Once the configuration is complete, the router will access the network via the specified static IP address.

alt text

Figure 4-21 Static IP Configuration

PPPoE: Users have the option to configure broadband dial-up. Once the configuration is complete, the router will establish an internet connection through the broadband dial-up.

alt text

Figure 4-22 PPPoE Configuration

Cautions: - After adding a WAN interface, the original LAN1 port will switch its role to WAN. - After deleting the WAN interface, the former WAN port will revert to LAN1. - Deleting the WAN interface will remove all associated configurations including static routes, inbound/outbound rules, port forwarding, policy routing.

4.3.2 Wireless Connection

The IR602 supports connecting as a client to an on-site AP's network. To do this, click the "Add" button, select "Wi-Fi (STA)," and fill in the required parameters, including the SSID name and password.

alt text

Figure 4-23 Wi-Fi STA Configuration

Cautions: 1. Upon adding Wi-Fi (STA), the IR602 will automatically disable SSIDs in the same frequency band within the Wi-Fi settings, and the status field for those SSIDs cannot be modified. 2. After removing Wi-Fi (STA), the "Status" field and SSIDs in the same frequency band within the Wi-Fi settings can be modified. 3. When Wi-Fi (STA) is deleted, all configuration associated with the Wi-Fi (STA) interface, including static routes, inbound/outbound rules, port forwarding, policy routing, and traffic shaping settings, will be removed.

4.3.3 5G/4G Connection

In the usual scenario, upon inserting the SIM card and connecting the antennas, the IR602 router will automatically establish a dial-up connection and connect to the network when powered on.

To configure APN (Access Point Name) parameters, select the "Cellular" interface in the 【Internet】 menu and click the "Edit" button to access the APN parameter configuration interface.

alt text

Figure 4-24 Cellular APN Configuration

Select the "Cellular" interface in the 【Internet】 menu and click the "Policy" button to access the SIM card's policy parameter configuration interface.

alt text

Figure 4-25 Cellular Traffic Policy

Action Description
Notification Generates an event when traffic reaches the threshold but does not stop forwarding regular business traffic
Cloud Management Only Generates an event when traffic reaches the threshold, allowing only the forwarding of cloud-based management traffic while blocking access to the internet for regular business traffic
Switch the SIM Card Generates an event when traffic reaches the threshold and switches to another SIM card for internet access

Cautions: 1. In certain dedicated network scenarios, it may be necessary to manually disable the "Link Detection" function under the 【Internet】 menu to prevent cellular connectivity issues caused by unsuccessful detection. 2. In some cases, manual configuration of the subnet mask for the cellular interface may be required to ensure the proper functioning of the ARP feature. 3. When inserting or removing a SIM card, it is essential to disconnect the power to prevent data loss or damage to the device.

The WAN and Wi-Fi (STA) interfaces can be added, edited, or removed in the Internet > Uplink Table. The priority of each interface can also be adjusted by dragging the "Priority" icon. Interfaces are arranged from top to bottom based on their priority, with higher priority interfaces taking precedence in determining the current upstream interface for device operation.

alt text

Figure 4-26 Uplink Table

Link detection settings and collaboration modes between different upstream interfaces can be configured through the Internet > Upstream Link Settings feature.

alt text

Figure 4-27 Uplink Settings

Link Detection Switch: The device has link detection functionality enabled by default. However, in certain specialized network environments where external communication is not possible, users may need to manually disable link detection. When link detection is turned off, latency, jitter, packet loss, signal strength, and other information for upstream interfaces will not be viewable in the 【Status】 menu.

Notes: 1. Modifying settings in the Internet menu can potentially lead to a disruption in device connectivity. Exercise caution when making changes. 2. When the link detection address is left empty, the default behavior is to detect the DNS address via the upstream interface. If a detection address is specified, all upstream interfaces will only detect the address provided. 3. In the router's link backup mode, users can customize detection parameters, and the device will switch links based on the enabled detection items. When detection items are not enabled, upstream link switching will only occur based on priority and link connectivity. 4. In the device's load balancing mode, all operational upstream links will forward business traffic, provided they are functioning correctly.

4.4 Local Network

The Local Network feature allows users to define local subnets, including the address range, VLAN ID, DHCP services, and other related parameters. After the configuration is complete, the settings must be applied to the device's LAN port through Interface Management or to the desired SSID in the Wi-Fi settings. This ensures that client devices can connect to the local network according to the planned network addresses.

4.8 Security

In the Security menu, users can configure advanced features related to firewalls, policy routing, and traffic shaping.

4.8.1 Firewall

The firewall includes functions such as inbound rules, outbound rules, port forwarding, MAC address filtering, and more.

Inbound/Outbound Rules

Traffic in/out control can be implemented based on interfaces through the Security > Firewall > Outbound Rules/Inbound Rules feature. For example, if a user is subjected to a significant amount of attacks from a specific source IP address, inbound firewall rules can be used to restrict traffic from that IP address.

alt text

Figure 4-40 Inbound/Outbound Rules Configuration

Furthermore, IT personnel can utilize outbound firewall rules to restrict certain users' access to external networks. Inbound and outbound rules share the same configurable content, with the only distinction being the default rules.

The parameters for inbound/outbound rules are described in the following table.

Parameter Description
Name The name of the inbound/outbound rule for local identification.
Status Rule function switch.
Interface For outbound rules, it specifies the upstream interface where traffic leaves the router. For inbound rules, it specifies the upstream interface where traffic enters the router.
Protocol Match traffic based on the protocol type, with options like Any, TCP, UDP, ICMP, or custom.
Source Match the source address for traffic, supporting custom, with the default as Any.
Destination Match the destination address for traffic, supporting custom, with the default as Any.
Action Action taken for matching traffic in inbound/outbound rules, supporting allow and deny.
Inbound Rules Traffic management rules for external network accessing the router, with the default as deny all.
Outbound Rules Traffic management rules for traffic going out through the router, with the default allowing all.

Users can adjust the priority of inbound and outbound rules.

Port Forwarding

Port forwarding, also known as port mapping or port redirection, is used to redirect network packets from one network port (or address) to another network port or address. Users can configure port forwarding rules under Security > Firewall > Port Forwarding. When external traffic accesses a specific port on the router, the device forwards the data to the corresponding port of an internal client, enabling external access to services inside the router.

For example, when a user needs to access the service on port 1024 of the internal client at 192.168.2.10 from the external network, this client's port can be mapped to port 1024 under the WAN1 interface. External users only need to enter https://WAN address:1024 in their browser to access the target device's data, where the "WAN address" is the IP address of the WAN interface.

alt text

Figure 4-41 Port Forwarding Configuration

The parameters for port forwarding rules are described in the following table.

Parameter Description
Name The name of the port forwarding rule, used for local identification.
Status The on/off switch for the port forwarding rule.
Interface The upstream interface that provides mapping functionality for internal clients. The upstream interface needs public IP address support.
Protocol The protocol type of the traffic for port mapping, supports TCP, UDP, and TCP & UDP.
Public Port The port number on the upstream interface that provides mapping.
Local Address The address of the target device located under the router that the external network needs to access.
Local Port The port of the target device that the external network needs to access. It needs to be consistent with the public port input range.

NAT

NAT (Network Address Translator) is a technology used to use a private address in a local network and switch to a global IP address when connecting to the Internet. You can set source or destination address translation as needed in "Security > Firewall > NAT".

alt text

Figure 4-42 NAT

The parameters for NAT rules are described in the following table.

Parameter Description
Name The user sets a name for the rule.
Type The type of this rule.
Protocol The scope of the rule.
Source The source IP address that needs to be translated.
Destination The destination IP address that needs to be translated.
Converted Address Translated address.

The Type parameter supports the following options:

Type Description
SNAT Translate the source IP address.
DNAT Translate the destination IP address.

The Protocol parameter supports the following options:

Protocol Description
Any This rule is effective for all protocols.
TCP This rule takes effect only for TCP protocol.
UDP This rule takes effect only for UDP protocol.
TCP&UDP This rule takes effect only for TCP and UDP protocols.

MAC Address Filter

MAC address filtering involves allowing or disallowing devices in a MAC address list to access the internet, which means controlling LAN devices' internet access requests through MAC address filtering on the router. Users can configure MAC address filtering rules in Security > Firewall > MAC Address Filtering.

Multiple MAC addresses can be created in the list, address descriptions can be added, and the list can be set to allow only the MAC addresses to access the network (whitelist), or block MAC addresses in the list from accessing the network (blacklist).

alt text

Figure 4-43 MAC Address Filtering Configuration

Domain Name Filtering

Domain filtering allows you to block (or allow) client access to the domains specified in the list. You can configure which domains are accessible or blocked under Security > Firewall > Domain Filtering.

You can add multiple rules to the domain filtering table to either allow clients to access certain domains (whitelist) or prohibit clients from accessing certain domains (blacklist).

alt text

Figure 4-44 Domain Name Filtering

4.8.2 Policy-Based Routing

Policy-Based Routing is a feature that allows you to define routing policies based on actual requirements, enabling different data flows to be forwarded over different links as needed. This enhances the flexibility and controllability of routing selection, while improving link utilization efficiency and reducing enterprise costs.

Click Add under Security > Policy-Based Routing to create a new policy-based routing rule.

Note: The source address and destination address must not both be set to Any during configuration.

alt text

4.9.1 Portal

The IR602 provides two types of Portal authentication: built-in lightweight authentication on the device and external RADIUS wireless authentication.

alt text

Figure 4-46 Portal Configuration

  1. Internal Portal Users can choose between two local authentication modes: Click-Passthrough and User Authentication. The device also supports authenticating specified SSIDs, as well as customizing the welcome message, title, logo, background image, etc. on the redirected access page. alt text

Figure 4-47 Internal Portal Configuration

2.External Portal You can choose either Third-Party Authentication or Radius authentication. When a third-party RADIUS server is deployed, wireless terminals can join the network via RADIUS authentication. Under Wi-Fi > SSIDs, select WPA or WPA2, and enter the authentication server address, port, and shared key. alt text

Figure 4-48 External Portal Configuration

4.9.2 802.1X

802.1X is a port-based network access control protocol used to authenticate devices attempting to access a LAN or WLAN. By enabling 802.1X, the network ensures that only authenticated devices or users can access network resources, thereby enhancing network security. This feature is typically deployed in enterprise, campus, or branch office networks and can work with a RADIUS server for centralized authentication and management.

alt text

Figure 4-49 802.1X Configuration

  • 802.1X Function Switch: Enables or disables the 802.1X function. It is recommended to keep this enabled in scenarios where network access control is required; otherwise, keep it disabled.
  • Enabled: Enables the 802.1X authentication function, and authentication will be performed on all configured authentication ports.
  • Disabled: Disables the 802.1X function, and no authentication will be performed on the ports.
  • Server: Specifies the IP address or domain name of the RADIUS server used for 802.1X authentication.
  • Authentication Port: The physical or logical ports on which 802.1X authentication is enabled. When a device connects, the port triggers an authentication request, and unauthenticated devices will be isolated.
  • Accounting Port: The port used for accounting or traffic statistics after 802.1X authentication succeeds. This applies only to networks where the accounting function is enabled. If accounting or traffic statistics are not required, this field can be left blank or disabled.
  • Shared Key: Used for secure communication between the 802.1X client and the RADIUS server.

4.10 Services

4.10.1 Interface Management

The local networks allowed through a specific interface and the interface speed can be configured in the Service > Interface Management function.

alt text

Figure 4-50 Interface Management List

alt text

Figure 4-51 Interface Management Configuration

4.10.2 DHCP Server

The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service operates in a client/server communication mode, where clients request IP addresses from servers, and servers respond by assigning IP addresses dynamically to clients. The DHCP server's IP address pool can be configured using the Service > DHCP Server feature.

alt text

Figure 4-52 DHCP Server Configuration

Notes:

  1. The device's DHCP service is generated based on the network information in the local network. If a local subnet is removed from the Local Network list, the DHCP server for that local subnet will also be deleted.
  2. Local network entries need to be set in "IP" mode for the DHCP server function to take effect. Networks in "VLAN Only" mode are not within the selectable range.

4.10.3 DNS Server

DNS (Domain Name System) servers are a crucial network component responsible for translating human-readable domain names into computer-understandable IP addresses. DNS servers act as the address book of the internet, helping computers and devices locate other devices and ensuring that information can be correctly delivered across the network.

When DNS server addresses are not configured in Service > DNS Server, the DNS addresses obtained from the device's upstream interface will be used for domain name resolution. When DNS server addresses are configured, the configured DNS addresses will be used for domain name resolution.

alt text

Figure 4-53 DNS Server Configuration

4.10.4 Fixed Address List

The Service > Fixed Address List function can be used to allocate a fixed IP address to a device based on its MAC address. This means that the device will consistently receive the same IP address every time it connects to the IR602.

alt text

Figure 4-54 Fixed Address List Configuration

Cautions:

  1. The available addresses for allocation must fall within the address range of the local network in IP mode, or the configuration will not take effect.
  2. When the local network is deleted, all fixed address allocation rules within the local network's address range will be removed.

4.10.5 Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is used to automatically update the name server content in the domain system. According to internet domain rules, domain names are typically associated with fixed IP addresses. Dynamic DNS technology allows users with dynamic IP addresses to have a fixed name server, enabling external users to connect through regular updates.

The Dynamic DNS server address can be manually configured under the Service > Dynamic DNS feature.

alt text

Figure 4-55 Dynamic DNS Configuration

The Dynamic DNS parameters are described in the following table.
