and, if not used in accordance with instructions, can cause harmful
radiation to radio communication. Use only the supplied or an approved
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
impair call quality, damage the device, or result in violation of RF
exposure regulations.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If the equipment does cause harmful interference
in radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Re-orient or relocate the receiving radio or TV antenna
 Increase the separation distance between the equipment and

the receiver

 Contact Maxon Australia Technical Support for assistance.

Notes The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Maxon Australia could void the warrantee.

Datamax is configured via a web interface. In order to access the
Datamax web interface you will need a computer with a spare Ethernet
LAN port. The LAN card configuration should have the Internet Protocol
TCP/IP set to obtain an IP Address automatically and obtain DNS server
address automatically.
To check these settings go to your LAN adaptor properties and check
your Interment Protocol TCP/IP settings, it should look as follows:

Connection Steps:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable supplied with your router to your

computer Ethernet LAN port

2. Your computer will get an IP address from the Datamax DHCP

range automatically.

Firewall

NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation or Network Address Translator) is the
translation of an Internet Protocol address (IP address) used within one
network to a different IP address known within another network. One
network is designated as the inside network and the other, as the outside
network. Typically, a company maps its local inside network addresses to
one or more global outside IP addresses and un-maps the global IP
addresses on incoming packets back into local IP addresses. This helps
ensure security since each outgoing or incoming request must go
through a translation process that also offers the opportunity to qualify or
authenticate the request or match it to a previous request. NAT also
conserves on the number of global IP addresses that a company needs
and it lets the company use a single IP address in its communication with
the world.

Adding a NAT item

Service Name:

The NAT entry name

Service Type:

The protocol used TCP or UDP or BOTH

Outside Starting Port:

Deleting a NAT item

To delete a NAT item, you should select the item and press the “Delete
Item” button.

DMZ

DMZ page allows one IP address within the LAN to be exposed to the
internet without allowing unauthorized access to the local private
network. All traffic addressed to Datamax WAN IP will be passed to this
host.

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS is a method/protocol/network service that provides the
capability for a networked device, such as a router or computer system
using the Internet Protocol Suite, to notify a Domain Name System (DNS)
name server to change, in real time, the active DNS configuration of its
configured hostnames, addresses or other information

Page - 38 -

To use this feature your carrier must provide you with a public dynamic IP
address. You will also need to sign up with a DynamicDNS service
provider.
Every time the router connects to the network, it will update its Dynamic
DNS host configuration as per the supplied settings.
