8.2.4 Brouter settings

The brouter function will initiate outgoing connections. This function is only available in PSTN + Dial Out mode

(Refer to section 8.2.2 – General – Modem settings and Dial IN/OUT.)

When a IP packet sent to the ED-20 have a IP Address that match a IP Address in the entry list, the ED-20 will send the connect message to the attached modem.This will result in an connection to another location and establishment of a PPP link.

Note! Since the ED-20 and the attached modems need some time to establish a modem connection and a PPP link,The IP packets sent before the PPP link is ready may be lost depending of the application used.

Brouter Mode

Enable or disable the brouter function with the radio buttons.

Note! The brouter function can only be enabled when the ED-20 is allowed to act as a PPP client. (Refer to section 8.2.2 – General – Dial IN/OUT.)

Default: Off

Brouter Settings

IP Address

Allowed values: Should be in decimal dotted notation and in another Network ID than the Local IP Address of the ED-20.

(Refer to section 8.2.3 – Ethernet Interface – Local IP Address)

Connect Message

This message will establish the modem connection. Allowed values: Is decided by the attached modem.

Note! Refer to the user guide or installation manual to the attached modem.

8.2.5 Firewall settings

The firewall function will allow the network administrator to control the network access and limit the traffic on the PPP link. It’s possible to accomplish this in two modes.

-Pass,Will only allow traffic where the source and destination IP address is present in the entry list.

-Block,Will block traffic where either source or destination is present in the entry list. See application exampes on page 31.

Firewall Mode

Disables or enables the Firewall mode with the radio buttons.

And selects if the firewall shall work in Block or Pass mode.
