Creating a WAN Link

The following is a simplified process for creating a data link from Site A to Site B via the WAN ports.

At Site A on IP address 192.168.43.1.

Create a Normal Service
The Service name can be any text and is used to identify this particular service. The account Name and password entered for the service are presented to the remote end, therefore must match the user name and password configured at Site B. The Encrypted Password option can only be used if the remote end also supports CHAP.

Create a User
Under the Dial In tab, tick Dial In On. This User account is used to authenticate the connection from the Site B. Note that if the Service and User have the same name these two configuration forms are automatically linked and become an Intranet Service. The User password is displayed at the bottom of the Service tab as the Incoming Password.

Setup RAS
If CHAP is to be used on this link then the Encrypted Password option must be checked in the Service and in the RAS service. The name of the RAS service must match the name of the Service at Site B. Note that if the RAS settings are given the same name as the Service and User they are automatically linked and become a WAN Service. Ensure that the Encrypted Password option is not checked when using a WAN Service.

4.	Edit the WANPort Note: Do not create a new WANPort, this is automatically detected. If a WANPort is not displayed, connect the WAN cable, reboot the Control Unit and receive the configuration. The WANPort configuration form should now be added.

5.	Create an IP Route In the IP Address field enter the network address of the remote end, not the IP address of the Control Unit. Under Destination select the Service created above.

At Site B on IP address 192.168.45.1

1.	Repeat the above process but altering the details to create a route from Site B to Site A
