Hardware installation
1.
Insert SIM card which was given by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Correct SIM card orientation is shown in the picture.
2.
Attach LTE and Wi-Fi antennas.
3.
Connect the power adapter to the socket on the front panel of the device. Then plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
4.
Connect to the device wirelessly (SSID: Teltonika_Router ) or use Ethernet cable and plug it into any LAN Ethernet port.
3.2
Logging in
After you’re complete with the setting up as described in the section above, you are ready to start logging into your router and start configuring it. This example shows how to connect on Windows 7. On windows Vista: click Start ->
Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center -> Manage network Connections -> (Go to step 4). On Windows XP: Click
Start -> Settings -> Network Connections -> (see step 4). You won’t see “Internet protocol version 4(TCP/IPv4)”, instead you’ll have to select “TCP/IP Settings” and click options -> (Go to step 6)
We first must set up our network card so that it could properly communicate with the router.
1.
Press the start button 2.
Type in “ pop up.
network connections”, wait for the results to
3.
Click “View network connections” 4.
Then right click on your wireless device that you use to connect to other access points (It is the one with the name
“Wireless Network Connection” and has signal bars on its icon).
5.
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click
Properties
6.
By default the router is going to have DHCP enabled, which means that if you select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”, the router should lease you an IP and you should be ready to login.
7.
If you choose to configure manually here’s what you have to do:
First select an IP address. Due to the stock settings that your router has arrived in you can only enter an IP in the form of 192.168.1.XXX , where XXX is a number in the range of 2-254 (192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.254 , 192.168.1.155 and so on… are valid; 192.168.1.0 , 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.1.255 , 192.168.1.699 and so on… are not). Next we enter the subnet mask: this has to be “255.255.255.0”. Then we enter the default gateway: this has to be “192.168.1.1”. Finally we enter primary and secondary DNS server IP’s. One will suffice, though it is good to have a secondary one as well as it will act as a backup if the first should fail. The DNS can be your routers IP (192.168.1.1), but it can also be some external
DNS server (like the one Google provides: 8.8.8.8).
Right click on the Wireless network icon and select Connect / Disconnect . A list should pop up with all available wireless networks. Select “Teltonika” and click connect . Then we launch our favorite browser and enter the router’s IP into the address field:
Press enter. If there are no problems you should be greeted with a login screen such as this:
Enter the default password, which is “admin01” into the “Password” field and then either click Login with your mouse or press the Enter key. You have now successfully logged into the RUT240!
From here on out you can configure almost any aspect of your router.
4 Operation Modes
The RUT2xx series router supports various operation modes. It can be connected to the internet (WAN) via mobile, standard Ethernet cable or via a wireless network. When connecting to the internet, you may also backup your main WAN connection with one or two backup connections. Any interface can act like backup if configured so. At first router uses its main WAN connection, if it is lost then router tries to connect via backup with higher priority and if that fails too, router tries the second backup option.

In later sections it will be explained, in detail, how to configure your router to work in a desired mode.
5 Powering Options
The RUT2xx router can be powered from power socket
5.1
Powering the device from higher voltage
If you decide not to use our standard 9 VDC wall adapters and want to power the device from higher voltage (15 –
30 VDC), please make sure that you choose a power supply of high quality. Some power supplies can produce voltage peaks significantly higher than the declared output voltage, especially during connection.
While the device is designed to accept input voltage of up to 30 VDC, peaks from high voltage power supplies can harm the device. If you want to use high voltage power supplies it is recommended to also use additional safety equipment to suppress voltage peaks from the power supply.

The connection type used when connecting to a network. It can either be PPP or QMI. PPP is considerably slower than QMI.
NAT mode enables network address translation on router.
Passthrough mode is similar with bridge mode except that in passthrough mode router do have internet connection.
Access Point Name (APN) is a configurable network identifier used by a mobile device when connecting to a GSM carrier.
A personal identification number is a secret numeric password shared between a user and a system that can be used to authenticate the user to the system. Use this only if your SIM card has PIN enabled.
Dialing number is used to establish a mobile PPP (Point-to-Point-
Protocol) connection.
Authentication method, which your carrier uses to authenticate new connections. (This selection is unavailable on the alternate model)
Your username that you would use to connect to your carrier’s network. This field becomes available when you select an authentication method (i.e. authentication method is not “none”).
Your password that you would use to connect to your carrier’s network. This field becomes available when you select an authentication method (i.e. authentication method is not “none”).
Your network preference. If your local mobile network supports 2G
3G and 4g you can specify to which network you wish to connect, e.g.: if you choose 2G only, the router will connect only to a 2G network. If you select auto, then the router will connect to the network that provides better connectivity.
If enabled this function prevents the device from establishing mobile data connection while not in home network.
If enabled this function makes the device to use only IPv4 settings when connecting to operator.
Warning: If an invalid PIN number was entered (i.e. the entered PIN does not match the one that was used to protect the SIM card), your SIM card will get blocked. To avoid such mishaps it is highly advised to use an unprotected
SIM. If you happen to insert a protected SIM and the PIN number is incorrect, your card won’t get blocked immediately, although after a couple of reboots OR configuration saves it will.

1.1.1.1.1
Passthrough mode
Using Passthrough Mode will disable most of the router capabilities!
DHCP mode: Static
Enter your computer’s MAC address (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) to MAC Address field and select Lease time (expiration time for leased addresses). Device, whose MAC address will be entered, will get IP from the GSM operator. Other connected devices will get IP from the router’s DHCP server, but these devices will not have internet access.
43
DHCP mode: Dynamic
When using Dynamic mode, the device will get an IP from the GSM operator, which connects to the router first.
When using Passthrough in dynamic mode, the DHCP in LAN configuration will be disabled.
DHCP mode: No DHCP
Using no DHCP mode, the IP (also subnet, gateway and DNS) should be entered manually on your device which you are trying to connect to the router’s LAN. When using Passthrough in no DHCP mode, the DHCP in LAN configuration will be disabled.

46
7.2.2.1
General Setup
7.2.2.1.1
Static:
5. Use custom DNS servers
This is the configuration setup for when you select the static protocol.
Filed name
1. IPv4 address
2. IPv4 netmask
3. IPv4 gateway
4. IPv4 broadcast
Sample
192.168.99.162
Explanation
Your router’s address on the WAN network
255.255.255.0 A mask used to define how “large” the WAN network is
192.168.99.254 Address where the router will send all the outgoing traffic
192.168.99.255 Broadcast address (auto generated if not set). It is best to leave this blank unless you know what you are doing.
8.8.8.8
8.8.6.6
Usually the gateway has some predefined DNS servers. As such the router, when it needs to resolve a hostname (“www.google.com”,
“www.cnn.com”, etc…) to an IP address, it will forward all the DNS requests to the gateway. By entering custom DNS servers the router will take care of host name resolution. You can enter multiple DNS servers to provide redundancy in case the one of the server fails.
7.2.2.1.2
DHCP:
When you select the DHCP protocol you can use it as is, because most networks will not require any additional advanced configuration.
47
7.2.2.1.3
PPPoE

4. Service Name auto Specifies the name of the service. Leave empty to auto detect.
7.2.2.2
Advanced
These are the advanced settings for each of the protocols, if you are unsure of how to alter these attributes it is highly recommended to leave them to a trained professional:
7.2.2.2.1
Static
48
Field name
1. Disable NAT
Sample value
On/Off
Explanation
Toggle NAT on and off.
2 Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you a static IP address it might also bind it to your computer’s MAC address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this field you can enter your computer’s MAC address and “fool” the gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
3. Override MTU 1500
4. Use gateway metric 0
Maximum Transmission Unit – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet.
The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry.
7.2.2.2.2
DHCP
Field name
1. Disable NAT
2 Use broadcast flag
3. Use default gateway
4. Use DNS server advertised by peer
5. User gateway metric
Sample value

If unchecked, no default route is configured
If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
6. Client ID to send when requesting DHCP
0 The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry
With this field you can alter the metric of that entry
Specify client ID which will be sent when requesting DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
7. Vendor Class to send when requesting DHCP
8. Override MAC address 86:48:71:B7:E9:E4 Override MAC address of the WAN interface. If your ISP gives you a static IP address it might also bind it to your computer’s MAC address (i.e. that IP will only work with your computer). In this field you can enter your computer’s MAC address and “fool” the gateway in thinking that it is communicating with your computer.
9. Override MTU 1500
Specify the vendor class which will be sent when requesting DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Maximum transmission unit – specifies the largest possible size of a data packet.
49

Field name
1. Disable NAT
2 Use default gateway
3. Use gateway metric
4. Use DNS servers advertised by peer
5. LCP echo failure threshold
6. LCP echo interval
7. Inactivity timeout
Sample value
Enable/Disable
Enable/Disable
0
5
0
Enable/Disable
0
Explanation
If checked, the router will not perform NAT (masquerade) on this interface
If unchecked, no default route is configured
The WAN configuration by default generates a routing table entry. With this field you can alter the metric of that entry
If unchecked, the advertised DNS server addresses are ignored
Presume peer to be dead after given amount of LCP echo failures, use 0 to ignore failures
Send LCP echo requests at the given interval in seconds, only effective in conjunction with failure threshold
Close inactive connection after the given amount of seconds, use
0 to persist connection
50
7.2.2.2.4
IP Aliases
IP aliases are a way of defining or reaching a subnet that works in the same space as the regular network.
As you can see, the configuration is very similar to the static protocol; only in the example a 99th subnet is defined. Now if some device has an IP in the 99 subnet (192.168.99.xxx) and the subnet’s gateway metric is “higher” and the device is trying to reach the internet it will reroute it’s traffic not to the gateway that is defined in common configurations but through the one that is specified in IP aliases.
You may also optionally define a broadcast address and a custom DNS server.
7.2.2.2.5
Backup WAN configuration
Backup WAN is a function that allows you to back up your primary connection in case it goes down. There can be two backup connections selected at the same time, in that case, when the primary connection fails, the router tries to use the backup with higher priority and if that is unavailable or fails too, then router tries the backup with the lower priority.
51
The majority of the options consist of timing and other important parameters that help determine the health of your primary connection. Regular health checks are constantly performed in the form of ICMP packets (Pings) on your primary connection. When the connection’s state starts to change (READY->NOT READY and vice versa) a necessary amount of failed or passed health checks has to be reached before the state changes completely. This delay is instituted so as to mitigate “spikes” in connection availability, but it also extends the time before the backup link can be brought up or down.
Field Name
1. Health monitor Interval
2. Health monitor ICMP host(s)
3. Health monitor ICMP timeout
4. Attempts before failover
5. Attempts before recovery
Sample value
Disable/5/10/20/30/60/120
Seconds
Disable/DNS Server(s)
/WAN GW/Custom
1/3/4/5/10 Seconds
1/3/5/10/15/20
1/3/5/10/15/20
Explanation
The interval at which health checks are performed
Indicate where to Ping for a health check. As there is no definitive way to determine when the connection to internet is down for good, you’ll have to define a host whose availability is that of the internet as a whole.
How long to wait for an ICMP request to come back. Set a higher value if your connection has high latency or high jitter (latency spikes).
How many failed checks before your WAN connection is declared DOWN for good.
How many checks before your WAN connection is declared UP.
7.2.2.3
How do I set up a backup link?
First we must select a main link and choose one or two backup links in WAN section. Then push the “Edit” button and configure your WAN and Backup Wan settings to your liking. Click Save and wait until the settings are applied. Now in the Status -> Network Information -> WAN page there should be a status indication for the backup WAN. If everything is working correctly you should see something like this:
The above picture shows the status for Backup WAN configured on a wired main link. You can now simulate a downed link by simply unplugging your Ethernet WAN cable. When you’ve done so you should see this:
And, if you plug the cable back in you should, again, see this:

7.3.2
DHCP Server
The DHCP server is the router’s side service that can automatically configure the TCP/IP settings of any device that requests such a service. If you connect a device that has been configured to obtain IP address automatically the DHCP server will lease an IP address and the device will be able to fully communicate with the router.

12
The starting address of the range that the DHCP server can use to give out to devices. E.g.: if your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1 and your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 that means that in your network a valid IP address has to be in the range of
[192.168.2.1 – 192.168.2.254](192.168.2.0 and 192.168.2.255 are special unavailable addresses). If the Start value is set to 100 then the DHCP server will only be able to lease out addresses starting from 192.168.2.100
How many addresses the DHCP server gets to lease out. Continuing on the above example: if the start address is 192.168.2.100 then the end address will be
192.168.2.254 (100 + 155 – 1 = 254).
How long a leased IP will be considered valid. An IP address after the specified amount of time will expire and the device that leased it out will have to request a new one. Select Hours or Minutes (minimum 2min).

In this section we will look over the various firewall features that come with RUT230.
7.6.1
General Settings
The router’s firewall is a standard Linux iptables package, which uses routing chains and policies to facilitate control over inbound and outbound traffic.
Field Name Sample value
1. Drop Invalid packets
Explanation
Checked/Unchecked A “Drop” action is performed on a packet that is determined to be invalid
2. Input
3. Output
Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Input chain.
Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Output chain.
4. Forward Reject/Drop/Accept DEFAULT* action that is to be performed for packets that pass through the
Forward chain.
*DEFAULT: When a packet goes through a firewall chain it is matched against all the rules for that specific chain. If no rule matches said packet, an according Action (either Drop or Reject or Accept) is performed.
Accept – Packet gets to continue down the next chain.
Drop – Packet is stopped and deleted.
Reject – Packet is stopped, deleted and, differently from Drop, an ICMP packet containing a message of rejection is sent to the source of the dropped packet.

Action to be taken for the packet if it matches the rule
Self-explanatory. Uncheck to make the rule inactive. The rule will not be deleted, but it also will not be loaded into the firewall.
When a packet arrives, it gets checked for a matching rule. If there are several rules that match the rule, the first one is applied i.e. the order of the rule list impacts how your firewall operates, therefore you are given the ability to sort your list as you wish.
You can configure firewall rule by clicking edit button.

7.6.6.4
HTTP Attack Prevention
HTTP attacks send a complete, legitimate HTTP header, which includes a 'Content-Length' field to specify the size of the message body to follow. However, the attacker then proceeds to send the actual message body at an extremely slow rate (i.e. 1 byte/110 seconds). Due to the entire message being correct and complete, the target server will attempt to obey the 'Content-Length' field in the header, and wait for the entire body of the message to be transmitted, hence slowing it down.

4. Netmask IP mask
5. Gateway
6. Metric
IP address integer
Explanation
MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 Defines the table to use for the route
MAIN/WAN/WAN2/WAN3 The zone where the target network resides
The address of the destination network
Mask that is applied to the Target to determine what actual IP addresses the routing rule applies
Where the router should send all the traffic that applies to the rule
Used as a sorting measure. If a packet about to be routed fits two rules, the one with the higher metric is applied.
Additional note on Target & Netmask: You can define a rule that applies to a single IP like this: Target - some IP;
Netmask - 255.255.255.255. Furthermore you can define a rule that applies to a segment of IPs like this: Target – an IP that STARTS the segment; Netmask – Netmask that defines how large the segment is. E.g.:
192.168.55.161 255.255.255.255
192.168.55.0 255.255.255.0

VPN
8.4.1
OpenVPN
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a method for secure data transfer through unsafe public network. This section explains how to configure OpenVPN, which is implementation of VPN supported by the RUT900 router.
A picture below demonstrates default OpenVPN configurations list, which is empty, so you have to define a new configuration to establish any sort of OpenVPN connection. To create it, enter desired configuration name in “New configuration name” field, select device role from “Role” drop down list. For example, to create an OpenVPN client with configuration name demo, select client role, name it “demo” and press “Add New” button as shown in the following picture.
81
To see at specific configuration settings press “edit” button located in newly created configuration entry. A new page with detailed configuration appears, as shown in the picture below (TLS client example).
82
You can set custom settings here according to your VPN needs. Below is summary of parameters available to set:
Field name
1. Enabled
2. TUN/TAP

LZO
11. Keep alive
Defines a transport protocol used by connection. You can choose here between TCP and UDP.
Defines TCP or UDP port number (make sure, that this port allowed by firewall).
This setting enables LZO compression. With LZO compression, your VPN connection will generate less network traffic; however, this means higher router CPU loads. Use it carefully with high rate traffic or low CPU resources.
Selects Packet encryption algorithm. 6. Encryption
7. Authentication Sets authentication mode, used to secure data sessions. Two possibilities you have here:
“Static key” means, that OpenVPN client and server will use the same secret key, which must be uploaded to the router using “Static pre-shared key” option. “TLS” authentication mode uses X.509 type certificates. Depending on your selected OpenVPN mode (client or server) you have to upload these certificates to the router:
For client: Certificate Authority (CA), Client certificate, Client key.
For server: Certificate Authority (CA), Server certificate, Server key and Diffie-Hellman (DH) certificate used to key exchange through unsafe data networks.
All mention certificates can be generated using OpenVPN or Open SSL utilities on any type host machine. Certificate generation and theory is out of scope of this user manual.
8. TLS cipher Packet encryption algorithm (cipher)
9. Remote host/IP address
10. Resolve Retry
IP address of OpenVPN server (applicable only for client configuration).
Sets time in seconds to try resolving server hostname periodically in case of first resolve failure before generating service exception.
Defines two time intervals: one is used to periodically send ICMP request to OpenVPN server, and another one defines a time window, which is used to restart OpenVPN service, if no ICPM request is received during the window time slice. Example Keep Alive “10 60”

Certificate authority is an entity that issues digital certificates. A digital certificate certifies the ownership of a public key by the named subject of the certificate.
18. Client certificate Client certificate is a type of digital certificate that is used by client systems to make authenticated requests to a remote server. Client certificates play a key role in many mutual
83
19. Client key authentication designs, providing strong assurances of a requester's identity.
Authenticating the client to the server and establishing precisely who they are
After setting any of these parameters press “Save” button. Some of selected parameters will be shown in the configuration list table. You should also be aware of the fact that router will launch separate OpenVPN service for every configuration entry (if it is defined as active, of course) so the router has ability to act as server and client at the same time.
84
8.4.2
IPSec
The IPsec protocol client enables the router to establish a secure connection to an IPsec peer via the Internet.
IPsec is supported in two modes - transport and tunnel. Transport mode creates secure point to point channel between two hosts. Tunnel mode can be used to build a secure connection between two remote LANs serving as a VPN solution.
IPsec system maintains two databases: Security Policy Database (SPD) which defines whether to apply IPsec to a packet or not and specify which/how IPsec-SA is applied and Security Association Database (SAD), which contain Key of each IPsec-SA.
The establishment of the Security Association (IPsec-SA) between two peers is needed for IPsec communication. It can be done by using manual or automated configuration.
Note: router starts establishing tunnel when data from router to remote site over tunnel is sent. For automatic tunnel establishment used tunnel Keep Alive feature.

PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows corporations to extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area communication but can securely use the public networks. This kind of interconnection is known as a virtual private network (VPN).

10 Device Recovery
The following section describes available options for recovery of malfunctioning device. Usually device can become unreachable due to power failure during firmware upgrade or if its core files were wrongly modified in the file system. Teltonika’s routers offer several options for recovering from these situations.
10.1
Reset button
Reset button is located on the back panel of the device. Reset button has several functions:
Reboot the device . After the device has started and if the reset button is pressed for up to 4 seconds the device will reboot. Start of the reboot will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with green connection status LED.
Reset to defaults . After the device has started if the reset button is pressed for at least 5 seconds the device will reset all user changes to factory defaults and reboot. To help user to determine how long the reset button should be pressed, signal strength LEDs indicates the elapsed time. All 5 lit LEDs means that 5 seconds have passed and reset button can be released. Start of the reset to defaults will be indicated by flashing of all 5 signal strength LEDs together with red connection status LED. SIM PIN on the main SIM card is the only user parameter that is kept after reset to defaults.
10.2
Bootloader’s WebUI
Bootloader also provides a way to recover the router functionality when the firmware is damaged. To make it easier to use bootloader has its own webserver that can be accessed with any web browser.
Procedure for starting bootloader’s webserver:
Automatically . It happens when bootloader does not detect master firmware. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs indicate that bootloader’s webserver has started.
Manually . Bootloader’s webserver can be requested by holding reset button for 3 seconds while powering the device on. Flashing all 4 Ethernet LEDs indicates that bootloader’s webserver has started.
Bootloader’s WebUI can be accessed by typing this address in the web browser: 192.168.1.1/index.html
Note: it may be necessary to clear web browser’s cache and to use incognito/anonymous window to access bootloader’s WebUI.

11 Glossary
WAN – Wide Area Network is a telecommunication network that covers a broad area (i.e., any network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries). Here we use the term WAN to mean the external network that the router uses to reach the internet.
LAN – A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building.
DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network configuration protocol for hosts on Internet
Protocol (IP) networks. Computers that are connected to IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other hosts. The most essential information needed is an IP address, and a default route and routing prefix. DHCP eliminates the manual task by a network administrator. It also provides a central database of devices that are connected to the network and eliminates duplicate resource assignments.
ETHERNET CABLE – Refers to the CAT5 UTP cable with an RJ-45 connector.
AP – Access point. An access point is any device that provides wireless connectivity for wireless clients. In this case, when you enable Wi-Fi on your router, your router becomes an access point.
DNS – Domain Name System. A server that translates names such as to their respective IPs. In order for your computer or router to communicate with some external server it needs to know it’s IP, its name “” just won’t do. There are special servers set in place that perform this specific task of resolving names into IPs, called Domain Name servers. If you have no DNS specified you can still browse the web, provided that you know the IP of the website you are trying to reach.
ARP – Short for Adress Resolution Protocol a used to convert an into a physical address (called a ), such as an address.
PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. PPPoE is a specification for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the internet through a common broadband medium, such as DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.
DSL – digital subscriber line - it is a family of technologies that provide internet access by transmitting digital data using a local telephone network which uses the public switched telephone network.
NAT – network address translation – an internet standard that enables a local-area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internet traffic and a second set of addresses for external traffic.
LCP – Link Control Protocol – a protocol that is part of the PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). The LCP checks the identity of the linked device and either accepts or rejects the peer device, determines the acceptable packet size for transmission, searches for errors in configuration and can terminate the link if the parameters are not satisfied.
BOOTP – Bootstrap Protocol – an internet protocol that enables a diskless workstation to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine.
This enables the workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive.
TCP – Transmission Control Protocol – one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
149
TKIP – Temporal Key Integrity Protocol – scrambles the keys using hashing algorithm and, by adding an integritychecking feature, ensure that the keys haven’t been tampered with.
CCMP – Counter Mode Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol – encryption protocol designed for Wireless LAN products that implement the standards of the IEEE 802.11i amendment to the original
IEEE802.11 standard. CCMP is an enchanted data cryptographic encapsulation designed for data confidentiality and based upon the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC (CCM) of the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) standard.
MAC – Media Access Control. Hardware address which uniquely identifies each node of the network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DCL) layer of the PSO Reference Model is divided into two sub-layers: the Logical Link
Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium.
Consequently, each different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.
DMZ – Demilitarized Zone – a computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public internet.
