Set Up the
ION
3000 by Replacing the Router
Set up the
ION
3000 in control mode by replacing the
router.
Set up the
ION
3000 by replacing the existing
router. This mode allows you to configure the
ION
3000 as a drop-in replacement
for a WAN router in control mode and is most useful for saving cost
at new sites that are designed without a traditional router in mind.
While
this mode is used to remove an existing router at a site, it is
often simpler and less intrusive to deploy the
ION
in control mode
with an
existing router.
Plan and prepare to cable and connect the
ION
3000 to the network.
Ensure there is internet access using broadband or a private
network connection at the site to allow remote configuration of
the
ION
3000.
Connect the following cables:
Controller port—The controller port is used
for
ION
-to-network controller communication and monitoring. Connect
the controller port to an ethernet port. The controller port is
configured as a DHCP client by default.
Internet port(s)—Plug the internet ports in a broadband
internet source. These ports are protected by a firewall and can
be plugged directly to the internet source. They can also exist
behind a traditional firewall or NAT device. These ports are configured
as DHCP by default. If the internet ports require static IP configuration,
it is highly recommended that you configure the controller port
to an existing DHCP-enabled LAN with access to the internet using
a private network to configure the static internet ports.
At this point, the
ION
3000 appears as
connected
and
online-restricted
.
