Primary DNS/Second DNS
It is the domain name decoding server address, and default situation (blank) is
obtained from ISP when gateway dial-up is made. If customer has stable DNS server, it
can input customer stable DNS server address, but we suggest that it is better to
obtain from ISP when gateway dial-up is made.
Note:
1. Make sure all IPs connected to equipment are in the same Subnet Mask with gateway.
2. When multi units work in the same LAN, MAC address will restore to default setting after “load default setting”. It is easy to
make MAC address conflict with other equipment. So please revise MAC address.
3. If users input DNS server address, after dialing, please check whether DNS used by gateway can decode domain name.

Description
Rule 1: PING Mode
Wireless gateway checks destination IP address through PING (ICMP) packet
periodically. When the referenced destination IP address device doesn’t
respond to PING (ICMP), wireless gateway considers communication line is
disconnected already, and it will release the original link, then dial-up again
automatically, till communication link is smooth. So please make sure the
selected IP server address is stable and on; otherwise, gateway will be judged
to be off-line, and make gateway on-line and off-line frequently.
Note: The selected destination IP address server is allowed to have PING; if
not allowed, the destination IP address server doesn’t respond to PING, and
thus the gateway will be considered to be off-line, and make gateway online
4.7 Keep Alive
Keeping Online function is used to check wireless gateway online status, this function checks periodically and automatically
data channel between gateway and wireless network whether normal or not. If it is found to be off-line, software will re-dial
automatically and intelligently, so that the device can always be online to make sure data channel smooth.
Wireless gateway supplies 4 kinds of online checking modes; customer can select one or more kinds. By default, Rule2 and
Rule3 are used.
Customer inputs stable “destination IP address” and “destination address port ”and regards them as the reference of online
maintenance. Please kindly noted the input “destination IP address” and “destination address port” must be stable, because
wireless gate is referred to this server; if this server is not stable, it will cause wireless network off-line frequently. When multi
rules are used, only when all selected rules find communication line is obstructed, wireless gateway can judge whether device is
off-line or not and restart connection automatically

and off-line frequently.
Rule 2: TCP Mode
Wireless gateway checks destination IP address and port through TCP syn
packet periodically. When the destination IP address device doesn’t respond,
wireless gateway considers communication line is disconnected already.
Wireless gateway will release the original link, then dial-up again
automatically, till communication link is smooth. So please make sure the
selected destination address IP server is stable and on; otherwise, gateway is
considered to be off-line, and make gateway on and off-line frequently.
Note: The selected destination IP address server is checking relevant port. If
the selected destination IP address server is not stable or off or without
checking relevant port, gateway is considered to be off-line, and make
gateway on and off-line frequently.
Rule 3: Data Mode
In a certain period of time, if the gateway did not receive any data package,
then it is believed that the communication link disconnected, and it will dial-up
again till communication link is smooth
Rule 4: LCP Mode
Gateway checks online through LCP. In a certain period of time, if gateway did
not receive package, it will restart.
Please kindly note that the selected destination IP address server supports
PAP/CHAP verification function in order to use LCP checking. If the selected
destination IP address server is not stable or off or without supporting
PAP/CHAP verification function, gateway will consider dropped, and then it will
be on-line and off-line frequently.
Note:
1. Make sure to select one kind of maintenance in online mode; otherwise,
gateway can’t restart after dropped.
2. The input destination address needs to be stable and supply corresponding
services.
3. Keeping Online default is for public network; it needs to re-configure in
special network to avoid dropping frequently.
No Reboot
While the gateway does not connect to Internet, the watchdog function will
think the connection is disconnected and will continue to restart. You can
enable “No Reboot” to disable the watchdog funciton.

4、Explanation and Instruction
After this rule is built, gateway will start IP address filtering function. According to running rule “Receive packet matching
following rule”, gateway forbids all data packet to go through, but only allows protocol data packets (select “ALL”) from WAN
“121.204.201.13”(select “IN/OUT” direction) to go through PPPO interface (select PPP0 interface). Usually this rule shields
invalid IP address to go through gateway, can reduce data flow, or as bank application, can shield other IP addresses to
access to bank IP address to realize filtering function and reduce data flow.

Example 1:
1、If select “setup MAC address filtering”
2、Running rule select: “discard packet matching following fule ”
3、Input“00:00:23:34:45:56”in MAC.
So gateway will discard all data packets of the MAC address “00:00:23:34:45:56”, meanwhile it permits all data packets
whose MAC address is not“00:00:23:34:45:56” to go through.
Example 2:
1、If select “setup MAC address filtering”
2、Running rule select: “receive packet matching following fule”
3、Input“00:00:23:34:45:56”in MAC.
So gateway only receives data packet whose MAC address is “00:00:23:34:45:56”, and discard all other data packets
whose MAC address is not “00:00:23:34:45:56”.

192.168.1.2 is the gateway Ethernet LAN1-4 IP address.
110.91.69.133 is the ISP assigned PPP0 IP address when gateway dial-up is made.
192.168.2.8 is the occurred PPP1 tunnel IP address when gateway connects with server to build VPN tunnel.
172.16.0.1 is the VPN server ETH0 IP.
121.204.199.230 is the VPN server public IP.
192.168.2.6 is the occurred tunnel0 IP address when VPN server and wireless gateway built the VPN tunnel.
If computer with IP 172.16.0.2 wants to visit computer with IP 192.168.3.2, it needs to add one routing on VPN server to
visit 192.168.3.0/24 network. As for this adding step, please read our routing configuration user manual or contact with our
technical engineers. After adding server gateway, it needs to add two routing on wireless gateway at the same time. One
routing is from WAN data packets to 192.168.3.0/24 computer, the other routing is from 192.168.3.0/24 LAN computer to
W172.16.0.0/16. The following is the introduction of gateway added configuration. Please add the following rules from
“routing” of gateway under “advanced configuration”.

192.168.3.0 connects with gateway LAN1-4, so interface needs to select br0. This function is to send data of gateway
destination IP address 192.168.3.0/24 from outside to br0 interface to realize sending data packet to 192.168.3.0.
Figure 5-3-4 Modify Route
This routing function is: data packet sent to wireless gateway, if destination IP address is 172.16.0.0/24; it transmits this
data packet to PPP1 interface, meanwhile, this data packet gateway IP is 192.168.2.6. So through this routing, wireless
gateway sends data packet to PPP1 directly when receiving data packet of destination IP 172.16.0.0/24, then arrive server
192.168.2.6, then transmits data packet to 172.16.0.0/24 through server’s router to finish all routing work of data packets.

Local push function is mainly used for pushing advertisement page link when using gateways access to the Internet. The users
can define the advertising pages link, advertising push polling time and the time-frequency. Turn on this feature when users are
in a networked process. The system will push "the first ad pages", then according to the ads URL list and frequency,when there
are users clicking in an Internet,ad pages will be pushed. When reaching the polling time ad, it will push the "end advertising
pages". The system starts to count polling time again, and do the cycles to push ads.

Frame Interval
Default is 200ms.
Data that DTU receive packet rules as follows:
1. When serial port receives data whose length is more than appointed buffer 2048
bytes, DTU will packet the receiving data and send to center server.
2. Within the configured “frame interval” time, DTU equipment hasn’t received any serial
port data, DTU will packet the received data and send to center server.
“Frame interval” time is set too small; it can result one data packet to be separated into
more data packets. If set is too large, it can result in two or more data packets to be
packed into one data packet and send to center server together. If it adopts our default
value, one packet will be separated into more or more packets or it will be packed into
one. If customer can’t calculate the suitable value, please contact our technical support
engineer.
Times of reconnection
Times of DTU are to connect with center server, and the default is 3. If trial times are
more than configured “times of reconnection”, gateway will automatically power down
