(packet, filter[3]) then apply(action[3])…

else if exists(filter[20]) AND match(packet, filter[20]) then apply(action[20]) else process packet normally.

Where:

exists(filter[n]) -> The user as defined filter number n. match(packet, filter[n]) -> The IP packet matches filter number n. apply(action[n]) -> The action identified in filter number n.

Each criteria has an Any radio-button that matches all values for that criteria.

Each criteria has an Exclude check-box that inverts the sense of the match.

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 41

 Enabled

Each IP filter can be independently enabled or disabled.

 Source IP Address

The source IP Address or subnet that will satisfy this criteria.

If the Exclude field is checked, it means that in order for the packet to match with this criteria, it must NOT have this source IP address (or NOT be in the given source IP address range).

 Destination IP Address

The destination IP Address or subnet that will match.

If the Exclude field is checked, it means that for the packet to match this filter, it must NOT have this destination IP address (or NOT be in the given destination IP address range).

 Protocol

The protocol number that will satisfy this criteria.

If the Exclude field is checked, it means that for the packet to match this filter, it must NOT have this protocol number.

 Source Port

The source port number that will satisfy this criteria. This field is only enabled when the Protocol is TCP(6) or UDP(17).

If the Exclude field is checked, it means that for the packet to match this filter, it must NOT have this source port number (or NOT be in the given source port number range).

 Destination Port

The destination port number that will satisfy this criteria. This field is only enabled when the Protocol is TCP(6) or UDP(17).

If the Exclude field is checked, it means that for the packet to match this filter, it must NOT have this destination port number (or NOT be in the given destination port number range).

 Direction

The direction corresponds to the path taken by the IP packet inside the Vanguard unit.

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 42

4 IP ADDR ESSIN G

4.1 O VERVIEW

When Vanguard cellular router is connected to a cellular carrier, it will always have at least two IP addresses. The first is the local area network (LAN) address. The Vanguard can be accessed through either the LAN 1 or LAN 2 Ethernet connectors on the front panel using this IP address. This IP address is user configurable and is saved locally in the Vanguard. The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.50 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

The second Vanguard IP address is assigned by the cellular carrier each time the Vanguard connects to the cellular network. Often, this IP address is publicly accessible from the Internet, however in some instances the cellular carrier may assign an IP address that is protected by firewalls. When a publicly accessible IP address is assigned, data flows can be initiated from either the Vanguard or from the Internet. When an IP address is protected by cellular firewalls, data flows can only be initiated from the Vanguard. In either case, after a data flow has been established, data is free to move in both directions.

For mobile models equipped with Wi-Fi, the Vanguard will be assigned a third IP address on the Wi-Fi wireless network.

4.2 IP ADD RESSI NG TU TORIAL

The default LAN subnet of the Vanguard consists of addresses from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255. The first and last IP addresses of a subnet are always reserved, no matter what the subnet size is. The first IP address in the subnet is the Network ID. The last IP address in the subnet is the Broadcast Address.

The example below illustrates a sample Vanguard network. The subnet consists of IP addresses ranging from

192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. This is sometimes written in shorthand notation as:

192.168.1.50/24 since the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 contains 24 ones then 8 zeros when it is converted to binary.

The first address 192.168.1.0 is reserved for the Network ID. The last address 192.168.1.255 is reserved for the broadcast address. There are 254 valid IP addresses that may be assigned to hosts on the LAN network.

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 86

Ethernet Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0

Network ID 192.168.1.0 (reserved – first IP address in subnet)

Broadcast Address 192.168.1.255 (reserved – last IP address in subnet)

Vanguard 3000 192.168.1.50/24

PLC/RTU #1 192.168.1.10/24

Computer #1 192.168.1.125/24

By changing the subnet mask, the network can be made to include as many or as few IP addresses as desired. Ethernet devices can only talk directly to other devices that have IP addresses within the same IP subnet. For example, Computer #1 from the example above can only talk with locally connected devices that have IP addresses between

192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254. When Computer #1 wants to talk to another server on the Internet, it will send its data packet to the local gateway. In this case the local gateway is the Vanguard router. Since the Vanguard has two IP addresses (each IP address is on a separate subnet), it can forward the packet from the LAN network (192.168.1.0/24) to the cellular network. The packet will continue to be forwarded in a similar fashion, from subnet to subnet, until it reaches its final destination.

4.3 P RIVATE VER SUS PUBLIC IP ADDR ESSES

Certain address ranges in the in IPv4 address space have been reserved as private IP address. Private IP addresses can be used by anyone, without the need to register for an IP address assignment from the IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). However, private IP addresses are not routable on the Internet. Routers on the Internet will typically drop any packets that are destined for a private IP address. These addresses are reserved for local use only.

Common Private IP Address Ranges

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

Devices using Private IP addresses must have a router with NAT (network address translation) capability to access the Internet. By default, the Vanguard will perform the NAT function on all outgoing traffic. The Vanguard router will change the source IP address from the private IP of the local host to the Vanguard’s public IP address which was assigned by the cellular carrier. Since the outgoing packet has been modified, a remote server or website on the Internet will think the packet came directly from the Vanguard radio. It will reply back to the cellular IP address of the Vanguard. The Vanguard radio remembers which traffic flows have been established and routes the incoming return traffic back to the desired host device on the local area network.

4.4 P ORT FORWARD ING

NAT functionality is only useful for traffic flows that are initiated by the Vanguard or by a device that is physically connected to the Vanguard. Port forwarding can be enabled to allow remote devices connecting through the Internet to initiate traffic flows with a local device connected to a Vanguard router.

In the example configuration shown below, a host from the Internet can create either a TCP or UDP connection with the local host at 192.168.1.250 on port 7000 by sending a packet to the cellular IP address of the Vanguard at port

8010. When the Vanguard receives a packet destined for port 8010 it will look through the Port Forwarding table to see if a matching rule exists. It finds the rule that instructs it to forward this packet to port 7000 of IP address

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 87

192.168.1.250. The Vanguard then modifies the destination IP address and port number before forwarding the packet onto the local area network.

Figure 60: Port Forwarding Example

Port forwarding is useful for field applications that use polling that is initiated by a polling master. The port forwarding function allows the polling master to establish a data connection through the Internet. The incoming polling message is forwarded by the Vanguard to the appropriate PLC or RTU on the Vanguard’s local area network.

4.5 DMZ

Alternately, DMZ can be enabled on the Vanguard router. When DMZ is enabled, all traffic destined to the Vanguard’s cellular IP address that is received from the Internet is forwarded to the DMZ host. The IP address of the DMZ host is specified by the user. Using DMZ can eliminate the need to specify many individual port forwarding rules. However, by exposing all the ports on the local device, the local device may become more susceptible to attacks.

If specific Port Forwarding rules exist in the IP Mapping Table, they will take precedence over the DMZ host.

4.6 FRIENDLY IP ADDRE SS

Friendly IP addresses can be used with either port forwarding or DMZ to provide an additional layer of security. When Friendly IP addresses are used, the Vanguard will only forward packets to the LAN if the source IP address of the received packet matches either the specific IP address or range of IP addresses specified in the Friendly IP address field.

This feature can be disabled by entering 0.0.0.0 in the friendly IP address field. In this case, packets from any host on the Internet can be forwarded to the LAN when either DMZ or Port Forwarding is enabled.

5 IP SEC A N D VPN PASS -THROUG H DEP LOYME NT GUIDE

This chapter will help anyone who wants to build a secure IP network using IPsec and the CalAmp Vanguard 3000 Cellular Modem. Case #1: Vanguard Configured IPsec Client will demonstrate the Vanguard 3000 when used as an IPsec client. Case #2 Vanguard Configured to use a DMZ for VPN Pass-Through will show the Vanguard 3000 passing an IPsec connection from WAN to LAN. (VPN Pass-through).

5.1 BENEFITS OF IPSEC

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security Standard) is an industry driven standard that ensures confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of an IP network. IPsec is a key component of this standard-based, flexible solution for deploying a network-wide policy.

There are two significant benefits to IPsec compliance for our customers: enhanced security features and interoperability.

― Enhanced security features provide the most secure and comprehensive standard available today for

encryption and authentication.

The Vanguard IPsec encryption support: AES-128, AES-256 and 3DES. The Vanguard IPsec authentication support: MD5 and SHA1. All tunnels are created using the ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) protocol.

― Protocol interoperability means that an IPsec compliant device, such as the Vanguard 3000, will be

able to exchange keys and encrypted communications with another IPsec compliant product such as a CISCO router. IPSEC compliance ensures that these two different products can negotiate and maintain a secure communication with each other.

5.2 CONFIGURATI ON SU MMARY

The first case demonstrates configuring IPsec tunnels on the Vanguard 3000. The second example demonstrates configuring the Vanguard to use a DMZ for VPN pass-through between IPsec clients and a remote host over a router acting as a VPN server.

Detailed configuration examples are provided for each scenario.

Vanguard 3000 Multicarrier Cellular Data Modem & IP Router PN 134732-VG3000 Rev. D| Page 89

5.2 .1 CASE #1 : VAN GUARD CONFIGURED IPSEC CLIENT

Overview

IPsec is a security protocol that provides secured communication tunnels over IP. As you create IPsec tunnels through the Vanguard 3000 Web interface in the Security » IPsec tab, they will be displayed in the Tunnel Table at the bottom of the IPsec tab. All tunnels are created using the ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) Protocol.

The following figure depicts an IPsec tunnel between a Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) and Application Server.
