Red Lion IndustrialPr 6000 Router - Manual (Page 47)

Software User Guide 47
Network Tab
Maximum Receive Idle Time (rxidle): Enter the number of seconds the connection may be allowed to remain “idle” or
“unresponsive” (no data received) before closing the connection. If packets are leaving the interface, but no return
packet is received for the specified time, then the connection is reset. This can be useful for detecting an unresponsive
situation where the network is down, the modem is in an unknown state, or other low level error may have occurred.
Note: If the normal usage of the device regularly has packets leaving the unit with no expected response, then prema‐
ture disconnections may result. Outgoing UDP packets with no expected response may be normal operation, yet will
trigger this disconnection and reset.
The recommended setting for this field is 0 to turn off. The recommended value to enable this feature is 150 seconds
(2.5 minutes).
User Default Route: This field allows you to choose to have the default route for the Red Lion router to be the cellular
connection when it is connected, or to designate an Ethernet port as the default route. Select Yes to have the cellular
connection use the default route once it is connected.
Use Peer DNS: Select Yes to have the cell connection accept DNS information from the peer device to which it is con‐
nected.
Auto add SNAT rule: When turned on, this option runs a script which, when a celluar connection comes up, will add a
firewall rule which forces a packet to source the IP address that the PPP interface receives from the remote ISP.
Normally recommended for a wireless interface which has a static IP (never changes). Can sometimes cause problems
with dynamic IPs.
The recommended setting for this field is NO.
Enable Custom AT and PPP Commands: Custom AT and PPP commands are for advanced users and configuration. This
option should not be enabled or used except under the direction of Red Lion Technical Support. Enabling and entering
items into this option can cause your Cellular modem’s connection to fail. The recommended setting for this field is
No.
• Click on the “Save” button for changes to be saved without activating the interface, the “Apply” button will save
