WAN
WAN can be DHCP, Static or OFF

  1. DHCP - This allows the device to receive its WAN IP address from a DHCP server.
  2. Static - This sets the WAN IP address to a static address.
  3. OFF - This disables the WAN port.

Modem
Modem lets you configure Modem APN, Ping Period and Ping Host based on your modem.



Modem APN
  1. For 245G-L or 245G-M use int.gw14.vzwentp
  2. For 245G or 245G-B use intellastar.com.attz
Ping Period - This sets how often the device will ping the Ping Host (in minutes).
Ping Host - This is the IP address of the Host to ping for keep alive.
NOTE: The modem should be turned off if not using a cellular connection.

WiFi
WiFi lets you set WiFi Mode (Access Point, Client, Static or OFF), Channel, SSID and Password.


Note: If your device supports Wifi, it will be enabled by default when the unit is powered on. You may connect over if Wifi as an alternative to accessing via the LAN port.
AP Mode
Wireless defaults to AP mode to provide an access point.
The default configuration is derived from the Host ID:
  1. SSID Network Name: {model}-{serial}
  2. WPA2 Passphrase: {last 8 chars}
For example:
  1. Host ID: 245C-A1220000B-A41AD3CF
  2. SSID: 245C-A1220000B
  3. Passphrase: A41AD3CF
Client Mode
Wireless defaults to AP mode, but can be changed to Client Mode to connect to WAN via Wifi.
A blank SSID may be specified for WiFi client mode to scan for available APs.

Static Mode
Static Mode allows you to enter a static IP address for Wifi client.

LAN
LAN lets you set IP Address, Netmask, DHCP ON or OFF, DHCP Start and End, and Lease Time.


DNS
DNS lets you set Nameservers.



Uplink (5 modes)
Uplink lets you choose your Uplink priority.

Uplink Modes:
  1. WAN / Modem
  2. WiFi / Modem
  3. Modem
  4. WAN / WiFi / Modem
  5. Modem / WAN
Uplink Ping
The uplink ping is used to establish default routing for the device. The Uplink Ping Host identifies the IP address of a server that responds to ICMP ping requests. The T-STAR will try each network interface in the Uplink Priority list, in specified order, until it is able to reach the Uplink Ping Host. This is useful, for instance, when there is a wired ethernet backbone, by using cellular traffic as a backup in case the wired ethernet fails.

Uplink Reboot Timeout
In the event that a valid ping has not been received during the interval set, the uplink service will reboot the T-STAR and attempt to connect again.
