TCR100 WAN

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version TCR1_R_00.07.10.2.

Summary

The WAN page is used to to set up WAN network interfaces, which are used to connect device with external networks.

This manual page provides an overview of the WAN windows in TCR100 devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

WAN

The WAN section displays WAN network interfaces currently existing on this device.

From here you can turn the interfaces, enable/disable interface's failover, create interfaces, change their priority* or enter an interface's configuration page.

---

* You can change the priority by dragging and dropping an interface to another position. Moving an interface changes its metric value in the configuration file. Interfaces that are higher on the list have greater priority.

If you hover mouse over the question mark global IPv6 addresses and IPv6 prefix delegation will be displayed.

Interface configuration

This section provides information on network interface configuration. There are {{{no_of_if}}} main types of interfaces on the device:

• Ethernet WAN
• Mobile WAN

Different types of interfaces can be configured under different protocols:

	Static	DHCP	DHCPv6	PPPoE	Mobile
Ethernet WAN
Mobile WAN

To begin configuring an interface, click the 'Edit' button on the right side of the interface:

General Setup

---

The General Setup section is used to configure the protocol of an interface and all the different parameters that go along with each protocol. If None protocol is chosen, all other interface settings will be ignored. The following sections are different for each protocol.

General Settings: Static

---

The static protocol uses a predefined manual configuration instead of obtaining parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
Enable	on | off; default: on	Enable interface.
IPv4 address	ip4; default: none	The IPv4 address interface of this interface. An IP address identifies a device on a network and allows it to communicate with other devices.
IPv4 netmask	netmask; default: 255.255.255.0	The IPv4 netmask of this interface. A netmask is used to define how "large" a network is by specifying which part of the IP address denotes the network and which part denotes a device.
IPv4 gateway	ip4; default: none	The IPv4 gateway address used by this interface. An interface's default gateway is the default address through which all outgoing traffic is directed.
IPv4 broadcast	ip4; default: none	The IPv4 broadcast address used by this interface. IP broadcasts are used by BOOTP and DHCP clients to find and send requests to their respective servers.
DNS servers	ip4; default: none	DNS server addresses that this interface will use. If left empty, DNS servers are assigned automatically. To see what DNS servers are currently used, you can check the contents of the /tmp/resolv.conf.auto file.

General Settings: DHCP

---

The DHCP protocol is used to set up an interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
Enable	on | off; default: on	Enable interface.
Hostname to send when requesting DHCP	string; default: none	A hostname for this interface used to identify this machine on the DHCP server.

General Settings: DHCPv6

---

The DHCPv6 protocol is used to set up an IPv6 interface which obtains its configuration parameters automatically via a DHCP lease.

Field	Value	Description
Enable	on | off; default: on	Enable interface.

General Settings: PPPoE

---

The PPPoE protocol is used to set up a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection over the Ethernet port.

Field	Value	Description
Enable	on | off; default: on	Enable interface.
PAP/CHAP username	string; default: none	Username used in PAP/CHAP authentication.
PAP/CHAP password	string; default: none	Password used in PAP/CHAP authentication.
Access Concentrator	string; default: none	The Access Concentrator to connect to. ISPs used Access Concentrators to route their PPPoE connections. Usually, the settings are received automatically, however in some cases it is required to specify the name for an Access Concentrator. Leave empty to detect Access Concentrators automatically.
Service name	string; default: none	The Service Name to connect to. Leave empty to detect Service name automatically.

General Settings: Mobile

---

The Mobile protocol is used to set up an interface which can establish a mobile WAN connection.

Mode: NAT

---

Field	Value	Description
Mode	NAT | Bridge | Passthrough; default: NAT	Mobile connection operating mode. NAT - the mobile connection uses NAT (network address translation). Bridge - bridges the LTE data connection with LAN. The device assigns its WAN IP address to another device (first connected to LAN or specified with MAC address). Using Bridge mode will disable most of the device’s capabilities. Passthrough - in this mode the TCR100 shares its WAN IP to a single LAN device (first connected to LAN or specified with MAC address). The LAN device will get WAN IP of TCR100 instead of LAN IP. Using Passthrough mode will disable most of the device’s capabilities.
PDP Type	IPv4 | IPv6 | IPv4/IPv6; default: IPv4/IPv6	Specifies what of address will be requested from the operator.
Auto APN	off | on; default: on	The Auto APN feature scans an internal Android APN database and selects an APN based on the SIM card's operator and country. If the first automatically selected APN doesn't work, it attempts to use the next existing APN from the database.
APN / Custom APN	string; default: none	An Access Point Name (APN) is a gateway between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile network and another computer network. Depending on the contract, some operators may require you to use an APN just to complete the registration on a network. In other cases, APN is used to get special parameters from the operator (e.g., a public IP address) depending on the contract. An APN Network Identifier cannot start with any of the following strings: rac; lac; sgsn; rnc; it cannot end in: .gprs; and it cannot contain the asterisk symbol (*).
Authentication Type	NONE | PAP | CHAP; default: NONE	Authentication method that your GSM carrier uses to authenticate new connections on its network. If you select PAP or CHAP, you will also be required to enter a username and password.

Mode: Passthrough

---

Field	Value	Description
Mode	NAT | Bridge | Passthrough; default: NAT	Mobile connection operating mode. NAT - the mobile connection uses NAT (network address translation). Bridge - bridges the LTE data connection with LAN. The device assigns its WAN IP address to another device (first connected to LAN or specified with MAC address). Using Bridge mode will disable most of the device’s capabilities. Passthrough - in this mode the TCR100 shares its WAN IP to a single LAN device (first connected to LAN or specified with MAC address). The LAN device will get WAN IP of TCR100 instead of LAN IP. Using Passthrough mode will disable most of the device’s capabilities.
Subnet selection	Auto | P2P; default: Auto	Subnet selection method.
PDP Type	IPv4 | IPv6 | IPv4/IPv6; default: IPv4	Specifies what of address will be requested from the operator.
Auto APN	off | on; default: on	The Auto APN feature scans an internal Android APN database and selects an APN based on the SIM card's operator and country. If the first automatically selected APN doesn't work, it attempts to use the next existing APN from the database.
APN / Custom APN	string; default: none	An Access Point Name (APN) is a gateway between a GSM, GPRS, 3G or 4G mobile network and another computer network. Depending on the contract, some operators may require you to use an APN just to complete the registration on a network.

An APN Network Identifier cannot start with any of the following strings: rac; lac; sgsn; rnc; it cannot end in: .gprs; and it cannot contain the asterisk symbol (*).
Authentication Type	NONE | PAP | CHAP; default: NONE	Authentication method that your GSM carrier uses to authenticate new connections on its network. If you select PAP or CHAP, you will also be required to enter a username and password.
Disable DHCP	on | off; default: on	Disables dynamic allocation of client addresses when toggled off
Lease Time	integer; default: 1	Expiry time of leased address. The minimum value for hours is 1, the minimum value for minutes is 2 and the minimum value for seconds is 120
Units	Hours | Minutes | Second; default: Hours	Specifies the time measurement unit
MAC Address	mac; default: none	Specifies the MAC address of the device that will receive the mobile interface's IP address in Bridge or Passthrough mode. Note: this field only becomes visible when using Bridge or Passthrough mode.
