Setting up Eroutes for Multiple Users 4.50.1
For small numbers of users it is usual to set up an individual eroute for each user. However, to
ease configuration where large numbers of users are required, the “*” character can be used as a
wildcard to match multiple user IDs. For example, setting the Peer ID parameter to “Westermo*”
would match all remote units having an Our ID parameter starting with “Westermo”, e.g.
Westermo01, Westermo02, etc.
Example:
To setup multiple users in this way, first set up the Our ID parameter on the host unit to a suitable
name, e.g. “Host1”. Then set the Peer ID parameter to “Remote*” for example. In addition, an entry
would be made in the user table with “Remote*” for the Username and a suitable Password value,
e.g. “mysecret”.
Each of the remote units that required access to the host would then have to be configured with an
Our ID parameter of “Remote01”, “Remote02”, etc. and each would have to have an entry in their
user table for User Host 1 along with its password (i.e. the pre-shared key).
