IPitomy Monitored Router

Connecting Cables

1. For this product to work properly, please make sure your ISP has your modem in Transparent Bridge Mode before proceeding. Some modems require a reboot when connecting a new device.
2. Plug your Internet connection coming from your modem (Cable/DSL) or Ethernet (Fiber/T1) in the WAN Port "A". Connect your PC direct to LAN Port "B".
3. Connect your Power Supply to Port "C".
4. The OPT Port "D" is for an optional failover secondary Internet connection, used when the optional feature WAN Failover is purchased.

NOTE::After the device is connected and powered on, you will need to reboot the computer or release and renew so it pulls a new IP address from the IPitomy Monitored Router.

Testing

If the public IP of the site is dynamic, you should be able to get out to the internet after 1-2 minutes. You can test this by going to www.google.com. This will result in a testing screen if it succeeds in getting its WAN IP via DHCP, or a Failed to Detect Screen.

If you see the testing screen, wait 1-2 minutes, once its finish, you will be connected to www.google.com, you are finished and can now connect the sites network switch to the LAN Port "B".

If you get the Failed to Detect Screen, you will need some basic information from your ISP.

• Your Static IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway

OR

• PPOE/PPTP Username and Password

Input this information and save.

NOTE:: If you input information on this screen and it successfully connects, the information will be saved to the dashboard on completion. You should not have to enter this information again. After you have saved, go back to your browser and go to www.google.com The testing page will now come up; wait 2-3 minutes. When Google comes up, you are online and can connect the LAN Port "B" to the sites network switch.

Firewall and Port Forwarding

In order to program the router to allow traffic inbound from the outside to the LAN, you need to create a Firewall Rule and Port Forwarding. Below are examples of how to set this up for the standard ports of 80, 22, 5060, and 10k-20k. You can use these examples to create any other port forwarding and firewalls your customer may need. (In these examples the PBX was at 192.168.35.10)
