capabilities to provide a reliable and cost-effective alternative solution for business continuity.
4G/LTE Mobility
The MX-210NP-R17AF is a classic 4G/LTE router with dual WAN interfaces for redundancy or
seamless failover between mobile carrier network and the wireline, an interchangeable
Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN, to ensure continuous Internet connectivity.
Seamless Wi-Fi Coverage
The MX-210NP-R17AF integrates a 802.11n access point supporting data rates of up to 300Mbps.
Security functionality includes: WEP 64/128 bit, WPA, WPA2 (PSK, TKIP and AES, 802.1X, SSID
broadcast disable and wireless MAC address filtering and MSSID with Client Isolation to enhance
the level of transmission security and access control over the Wireless LAN. The router also
supports the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard, allowing users to establish a secure wireless
network by simply pushing a button. If the network requires wider coverage, the built-in Wireless
Distribution System (WDS) repeater function allows users to expand the wireless network without the
need for any external wires or cables.

CHAPTER 3: BASIC INSTALLATION
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Windows Vista / 7 / 8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product
provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub and have TCP/IP installed or configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The
default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any
attached PC must be in the same subnet and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically
from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it
may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. Check your PC’s
network components first. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed.
If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with
or through the MX-210NP-R17AF. To configure other types of
workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.

The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
Interface Address / Prefix Length: Enter a static LAN IPv6 address. If you are not sure what to do
with this field, please leave it empty as if contains false information it could result in LAN devices not
being able to access other IPv6 device. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field
is empty.
DHCPv6 Server
There are two methods to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts, Stateless and Stateful.
Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of hosts, minimal (if any)
configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a host to generate
its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information
(prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with a
link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An
address is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure
anything on the client.
Stateful configuration, for example using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.)
In the stateful auto configuration model, hosts obtain interface addresses and/or configuration
information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server maintains a database that keeps track
of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.

DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is
available.
 Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN
are configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using
a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised
by routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
 Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses
and DNS information from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the
prefix and the interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.
End interface ID: enter the end interface ID.
Leased Time (seconds): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned
to clients, when expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.
Router Advertisement: Check to Enable or Disable the Issue Router Advertisement feature. This
feature is to send Router Advertisement messages periodically which would multicast the IPv6 Prefix
information (similar to v4 network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will
be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised
to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application
requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from
the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual
Server function will hence be invalid.
Attention
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning
the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest
way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to
each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP
addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the
virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as
the router.

Advanced Setup – VRRP
72
VRRP
VRRP is designed to eliminate the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed
environment. VRRP specifies an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for a virtual
router to one of the VRRP routers in a LAN. The VRRP router controlling the IP address associated
with a virtual router is called the Master, and forwards packets sent to these IP addresses. The election
process provides dynamic fail-over in the forwarding responsibility should the Master become
unavailable. Any of the virtual router's IP addresses in a LAN can then be used as the default first hop
router by end-hosts. The advantage gained from using VRRP is a higher availability default path
without requiring configuration of dynamic routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host.
VRRP: Click to activate the feature.
VRID: Virtual Router Identifier, range from 1-255 (decimal). A master or backup router running the
VRRP protocol may participate in one VRID instance.
Priority: Specifies the sending VRRP router's priority for the virtual router. Higher values equal higher
priority. The priority value for the VRRP router that owns the IP address associated with the virtual
router MUST be 255. VRRP routers backing up a virtual router MUST use priority values between 1
and 254. The default priority value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100. The priority
value zero (0) has special meaning indicating that the current Master has stopped participating in
VRRP. This is used to trigger Backup routers to quickly transition to Master without having to wait for
the current Master to timeout.
Preempt Mode: When preempt mode is activated, a backup router always takes over the
responsibility of the master router. When deactivated, the lower priority backup is left in the master
state.

Access Management – UPnP
82
Universal Plug & Play
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control
and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers
through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much
easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control
advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the
router.
UPnP: Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use an UPnP application
to open the web configuration’s login screen without entering the MX-210NP-R17AF's IP address
Auto-configured: Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically
configure the MX-210NP-R17AF so that they can communicate through the MX-210NP-R17AF, for
example by using NAT traversal, UPnP applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in
order to communicate with another UPnP enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually
configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application.

Access Management – DDNS
83
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may
use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by
your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS Providers.
If you do not have a DDNS account, please choose a DDNS Service Provider from the list then go to
their website to create an account first.
Dynamic DNS: Select this check box to activate Dynamic DNS.
Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example:
www.dyndns.org.
My Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your MX-210NP-R17AF by your Dynamic DNS
provider.

CWMP (TR-069)
CWMP, short for CPE WAN Management Protocol, also called TR069 is a Broadband Forum technical
specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer
protocol for remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for
remote management of end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer
premises equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration
and the control of other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of
the booming broadband market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g.
modems, routers, gateways, set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the configuration of this
equipment became more complicated –too complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was
developed. It provides the possibility of auto configuration of the access types. Using TR-069 the
terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration
automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically.
