Product Usage Instructions
Inbound Mappings
Inbound mappings specify WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific
Internet IP addresses for forwarding traffic to LAN hosts. This setting is
available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field.
Outbound Mappings
Outbound mappings specify WAN IP addresses used when a LAN host connects to
the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range or network will be mapped to one of
the selected WAN’s IP addresses for better utilization and compatibility.
Save Settings
Click Save to save the settings after completing configuration.
Inbound Firewall Rules
Inbound firewall rules take precedence over Inbound Mappings settings.
20 QoS – User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager,
Staff, and Guest. Bandwidth control and traffic prioritization policies can be
applied to each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections.
Add / Edit User Group
Use the Add button to define clients and their user group. Two default
rules, All DHCP reservation clients, and Everyone are pre-defined and cannot
be removed.
Define User Group
Define whether the client(s) are identified by an IP Address or a Subnet.
Specify the subnet/IP address and choose the User Group it belongs to.
Important Note
Users assigned to a user group will have their internet traffic restricted
by the rules defined for that group.
FAQ
Q: What should I do if I do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing
accesses?
A: Choose default in the Outbound Mappings settings, then customize the
outbound access rule in the Outbound Policy section.
Q: How are LAN hosts mapped to WAN IP addresses in Outbound Mappings?
A: LAN hosts in an IP range or network are evenly mapped to selected WAN’s
IP addresses for better utilization in a persistent manner.
Inbound Mappings
Outbound Mappings
available when IP Network is selected.
This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific
Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the
specified WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN
host. This option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN
Client(s) field.
Note that inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode or
IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to
one NAT mapping only.
This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP
connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP
range or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN’s IP
addresses (for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for
better application compatibility).
Note that if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you
should still choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in
the Outbound Policy section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or
IP forwarding mode are not shown here.
Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.
Important Note
Inbound firewall rules override the Inbound Mappings settings.

20 QoS
20.1 User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and Guest. This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group. You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets are placed towards the bottom.
Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the
button to remove the
defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are All DHCP
reservation clients and Everyone, and they cannot be removed. The All DHCP reservation
client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings
page. Everyone represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to
change its group.
Subnet / IP Address
Group
Add / Edit User Group
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the client(s)
by an IP Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a name defined
in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client’s IP address. If Subnet is selected,
enter a subnet address and specify its subnet mask.
This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address
belongs to.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for details.
141
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
20.2 Bandwidth Control
This section is to define how much minimum bandwidth will be reserved to each
user group when a WAN connection is in full load. When this feature is
enabled, a slider with two indicators will be shown. You can move the
indicators to adjust each group’s weighting. The lower part of the table shows
the corresponding reserved download and uploads bandwidth value of each
connection. By default, 50% of bandwidth has been reserved for Manager, 30%
for Staff, and 20% for Guest.
You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload
speed (for each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member
can consume. No limit can be imposed on individual Managers. By default,
download and upload bandwidth limits are set to unlimited (set as 0).
Application
20.3.2 Application Prioritization On many Pepwave routers, you can choose
whether to apply the same prioritization settings to all user groups or
customize the settings for each group.
Three application priority levels can be set: High, Normal, andLow. Pepwave
routers can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet
content. Select an application by choosing a supported application, or by
defining a custom application manually. The priority preference of supported
applications is placed at the top of the table. Custom applications are at
142

the bottom.
20.3.3 Prioritization for Custom Applications
Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button to delete the custom application in the corresponding row.
in the Action column
When Supported Applications is selected, the Pepwave router will inspect network traffic and prioritize the selected applications. Alternatively, you can select Custom Applications and define the application by providing the protocol, scope, port number, and DSCP value.
143

20.3.4 DSL/Cable Optimization
DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher
download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit’s uplink is congested, the
download bandwidth will be affected. Users will not be able to download data
at full speed until the uplink becomes less congested. DSL/Cable Optimization
can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the download speed will become
less affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is enabled.

21 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the
WAN side (the Internet) and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the
local network from potential hacker attacks, access to offensive websites,
and/or other inappropriate uses. The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers
supports the selective filtering of data traffic in both directions:
Outbound (LAN to WAN) Inbound (WAN to LAN) Internal Network (VLAN to VLAN)
The firewall also supports the following functionality: Intrusion detection
and DoS prevention Web blocking
With SpeedFusionTM enabled, the firewall rules also apply to VPN tunneled
traffic.

This setting specifies whether the firewall rule should take effect. If the box is checked, the firewall rule takes effect. If the traffic matches the specified protocol/IP/port, actions will be taken by the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. If the box is not checked, the firewall rule does not take effect. The Pepwave router will disregard the other parameters of the rule.
Click the dropdown menu next to the checkbox to place this firewall rule on a time schedule.
WAN Connection (Inbound)
Select the WAN connection that this firewall rule should apply to.
Protocol
This setting specifies the protocol to be matched. Via a drop-down menu, the
following protocols can be specified:
Any TCP UDP ICMP DSCP IP Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down
menu can be used to automatically fill in the protocol and port number of
common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.)
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the
protocol and port number remains manually modifiable.
Source IP & Port
This specifies the source IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched for the firewall rule. A single address, or a network, can be specified as the Source IP & Port setting, as indicated by the following screenshot:
In addition, a single port, or a range of ports, can be specified for the Source IP & Port settings.
Destination IP & Port
This specifies the destination IP address(es) and port number(s) to be matched
for the firewall rule. A single address, or a network, can be specified as the
Destination IP & Port setting, as indicated by the following screenshot:
In addition, a single port, or a range of ports, can be specified for the
Destination IP & Port settings.
Action
This setting specifies the action to be taken by the router upon encountering traffic
148
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
that matches the both of the following:
Source IP & port
Destination IP & port
With the value of Allow for the Action setting, the matching traffic passes
through the router (to be routed to the destination). If the value of the
Action setting is set to Deny, the matching traffic does not pass through the
router (and is discarded).
Event Logging
This setting specifies whether or not to log matched firewall events. The
logged messages are shown on the page Status>Event Log. A sample message is as
follows:
Aug 13 23:47:44 Denied CONN=Ethernet WAN SRC=20.3.2.1

24 Miscellaneous Settings
The miscellaneous settings include configuration for High Availability,
Certificate Manager, service forwarding, service passthrough, GPS forwarding,
GPIO, Groupe Networks and SIM Toolkit (depending the feature is supported on
the model of Peplin router that is being used).
24.1 High Availability
Many Pepwave routers support high availability (HA) configurations via an open
standard virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768). In an HA
configuration, two Pepwave routers provide redundancy and failover in a
master-slave arrangement. In the event that the master unit is down, the slave
unit becomes active. High availability will be disabled automatically where
there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN bypass port.
In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router and
to the modem. Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via a LAN
port.
An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual
router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each other
using VRRP over the LAN.
The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a frequency
of one heartbeat signal per second.
In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is
received in 3 seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave
Pepwave router becomes active.
The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a
previously
163
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
configured LAN IP address.
At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once
again become active.
You can configure high availability at Advanced>Misc. Settings>High Availability.
Interface for Master Router
Interface for Slave Router
High Availability
Enable
Checking this box specifies that the Pepwave router is part of a high availability configuration.
This number identifies a pair of Pepwave routers operating in a high
availability
Group Number configuration. The two Pepwave routers in the pair must have the
same Group Number value.
Preferred Role
This setting specifies whether the Pepwave router operates in master or slave mode. Click the corresponding radio button to set the role of the unit. One of the units in the pair must be configured as the master, and the other unit must be configured as the slave.
Resume Master This option is displayed when Master mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this Role Upon option is enabled, once the device has recovered from an outage, it will take over Recovery and resume its Master role from the slave unit.
Configuration Sync.
This option is displayed when Slave mode is selected in Preferred Role. If
this option is enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the
actual master unit’s, the master unit will automatically transfer the
configuration to this unit.
Please make sure the LAN IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields are set
correctly in the LAN settings page. You can refer to the Event Log for the
configuration synchronization status.
Master Serial If Configuration Sync. is checked, the serial number of the master unit is required
Number

Virtual IP
The HA pair must share the same Virtual IP. The Virtual IP and the LAN
164
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
Administration IP must be under the same network.
LAN Administration
IP
This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration functionality. This address should be unique within the LAN.
Subnet Mask This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN.
Important Note
For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the
default gateway for all hosts on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall
sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its default gateway as the
virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router.
In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set.
165
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
Please note that the drop-in WAN cannot be configured as a LAN bypass port
while it is configured for high availability.
24.2 Certificate Manager
This section allows for certificates to be assigned to the local VPN, Web Admin SSL, Captive Portal SSL, OpenVPN CA, Wi-Fi WAN Client certificate and Wi-Fi WAN CA Certificate.
166

24.3 Service Forwarding
Service forwarding settings are located at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service
Forwarding.
SMTP Forwarding
Web Proxy Forwarding
DNS Forwarding
Custom Service Forwarding
Service Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing SMTP connections destined for any
host at TCP port 25 will be intercepted. These connections will be redirected
to a specified SMTP server and port number. SMTP server settings for each WAN
can be specified after selecting Enable.
When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy
server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted. These
connections will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and port
number. Web proxy interception settings and proxy server settings for each WAN
can be specified after selecting Enable.
When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted and
redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using the DNS
name servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this option to
enhance the DNS availability without modifying the DNS server setting of the
clients. The built-in DNS name server will distribute DNS lookups to
corresponding DNS servers of all available WAN connections. In this case, DNS
service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN connection is down.
When custom service forwarding is enabled, outgoing traffic with the specified
TCP port will be forwarded to a local or remote server by defining its IP
address and port number.
167
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
24.3.2 SMTP Forwarding Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the
ISP’s SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP connections are blocked except those
connecting to the ISP’s. Pepwave routers support intercepting and redirecting
all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a WAN connection
to the WAN’s corresponding SMTP server.
To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check Enable
Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under SMTP Server,
enter the ISP’s e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP Port, enter
the TCP port number for each WAN. The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP
connections. Choose a WAN port according to the outbound policy, and then
forward the connection to the SMTP server if the chosen WAN has enabled
forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP
connections for the WAN will be simply be forwarded to the connection’s
original destination.
Note If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN
connection(s), you should create a custom rule in outbound policy (see Section
14.2).

24.4 Service Passthrough
Service passthrough settings can be found at Advanced>Misc. Settings>Service
Passthrough.
Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. Pepwave routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice being behind a multi-WAN router. Settings for service passthrough support are available here.
Service Passthrough Support
Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave
router can act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds
connections for the same SIP session to the same WAN connection and
SIP
translate IP address in the SIP packets correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is always enabled, and there are two modes for selection:
Standard Mode and Compatibility Mode. If your SIP server’s signal port
number is non-standard, you can check the box Define custom signal ports
and input the port numbers to the text boxes.
H.323
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave router.
FTP
FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In a multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection. Otherwise, problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave router monitors TCP control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds TCP connections of the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you have an FTP server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check Define custom control ports and enter the port numbers in the text boxes.
TFTP
The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any
incoming TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to
enable TFTP passthrough support.
170
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
IPsec NAT-T
This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T passthrough. UDP ports
500, 4500, and 10000 are monitored by default. You may add more custom
data ports that your IPsec system uses by checking Define custom ports. If the
VPN contains IPsec site-to-site VPN traffic, check Route IPsec Site-to-Site
VPN and choose the WAN connection to route the traffic to.

24.5 UART
Selected Pepwave MAX routers feature a RS-232 serial interface on the built-in
terminal block. The RS-232 serial interface can be used to connect to a serial
device and make it accessible over an TCP/IP network. The serial interface can
be enabled and parameters can be set on the web admin page under Advanced >
UART. Make sure they match the serial device you are connecting to.
172
Copyright @ 2021 Peplink
There are 4 pins i.e. TX, RX, RTS, CTS on the terminal block for serial
connection and they correspond to the pins in a DB-9 connector as follows:
DB-9 Pepwave MAX Terminal Block Pin 1
Pin 2 Rx (rated -+25V)
Pin 3 Tx (rated -+12V)
Pin 4
Pin 5
Pin 6
Pin 7 RTS
Pin 8 CTS
Pin 9 The RS232 serial interface is not an isolated RS232. External galvanic
isolation may be added if required. Be sure to check whether your serial cable
is a null modem cable, commonly known as crossover cable, or a straight
through cable. If in doubt, swap Rx and Tx, and RTS and CTS, at the other end
and give it another go. Once connected, your serial device should be
accessible on your Pepwave MAX router LAN IP address at the specified TCP
port.

24.7 Ignition Sensing
Ignition Sensing detects the ignition signal status of a vehicle it is
installed in. This feature allows the cellular router to start up or shut down
when the engine of that vehicle is started or turned off. The time delay
setting between ignition off and power down of the router is a configurable
setting, which allows the router to stay on for a period of time after the
engine of a vehicle is turned off.

interface. Ignition Sensing options can be found in Advanced > GPIO. The
configurable option for Ignition Input is Delay; the time in seconds that the
router stays powered on after the ignition is turned off.
The O/P (connected to the I/O pin on a 4 pin connector) can be configured as a
digital input, a digital output, or an analog input. Digital Input – the
connection supports input sensing; it reads the external input and determines
if the settings should be ‘High’ (on) or ‘Low’ (off). Digital Output – when
there is a healthy WAN connection, the output pin is marked as ‘High’ (on).
Otherwise, it will be marked as ‘Low’ (off).
Note: The Digital Output state (on/off) upon rebooting the device may vary
depending on the model, eg. MAX BR1 MK2 = Persistent; MAX Transit Mini with
ContentHub = Reset to default, etc.
Analog Input – to be confirmed. In most cases, it should read the external
input and determine the voltage level.

28 System Settings
28.1 Admin Security
There are two types of user accounts available for accessing the web admin:
admin and user. They represent two user levels: the admin level has full
administrative access, while the user level is read-only. The user level can
access only the device’s status information; users cannot make any changes on
the device.
A web login session will be logged out automatically when it has been idle
longer than the Web Session Timeout. Before the session expires, you may click
the Logout button in the web admin to exit the session.
0 hours 0 minutes signifies an unlimited session time. This setting should be
used only in special situations, as it will lower the system security level if
users do not log out before closing the browser. The default is 4 hours, 0
minutes.
For security reasons, after logging in to the web admin Interface for the
first time, it is recommended to change the administrator password.
Configuring the administration interface to be accessible only from the LAN
can further improve system security. Administrative settings configuration is
located at System>Admin Security.

Appendix B: FusionSIM Manual
Peplink has developed a unique technology called FusionSIM, which allows SIM
cards to remotely link to a cellular router. This can be done via cloud or
within the same physical network. There are a few key scenarios to fit certain
applications.
The purpose of this manual is to provide an introduction on where to start and
how to set up for the most common scenarios and uses.
Requirements
1. A Cellular router that supports FusionSIM technology 2. SIM Injector 3.
SIM card
Notes: – Always check for the latest Firmware version for both the cellular
router and the SIM Injector. You can also check for the latest Firmware
version on the device’s WEB configuration page. – A list of products that
support FusionSIM can be found on the SIM Injector WEB page. Please check
under the section Supported models.
SIM Injector reset and login details
How to reset a SIM Injector: – Hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds. Once
the LED status light turns RED, the reset button can be released. SIM Injector
will reboot and start with the factory default settings.
The default WEB login settings: – User: admin – Password: admin – IP address:
the device only has a DHCP client and no fallback IP address. Therefore, it is
advised to check every time what IP address is assigned to the SIM Injector.
Notes: – The SIM Injector can be monitored via InControl 2. Configuration is
not supported.

Scenario 1: SIM Injector in LAN of Cellular Router
Setup topology
This is the most basic scenario in which the SIM Injector is connected
directly to the cellular router’s LAN port via an ethernet cable. This allows
for the cellular router to be positioned for the best possible signal.
Meanwhile, the SIM cards can be conveniently located in other locations such
as the office, passenger area, or the bridge of a ship. The SIM Injector
allows for easily swapping SIM cards without needing to access a cellular
router.
IMPORTANT: Cellular WAN will not fallback to the local SIM if it is configured
to use the SIM Injector.
Configuring the SIM Injector
1. Connect the SIM Injector to the LAN port of the cellular router. 2. Insert
SIM cards into the SIM Injector. The SIM cards will be automatically detected.
IMPORTANT: SIM cards inserted into SIM Injector must not have a PIN code.
Note 1: The SIM Injector gets its IP address via DHCP and doesn’t have a
static IP address. To find it’s address, please check the DHCP lease on the
cellular router.

Scenario 2: SIM Injector in WAN of main Router and multiple Cellular Routers
Setup topology
In this scenario, each HD Dome creates a WAN connection to the main router. A
single SIM Injector is used to provide SIM cards for each HD Dome. The HD Dome
can be replaced with any Peplink cellular router supporting RemoteSIM
technology.
This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps shown in
Scenario 1 in addition to the configuration steps explained below.
Additional configurations for Cellular Routers
Step 1. Disable the DHCP server.
– HD Dome 1 should act as a DHCP server. – HD Dome 2 should be configured to
have a static IP address with DHCP disabled. – Both routers should be in the
same subnet (e.g. 192.168.50.1 and 192.168.50.2).
250

Scenario 4: SIM Injector in a remote location
Setup topology
Requirements for installing a SIM Injector in a remote location: Cellular
router communicates with the SIM Injector via UDP port 50000. Therefore this
port must be reachable via public IP over the Internet. The one way latency
between the cellular router and the SIM Injector should be up to 250 ms. A
higher latency may lead to stability issues. The cellular router must have
Internet connection to connect to the SIM Injector. It can be another Internet
connection via Ethernet or Fiber if possible, or a secondary cellular
interface with a local SIM (Ignite SIM). Due to its high latency, it is not
recommended to use satellite WAN for connecting to a SIM Injector in remote
locations.
SIM Injector configuration is the same as in Scenario 1.
Cellular Router configuration
Step 1. Enable the SIM Injector communication protocol.
1a. For a Balance cellular router, go to the Network (Top tab). 1b. For a MAX
cellular router, go to the Advanced (Top tab).
