In case of a network address conflict with remote peers (i.e. SpeedFusion VPN / IPsec VPN / IP
Forwarding WAN are considered as remote connections), you can define Virtual Network
Mapping to resolve it.
Note: OSPF & RIPv2 settings should be updated as well to avoid advertising conflicted networks.
For further details on virtual network mapping watch this video:
https://youtu.be/C1FMdZCn3Z8
Virtual Network Mapping
One-to-One NAT
Every IP Address in the Local Network has a corresponding unique Virtual IP
Address for NAT.
Traffic originating from the Local Network to remote connections will be SNAT'ed
and behave like coming from the defined Virtual Network.
While traffic initiated by remote peers to the Virtual Network will be DNAT'ed
accordingly.
Many-to-One NAT
The subnet range defined in Local Network will be mapped to a single Virtual IP
Address for NAT. Traffic can only be initiated from local to remote, and these
traffic will be NAT'ed and behaves like coming from the same Virtual IP Address.

this option.
DNS Servers
Each ISP may provide a set of DNS servers for DNS lookups. This setting
specifies the DNS (Domain Name System) servers to be used when a DNS
lookup is routed through this connection.
Selecting Obtain DNS server address automatically results in the DNS
servers being assigned by the WAN DHCP server to be used for outbound
DNS lookups over the connection. (The DNS servers are obtained along with
the WAN IP address assigned from the DHCP server.)

IP Passthrough
When this IP Passthrough option is active, after the ethernet WAN
connection is up, the router's DHCP server will offer the connection's IP
address to one LAN client. All incoming or outgoing traffic will be routed
without NAT.
Regardless the WAN connection's state, the router always binds to the LAN
IP address (Default: 192.168.50.1). So when the ethernet WAN is connected,
the LAN client could access the router's web admin by manually configuring
its IP address to the same subnet as the router's LAN IP address (e.g.
192.168.50.10).
Note: when this option is firstly enabled, the LAN client may not be able to
refresh its IP address to the ethernet WAN IP address in a timely fashion.
The LAN client may have to manually renew its IP address from DHCP
server. After this option is enabled, the DHCP lease time will be 2 minutes.
I.e. the LAN client could refresh its IP address and access the network at
most one minute after the ethernet WAN connection goes up.
Standby State
This option allows you to choose whether to remain connected when this
WAN connection is no longer in the highest priority and has entered the
standby state. When Remain connected is chosen, upon bringing up this
WAN connection to active, it will be immediately available for use.
If this WAN connection is charged by connection time, you may want to set
this option to Disconnect so that connection will be made only when needed.
SpeedFusion VPN may use connected standby WAN for failover if link failure
detected on the higher priority WAN, you can set this option to Disconnect to
avoid data passing through.

assigned by the WAN DHCP server being used for outbound DNS lookups over the
connection. (The DNS servers are obtained along with the WAN IP address assigned
by the DHCP server.)
When Use the following DNS server address(es) is selected, you may enter custom
DNS server addresses for this WAN connection into the DNS server 1 and DNS
server 2 fields.
IP Passthrough
When this IP Passthrough option is active, after the cellular WAN connection is up,
the router's DHCP server will offer the connection's IP address to one LAN client. All
incoming or outgoing traffic will be routed without NAT.
Regardless the WAN connection's state, the router always binds to the LAN IP
address (Default: 192.168.50.1). So when the cellular WAN is connected, the LAN
client could access the router's web admin by manually configuring its IP address to
the same subnet as the router's LAN IP address (e.g. 192.168.50.10).
Note: when this option is firstly enabled, the LAN client may not be able to refresh its
IP address to the cellular WAN IP address in a timely fashion. The LAN client may
have to manually renew its IP address from DHCP server. After this option is enabled,
the DHCP lease time will be 2 minutes. I.e. the LAN client could refresh its IP address
and access the network at most one minute after the cellular WAN connection goes
up
Standby State
This option allows you to choose whether to remain connected or disconnected when
this WAN connection is no longer in the highest priority and has entered the standby
state. When Remain connected is chosen, bringing up this WAN connection to active
makes it immediately available for use.
Idle Disconnect
If this is checked, the connection will disconnect when idle after the configured Time
value.
This option is disabled by default.

8.4 WAN Connection Settings (Common)
The remaining WAN-related settings are common to the WAN connection:
Physical Interface Settings
Speed
This is the port speed of the WAN connection. It should be set to the same speed
as the connected device in case of any port negotiation problems.
When a static speed is set, you may choose whether to advertise its speed to the
peer device or not. Advertise Speed is selected by default. You can choose not to
advertise the port speed if the port has difficulty in negotiating with the peer device.
Default: Auto
MTU
This field is for specifying the Maximum Transmission Unit value of the WAN
connection. An excessive MTU value can cause file downloads stall shortly after
connected. You may consult your ISP for the connection's MTU value. Default
value is 1440.
MSS
This field is for specifying the Maximum Segment Size of the WAN connection.
When Auto is selected, MSS will be depended on the MTU value. When Custom is
selected, you may enter a value for MSS. This value will be announced to remote
TCP servers for maximum data that it can receive during the establishment of TCP
connections.
Some Internet servers are unable to listen to MTU setting if ICMP is filtered by
firewall between the connections.
Normally, MSS equals to MTU minus 40. You are recommended to reduce the MSS
only if changing of the MTU value cannot effectively inform some remote servers to
size down data size.
Default: Auto
MAC Address
Clone
Some service providers (e.g. cable network) identify the client's MAC address and
require client to always use the same MAC address to connect to the network. If it
is the case, you may change the WAN interface's MAC address to the client PC's
one by entering the PC's MAC address to this field. If you are not sure, click the
Default button to restore to the default value.

VLAN
Check the box to assign a VLAN to the interface.
8.5 WAN Health Check
To ensure traffic is routed to healthy WAN connections only, the Pepwave router can periodically
check the health of each WAN connection. The health check settings for each WAN connection
can be independently configured via Network > WAN Connection Name
Health Check Settings
Method
This setting specifies the health check method for the WAN connection. This value
can be configured as Disabled, PING, DNS Lookup, or HTTP. The default
method is DNS Lookup. For mobile Internet connections, the value of Method
can be configured as Disabled or SmartCheck.
Health Check Disabled
When Disabled is chosen in the Method field, the WAN connection will always be considered as up.
The connection will NOT be treated as down in the event of IP routing errors.
Health Check Method: PING
ICMP ping packets will be issued to test the connectivity with a configurable target IP address or
hostname. A WAN connection is considered as up if ping responses are received from either one or both
of the ping hosts.
PING Hosts
This setting specifies IP addresses or hostnames with which connectivity is to be
tested via ICMP ping. If Use first two DNS servers as Ping Hosts is checked,
the target ping host will be the first DNS server for the corresponding WAN
connection. Reliable ping hosts with a high uptime should be considered. By
default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN connection are used as the ping
hosts.
Health Check Method: DNS Lookup
https://www.peplink.com
71
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
DNS lookups will be issued to test connectivity with target DNS servers. The connection will be treated
as up if DNS responses are received from one or both of the servers, regardless of whether the result
was positive or negative.
Health Check
DNS Servers
This field allows you to specify two DNS hosts’ IP addresses with which
connectivity is to be tested via DNS lookup.
If Use first two DNS servers as Health Check DNS Servers is checked, the first
two DNS servers will be the DNS lookup targets for checking a connection's
health. If the box is not checked, Host 1 must be filled, while a value for Host 2 is
optional.
If Include public DNS servers is selected and no response is received from all
specified DNS servers, DNS lookups will also be issued to some public DNS
servers. A WAN connection will be treated as down only if there is also no
response received from the public DNS servers.
Connections will be considered as up if DNS responses are received from any one
of the health check DNS servers, regardless of a positive or negative result. By
default, the first two DNS servers of the WAN connection are used as the health
check DNS servers.
Health Check Method: HTTP
HTTP connections will be issued to test connectivity with configurable URLs and strings to match.
URL1
WAN Settings>WAN Edit>Health Check Settings>URL1
The URL will be retrieved when performing an HTTP health check. When String
to Match is left blank, a health check will pass if the HTTP return code is between
200 and 299 (Note: HTTP redirection codes 301 or 302 are treated as failures).
When String to Match is filled, a health check will pass if the HTTP return code is
between 200 and 299 and if the HTTP response content contains the string.
URL 2
WAN Settings>WAN Edit>Health Check Settings>URL2
If URL2 is also provided, a health check will pass if either one of the tests passed.
https://www.peplink.com
72
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Other Health Check Settings
Timeout
This setting specifies the timeout in seconds for ping/DNS lookup requests. The
default timeout is 5 seconds.
Health Check
Interval
This setting specifies the time interval in seconds between ping or DNS lookup
requests. The default health check interval is 5 seconds.
Health Check
Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive ping/DNS lookup timeouts after
which the Pepwave router will treat the corresponding WAN connection as down.
Default health retries is set to 3. Using the default Health Retries setting of 3, the
corresponding WAN connection will be treated as down after three consecutive
timeouts.
Recovery Retries
This setting specifies the number of consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup
responses that must be received before the Pepwave router treats a previously
down WAN connection as up again. By default, Recover Retries is set to 3. Using
the default setting, a WAN connection that is treated as down will be considered
as up again upon receiving three consecutive successful ping/DNS lookup
responses.
Automatic Public DNS Server Check on DNS Test Failure
When the health check method is set to DNS Lookup and health checks fail, the Pepwave router will
automatically perform DNS lookups on public DNS servers. If the tests are successful, the WAN may not
be down, but rather the target DNS server malfunctioned. You will see the following warning message on
the main page:

8.7 Additional Public IP address
Additional Public IP Settings
IP Address List
IP Address List represents the list of fixed Internet IP addresses assigned by the
ISP in the event that more than one Internet IP address is assigned to this WAN
connection. Enter the fixed Internet IP addresses and the corresponding subnet
mask, and then click the Down Arrow button to populate IP address entries to the
IP Address List.
8.8 Dynamic DNS Settings
Pepwave routers are capable of registering the domain name relationships to dynamic DNS
service providers. Through registration with dynamic DNS service provider(s), the default public
Internet IP address of each WAN connection can be associated with a host name. With dynamic
DNS service enabled for a WAN connection, you can connect to your WAN's IP address from
the external, even if its IP address is dynamic. You must register for an account from the listed
dynamic DNS service providers before enabling this option.
If the WAN connection's IP address is a reserved private IP address (i.e., behind a NAT router),
the public IP of each WAN will be automatically reported to the DNS service provider.
Either upon a change in IP addresses or every 23 days without link reconnection, the Pepwave
router will connect to the dynamic DNS service provider to perform an IP address update within
the provider’s records.
The settings for dynamic DNS service provider(s) and the association of hostname(s) are
configured via Network > WAN > Details > Dynamic DNS Service Provider/Dynamic DNS
Settings.
https://www.peplink.com
75
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Dynamic DNS Settings
Dynamic DNS
This setting specifies the dynamic DNS service provider to be used for the
WAN based on supported dynamic DNS service providers:
● Disabled
● changeip.com
● dyndns.org
● no-ip.org
● DNS-O-Matic
● Others…
Support custom Dynamic DNS servers by entering its URL. Works with any
service compatible with DynDNS API.
Select Disabled to disable this feature.
User ID/ Username
/ Email
This setting specifies the registered user name for the dynamic DNS service.
Password
This setting specifies the password for the dynamic DNS service.
Hosts
This field allows you to specify a list of host names or domains to be
associated with the public Internet IP address of the WAN connection. If you
need to enter more than one host, use a carriage return to separate them.
Important Note
In order to use dynamic DNS services, appropriate host name registration(s) and a valid account with a
supported dynamic DNS service provider are required. A dynamic DNS update is performed whenever
a WAN’s IP address changes (e.g., the IP is changed after a DHCP IP refresh, reconnection, etc.). Due
to dynamic DNS service providers’ policy, a dynamic DNS host will automatically expire if the host
record has not been updated for a long time. Therefore the Pepwave router performs an update every
23 days, even if a WAN’s IP address has not changed.

9 SpeedFusion VPN
Pepwave bandwidth bonding SpeedFusion
TM
is our patented technology that enables our
SD-WAN routers to bond multiple Internet connections to increase site-to-site bandwidth and
reliability. SpeedFusion functionality securely connects your Pepwave router to another
Pepwave or Peplink device (Peplink Balance 210/310/380/580/710/1350 only). Data, voice, or
video communications between these locations are kept confidential across the public Internet.
Bandwidth bonding SpeedFusion
TM
is specifically designed for multi-WAN environments. In case
of failures and network congestion at one or more WANs, other WANs can be used to continue
carrying the network traffic.
Different models of our SD-WAN routers have different numbers of site-to-site connections
allowed. End-users who need to have more site-to-site connections can purchase a
SpeedFusion license to increase the number of site-to-site connections allowed.
Pepwave routers can aggregate all WAN connections’ bandwidth for routing SpeedFusion
TM
traffic. Unless all the WAN connections of one site are down, Pepwave routers can keep the
VPN up and running.
VPN bandwidth bonding is supported in Firmware 5.1 or above. All available bandwidth will be
utilized to establish the VPN tunnel, and all traffic will be load balanced at packet level across all
links. VPN bandwidth bonding is enabled by default.

9.1 SpeedFusion VPN
To configure SpeedFusion VPN, navigate to Advanced > SpeedFusion VPN.
The local LAN subnet and subnets behind the LAN (defined under Static Route on the LAN
settings page) will be advertised to the VPN. All VPN members (branch offices and
headquarters) will be able to route to local subnets.
Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be unique. Otherwise, VPN
members will not be able to access each other.
All data can be routed over the VPN using the 256-bit AES encryption standard. To configure,
navigate to Advanced > SpeedFusion VPN and click the New Profile button to create a new
VPN profile (you may have to first save the displayed default profile in order to access the New
Profile button). Each profile specifies the settings for making VPN connection with one remote
Pepwave or Peplink device. Note that available settings vary by model.
A list of defined SpeedFusion
connection profiles and a Link Failure Detection Time option will
be shown. Click the New Profile button to create a new VPN connection profile for making a
VPN connection to a remote Pepwave or Peplink device via the available WAN connections.
Each profile is for making a VPN connection with one remote Pepwave or Peplink Device.

This field is for specifying a name to represent this profile. The name can be any
combination of alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z), underscores (_), dashes
(-), and/or non-leading/trailing spaces ( ).
Enable
When this box is checked, this VPN connection profile will be enabled. Otherwise,
it will be disabled.
Encryption
By default, VPN traffic is encrypted with 256-bit AES. If Off is selected on both
sides of a VPN connection, no encryption will be applied.
Authentication
Select from By Remote ID Only, Preshared Key, or X.509 to specify the method
the Pepwave MAX will use to authenticate peers. When selecting By Remote ID
Only, be sure to enter a unique peer ID number in the Remote ID field.
Remote ID /
Pre-shared Key
This optional field becomes available when Remote ID / Pre-shared Key is
selected as the Pepwave router’s VPN Authentication method, as explained
above. Pre-shared Key defines the pre-shared key used for this particular VPN
connection. The VPN connection's session key will be further protected by the
pre-shared key. The connection will be up only if the pre-shared keys on each side
match. When the peer is running firmware 5.0+, this setting will be ignored.
https://www.peplink.com

connections using X.509 certificates, copy and paste certificate details into these
fields. To get more information on a listed X.509 certificate, click the Show Details
link below the field.
Allow Shared
Remote ID
When this option is enabled, the router will allow multiple peers to run using the
same remote ID.
NAT Mode
Check this box to allow the local DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
remote peer. When NAT Mode is enabled, all remote traffic over the VPN will be
tagged with the assigned IP address using network address translation.
Remote IP
Address / Host
Names
(Optional)
If NAT Mode is not enabled, you can enter a remote peer’s WAN IP address or
hostname(s) here. If the remote uses more than one address, enter only one of
them here. Multiple hostnames are allowed and can be separated by a space
character or carriage return. Dynamic-DNS host names are also accepted.
This field is optional. With this field filled, the Pepwave MAX will initiate connection
to each of the remote IP addresses until it succeeds in making a connection. If the
field is empty, the Pepwave MAX will wait for connection from the remote peer.
Therefore, at least one of the two VPN peers must specify this value. Otherwise,
VPN connections cannot be established.
Cost
Define path cost for this profile.
OSPF will determine the best route through the network using the assigned cost.
Default: 10
Data Port
This field is used to specify a UDP port number for transporting outgoing VPN
data. If Default is selected, UDP port 4500 will be used. Port 32015 will be used if
the remote unit uses Firmware prior to version 5.4 or if port 4500 is unavailable. If
Custom is selected, enter an outgoing port number from 1 to 65535.
Click the icon to configure data stream using TCP protocol
[EXPERIMENTAL].In the case TCP protocol is used, the exposed TCP session
option can be authorised to work with TCP accelerated WAN link.
Bandwidth Limit
Define maximum download and upload speed to each individual peer. This
functionality requires the peer to use SpeedFusion VPN version 4.0.0 or above.
WAN Smoothing
While using SpeedFusion VPN, utilize multiple WAN links to reduce the impact of
packet loss and get the lowest possible latency at the expense of extra bandwidth
consumption. This is suitable for streaming applications where the average bitrate
requirement is much lower than the WAN's available bandwidth.
https://www.peplink.com
80
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Off - Disable WAN Smoothing.
Normal - The total bandwidth consumption will be at most 2x of the original data
traffic.
Medium - The total bandwidth consumption will be at most 3x of the original data
traffic.
High - The total bandwidth consumption depends on the number of connected
active tunnels.
Forward Error
Correction
Forward Error Correction (FEC) can help to recover packet loss by using extra
bandwidth to send redundant data packets. Higher FEC level will recover packets
on a higher loss rate link.
The expected overhead of Low is 13.3% and High is 26.7%.
Require peer using SpeedFusion VPN version 8.0.0 and above.
Receive Buffer
Receive Buffer can help to reduce out-of-order packets and jitter, but will introduce
extra latency to the tunnel. Default is 0 ms, which disables the buffer, and
maximum buffer size is 2000 ms.
Packet
Fragmentation
If the packet size is larger than the tunnel's MTU, it will be fragmented inside the
tunnel in order to pass through.
Select Always to fragment any packets that are too large to send, or Use DF Flag
to only fragment packets with Don't Fragment bit cleared. This can be useful if
your application does Path MTU Discovery, usually sending large packets with DF
bit set, if allowing them to go through by fragmentation, the MTU will not be
detected correctly.
Use IP ToS

Checking this button enables the use of IP ToS header field.
Latency
Difference
Cutoff
A
Traffic will be stopped for links that exceed the specified millisecond value with
respect to the lowest latency link. (e.g. Lowest latency is 100ms, a value of 500ms
means links with latency 600ms or more will not be used)

Traffic Distribution
Policy
This option allows you to select the desired out-bound traffic distribution policy:
● Bonding - Aggregate multiple WAN-to-WAN links into a single higher
throughput tunnel.
● Dynamic Weighted Bonding - Aggregates WAN-to-WAN links with similar
latencies.
By default, Bonding is selected as a traffic distribution policy.
Congestion
Latency Level
For most WANs, especially on cellular networks, the latency will increase when the
link becomes more congested.
Setting the Congestion Latency Level to Low will treat the link as congested
more aggressively.
Setting it to High will allow the latency to increase more before treating it as
congested.
Ignore Packet
Loss Event
By default, when there is packet loss, it is considered as a congestion event. If this
is not the case, select this option to ignore the packet loss event.
Disable
Bufferbloat
Handling
Bufferbloat is a phenomenon on the WAN side when it is congested. The latency
can become very high due to buffering on the uplink. By default, the Dynamic
Weighted Bonding policy will try its best to mitigate bufferbloat by reducing TCP
throughput when the WAN is congested. However, as a side effect, the tunnel
might not achieve maximum bandwidth.
Selecting this option will disable the bufferbloat handling mentioned above.
Disable TCP
ACK
Optimization
By default, TCP ACK will be forwarded to remote peers as fast as possible. This
will consume more bandwidth, but may help to improve TCP performance as well.
Selecting this option will disable the TCP ACK optimization mentioned above.
Packet Jitter
Buffer
The default jitter buffer is 150ms, and can be modified from 0ms to 500ms. The
jitter buffer may increase the tunnel latency. If you want to keep the latency as low
as possible, you can set it to 0ms to disable the buffer.
Note: If the Receive Buffer is set, the Packet Jitter Buffer will be automatically
disabled.

Detection Time
The bonded VPN can detect routing failures on the path between two sites over
each WAN connection. Failed WAN connections will not be used to route VPN
traffic. Health check packets are sent to the remote unit to detect any failure. The
more frequently checks are sent, the shorter the detection time, although more
bandwidth will be consumed.
When Recommended (default) is selected, a health check packet is sent every
five seconds, and the expected detection time is 15 seconds.
When Fast is selected, a health check packet is sent every three seconds, and the
expected detection time is six seconds.
When Faster is selected, a health check packet is sent every second, and the

Important Note
Peplink proprietary SpeedFusion
TM
uses TCP port 32015 and UDP port 4500 for establishing VPN connections. If
you have a firewall in front of your Pepwave devices, you will need to add firewall rules for these ports and protocols
to allow inbound and outbound traffic to pass through the firewall.

9.2 The Pepwave Router Behind a NAT Router
Pepwave routers support establishing SpeedFusion
TM
over WAN connections which are behind
a NAT (network address translation) router.
To enable a WAN connection behind a NAT router to accept VPN connections, you can
configure the NAT router in front of the WAN connection to inbound port-forward TCP port
32015 to the Pepwave router.
If one or more WAN connections on Unit A can accept VPN connections (by means of port
forwarding or not), while none of the WAN connections on the peer Unit B can do so, you should
enter all of Unit A’s public IP addresses or hostnames into Unit B’s Remote IP Addresses /
Host Names field. Leave the field in Unit A blank. With this setting, a SpeedFusion
TM
connection
can be set up and all WAN connections on both sides will be utilized.
See the following diagram for an example of this setup in use:
One of the WANs connected to Router A is non-NAT’d (212.1.1.1). The rest of the WANs
connected to Router A and all WANs connected to Router B are NAT’d. In this case, the Peer IP
Addresses / Host Names field for Router B should be filled with all of Router A’s hostnames or
public IP addresses (i.e., 212.1.1.1, 212.2.2.2, and 212.3.3.3), and the field in Router A can be
left blank. The two NAT routers on WAN1 and WAN3 connected to Router A should inbound
port-forward TCP port 32015 to Router A so that all WANs will be utilized in establishing the
VPN.

10 IPsec VPN
IPsec VPN functionality securely connects one or more branch offices to your company's main
headquarters or to other branches. Data, voice, and video communications between these
locations are kept safe and confidential across the public Internet.
IPsec VPN on Pepwave routers is specially designed for multi-WAN environments. For instance,
if a user sets up multiple IPsec profiles for a multi-WAN environment and WAN1 is connected
and healthy, IPsec traffic will go through this link. However, should unforeseen problems (e.g.,
unplugged cables or ISP problems) cause WAN1 to go down, our IPsec implementation will
make use of WAN2 and WAN3 for failover.
10.1 IPsec VPN Settings
Many Pepwave products can make multiple IPsec VPN connections with Peplink, Pepwave,
Cisco, and Juniper routers. Note that all LAN subnets and the subnets behind them must be
unique. Otherwise, VPN members will not be able to access each other. All data can be routed
over the VPN with a selection of encryption standards, such as 3DES, AES-128, and AES-256.
To configure IPsec VPN on Pepwave devices that support it, navigate to Advanced>IPsec
VPN.
Click the New Profile button to create new IPsec VPN profiles that make VPN connections to
remote Pepwave, Cisco, or Juniper routers via available WAN connections. To edit any of the
profiles, click on its associated connection name in the leftmost column.

Policy-based - (default) All the matched traffic as defined in Local Networks and
Remote Networks will be routed to this IPsec connection, this cannot be
overridden by other routing methods.
Route-based - Outbound Policy rule is required to route traffic to this tunnel and
comes with more flexibility to control how to route traffic compared to
Policy-based. If you want to modify the traffic selector instead of using the
default (0.0.0.0/0).
Note: This option is available for certain following models only:
● MAX: BR1 ENT, Transit, 700 HW3 or above, HD2 HW5 or above, HD4
Local Networks
Enter the local LAN subnets here. If you have defined static routes, they will be
shown here.
Using NAT, you can map a specific local network / IP address to another, and the
packets received by remote gateway will appear to be coming from the mapped
network / IP address. This allow you to establish IPsec connection to a remote
site that has one or more subnets overlapped with local site.
Two types of NAT policies can be defined:
One-to-One NAT policy: if the defined subnet in Local Network and NAT Network
has the same size, for example, policy "192.168.50.0/24 > 172.16.1.0/24" will
translate the local IP address 192.168.50.10 to 172.16.1.10 and 192.168.50.20
to 172.16.1.20. This is a bidirectional mapping which means clients in remote
site can initiate connection to the local clients using the mapped address too.
Many-to-One NAT policy: if the defined NAT Network on the right hand side is an
IP address (or having a network prefix /32), for example, policy "192.168.1.0/24
> 172.168.50.1/32" will translate all clients in 192.168.1.0/24 network to
172.168.50.1. This is a unidirectional mapping which means clients in remote
site will not be able to initiate connection to the local clients.

is no valid reason to refuse PFS, the system will allow the connection to use
PFS if requested by the remote peer. This is the default value.

12 Outbound Policy
Pepwave routers can flexibly manage and load balance outbound traffic among WAN
connections.
Important Note
Outbound policy is applied only when more than one WAN connection is active.
The settings for managing and load balancing outbound traffic are located at
Advanced > Outbound Policy.
12.1 Adding Rules for Outbound Policy
The menu underneath enables you to define Outbound policy rules:
The bottom-most rule is Default. Edit this rule to change the device’s default manner of controlling
outbound traffic for all connections that do not match any of the rules above it. Under the Service
heading, click Default to change these settings.
To rearrange the priority of outbound rules, drag and drop them into the desired sequence.
https://www.peplink.com
95
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
By default, Auto is selected as the Default Rule. You can select Custom to change the algorithm to be
used. Please refer to the upcoming sections for the details on the available algorithms.
To create a custom rule, click Add Rule at the bottom of the table.
https://www.peplink.com
96
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
New Custom Rule Settings
Service Name
This setting specifies the name of the outbound traffic rule.
Enable
This setting specifies whether the outbound traffic rule takes effect. When Enable is
checked, the rule takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by the Pepwave
router based on the other parameters of the rule. When Enable is unchecked, the rule does
not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the other parameters of the rule.
Click the drop-down menu next to the checkbox to apply a time schedule to this custom
rule.
Source
This setting specifies the source IP Address, IP Network, MAC Address or Grouped
Network for traffic that matches the rule.
Destination
This setting specifies the destination IP address, IP network, Domain name, SpeedFusion
Cloud, SpeedFusion VPN Profile or Grouped network for traffic that matches the rule.
https://www.peplink.com
97
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
If Domain Name is chosen and a domain name, such as foobar.com, is entered, any
outgoing accesses to foobar.com and *.foobar.com will match this criterion. You may enter
a wildcard (.*) at the end of a domain name to match any host with a name having the
domain name in the middle. If you enter foobar.*, for example, www.foobar.com,
www.foobar.co.jp, or foobar.co.uk will also match. Placing wildcards in any other position is
not supported.
Note: if a server has one Internet IP address and multiple server names, and if one of the
names is defined here, access to any one of the server names will also match this rule.
Protocol and Port
This setting specifies the IP protocol and port of traffic that matches this rule. Via a
drop-down menu, the following protocols can be specified:
● Any
● TCP
● UDP
● IP
● DSCP
Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to automatically
fill in the protocol and port number of common Internet services (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS, etc.)
After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu, the protocol
and port number remains manually modifiable.
Algorithm
This setting specifies the behavior of the Pepwave router for the custom rule.
One of the following values can be selected (Note that some Pepwave routers provide only
some of these options):
● Weighted Balance
● Persistence
● Enforced
● Priority
● Overflow
● Least Used
● Lowest Latency
● Fastest Response Time

just like this rule is inactive.
Terminate
Sessions on
Connection
Recovery
This setting specifies whether to terminate existing IP sessions on a less preferred WAN
connection in the event that a more preferred WAN connection is recovered. This setting is
applicable to the Priority algorithms. By default, this setting is disabled. In this case,
existing IP sessions will not be terminated or affected when any other WAN connection is
recovered. When this setting is enabled, existing IP sessions may be terminated when
another WAN connection is recovered, such that only the preferred healthy WAN
connection(s) is used at any point in time.
12.1.1 Algorithm: Weighted Balance
This setting specifies the ratio of WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP
protocol and port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Weighted Balance.
The amount of matching traffic that is distributed to a WAN connection is proportional to the
weight of the WAN connection relative to the total weight. Use the sliders to change each WAN’s
weight.
For example, with the following weight settings:
● Ethernet WAN1: 10
● Ethernet WAN2: 10
● Wi-Fi WAN: 10
● Cellular 1: 10
● Cellular 2: 10
https://www.peplink.com
99
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
● USB: 10
Total weight is 60 = (10 +10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10).
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60 x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Ethernet WAN2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Wi-Fi WAN is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 1 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to Cellular 2 is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
Matching traffic distributed to USB is 16.7% = (10 / 60) x 100%.
12.1.2 Algorithm: Persistence
The configuration of persistent services is the solution to the few situations where link load
distribution for Internet services is undesirable. For example, for security reasons, many
e-banking and other secure websites terminate the session when the client computer’s Internet
IP address changes mid-session.
In general, different Internet IP addresses represent different computers. The security concern is
that an IP address change during a session may be the result of an unauthorized intrusion
attempt. Therefore, to prevent damages from the potential intrusion, the session is terminated
upon the detection of an IP address change.
Pepwave routers can be configured to distribute data traffic across multiple WAN connections.
Also, the Internet IP depends on the WAN connections over which communication actually takes
place. As a result, a LAN client computer behind the Pepwave router may communicate using
multiple Internet IP addresses. For example, a LAN client computer behind a Pepwave router
with three WAN connections may communicate on the Internet using three different IP
addresses.
With the persistence feature, rules can be configured to enable client computers to persistently
utilize the same WAN connections for e-banking and other secure websites. As a result, a client
computer will communicate using one IP address, eliminating the issues mentioned above.
https://www.peplink.com
100
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
There are two persistent modes: By Source and By Destination.
By Source:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule and
originating from the same machine, regardless of its destination. This option
will provide the highest level of application compatibility.
By Destination:
The same WAN connection will be used for traffic matching the rule,
originating from the same machine, and going to the same destination. This
option can better distribute loads to WAN connections when there are only a
few client machines.
The default mode is By Source. When there are multiple client requests, they can be distributed
(persistently) to WAN connections with a weight. If you choose Auto in Load Distribution, the
weights will be automatically adjusted according to each WAN’s Downstream Bandwidth which
is specified in the WAN settings page). If you choose Custom, you can customize the weight of
each WAN manually by using the sliders.
12.1.3 Algorithm: Enforced
This setting specifies the WAN connection usage to be applied on the specified IP protocol and
port. This setting is applicable only when Algorithm is set to Enforced.
Matching traffic will be routed through the specified WAN connection, regardless of the health
check status of the WAN connection. Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be
enforced to go through a specified SpeedFusion
TM
connection.
12.1.4 Algorithm: Priority
This setting specifies the priority of the WAN connections used to route the specified network
service. The highest priority WAN connection available will always be used for routing the
specified type of traffic. A lower priority WAN connection will be used only when all higher
priority connections have become unavailable.
https://www.peplink.com
101
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Starting from Firmware 5.2, outbound traffic can be prioritized to go through SpeedFusion
TM
connection(s). By default, VPN connections are not included in the priority list.
Tip
Configure multiple distribution rules to accommodate different kinds of services.
12.1.5 Algorithm: Overflow
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that has the
highest priority and is not in full load. When this connection gets saturated, new sessions will be
routed to the next healthy WAN connection that is not in full load.
Drag and drop to specify the order of WAN connections to be used for routing traffic. Only the
highest priority healthy connection that is not in full load will be used.
https://www.peplink.com
102
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
12.1.6 Algorithm: Least Used
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected
in Connection and has the most available download bandwidth. The available download
bandwidth of a WAN connection is calculated from the total download bandwidth specified on
the WAN settings page and the current download usage. The available bandwidth and WAN
selection is determined every time an IP session is made.
12.1.7 Algorithm: Lowest Latency
The traffic matching this rule will be routed through the healthy WAN connection that is selected
in Connection and has the lowest latency. Latency checking packets are issued periodically to
a nearby router of each WAN connection to determine its latency value. The latency of a WAN is
the packet round trip time of the WAN connection. Additional network usage may be incurred as
a result.
Tip
The roundtrip time of a 6M down/640k uplink can be higher than that of a 2M down/2M up link because
the overall round trip time is lengthened by its slower upload bandwidth, despite its higher downlink
speed. Therefore, this algorithm is good for two scenarios:
● All WAN connections are symmetric; or
● A latency sensitive application must be routed through the lowest latency WAN, regardless of
the WAN’s available bandwidth.

12.1.8 Expert Mode
Expert Mode is available on some Pepwave routers for use by
advanced users. To enable the feature, click on the help icon and click
turn on Expert Mode.
In Expert Mode, a new special rule, SpeedFusion
TM
Routes, is
displayed in the Custom Rules table. This rule represents all
SpeedFusion
TM
routes learned from remote VPN peers. By default, this
bar is on the top of all custom rules. This position means that traffic for
remote VPN subnets will be routed to the corresponding VPN
peer. You can create custom Priority or Enforced rules and move
them
above the bar to override the SpeedFusion
TM
routes.
Upon disabling Expert Mode, all rules above the bar will be removed.

13 Port Forwarding
Pepwave routers can act as a firewall that blocks, by default, all inbound access from the
Internet. By using port forwarding, Internet users can access servers behind the Pepwave
router. Inbound port forwarding rules can be defined at Advanced > Port Forwarding.
To define a new service, click Add Service.
Port Forwarding Settings
Enable
This setting specifies whether the inbound service takes effect. When Enable is
checked, the inbound service takes effect: traffic is matched and actions are taken by
the Pepwave router based on the other parameters of the rule. When this setting is
disabled, the inbound service does not take effect: the Pepwave router disregards the
other parameters of the rule.
Service Name
This setting identifies the service to the system administrator. Valid values for this
setting consist of only alphanumeric and underscore “_” characters.
https://www.peplink.com
105
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Protocol
The IP Protocol setting, along with the Port setting, specifies the protocol of the
service as TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP. Traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via
the specified protocol at the specified port(s) is forwarded to the LAN hosts specified
by the Servers setting. Please see below for details on the Port and Servers
settings. Alternatively, the Protocol Selection Tool drop-down menu can be used to
automatically fill in the protocol and a single port number of common Internet services
(e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, etc.). After selecting an item from the Protocol Selection Tool
drop-down menu, the protocol and port number remain manually modifiable.
Port
The Port setting specifies the port(s) that correspond to the service, and can be
configured to behave in one of the following manners:
Any Port, Single Port, Port Range, Port Map, and Range Mapping
Any Port: all traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol is
forwarded to the servers specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP
Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Any Port, all TCP traffic is forwarded to the
configured servers.
Single Port: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via the same port to the servers specified by the
Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Single
Port and Service Port 80, TCP traffic received on port 80 is forwarded to the
configured servers via port 80.
Port Range: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port range is forwarded via the same respective ports to the LAN hosts
specified by the Servers setting. For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port
set to Port Range and Service Ports 80-88, TCP traffic received on ports 80 through
88 is forwarded to the configured servers via the respective ports.
Port Mapping: traffic that is received by Pepwave router via the specified protocol at
the specified port is forwarded via a different port to the servers specified by the
Servers setting.
For example, with IP Protocol set to TCP, and Port set to Port Mapping, Service
Port 80, and Map to Port 88, TCP traffic on port 80 is forwarded to the configured
servers via port 88.
(Please see below for details on the Servers setting.)
https://www.peplink.com
106
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Range Mapping: traffic that is received by the Pepwave router via the specified
protocol at the specified port range is forwarded via a different port to the servers
specified by the Servers setting.
Inbound IP
Address(es)
This setting specifies the WAN connections and Internet IP address(es) from which
the service can be accessed.
Server IP
Address
This setting specifies the LAN IP address of the server that handles the requests for
the service.
13.1 UPnP / NAT-PMP Settings
UPnP and NAT-PMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port
to automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That
way, the process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated.
When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN
connections' default IP address will be forwarded.
Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP. Enable these features only
if you trust the computers connected to the LAN ports.
When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two protocols
can be found at Status > UPnP / NAT-PMP.

NAT Mapping Settings
LAN Client
NAT mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN IP Address, an IP Range, or an
IP Network.
IP Address
This refers to the LAN host’s private IP address. The system maps this address to a
number of public IP addresses (specified below) in order to facilitate inbound and
outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Address is selected.
IP Range
The IP range is a contiguous group of private IP addresses used by the LAN host.
The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses (specified
below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP Range is
selected.

Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
IP Network
The IP network refers to all private IP addresses and ranges managed by the LAN
host. The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses
(specified below) to facilitate outbound traffic. This option is only available when IP
Network is selected.
Inbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific
Internet IP addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified
WAN connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN host. This
option is only available when IP Address is selected in the LAN Client(s) field.
Note that: inbound mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in mode or
IP forwarding mode. Also note that each WAN IP address can be associated to one
NAT mapping only.
Outbound
Mappings
This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses that should be used when an IP
connection is made from a LAN host to the Internet. Each LAN host in an IP range
or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each selected WAN's IP addresses
(for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for better application
compatibility).
Note that: if you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you
should still choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the
Outbound Policy section. Also note that WAN connections in drop-in mode or IP
forwarding mode are not shown here.
Click Save to save the settings when configuration has been completed.
Important Note
Inbound firewall rules override the Inbound Mappings settings.

17 Docker
MediaFast enabled routers can host Docker containers when running Firmware 7.1 or later.
Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications.
From Firmware version 7.1.0 and upwards, it is possible to install and run Docker Containers on
your Pepwave routers with MediaFast, such as the MAX HD2 and the MAX HD4.
Due to the nature of Docker and its unlimited variables, this feature is supported by Pepwave up
to the point of creating a running Docker Container.
Information about Docker can be found on the Docker Documentation site:
https://docs.docker.com/ 2
This will allow you to run a file sharing platform (ownCloud), a web server (WordPress, Joomla!)
, a learning platform (Moodle), or a visualisation tool for viewing large scale data (Kibana).
When creating a new Docker Container, the Pepwave router will search through the Docker Hub
repository. https://hub.docker.com/explore/ 7

19 QoS
19.1 User Groups
LAN and PPTP clients can be categorized into three user groups: Manager, Staff, and Guest.
This menu allows you to define rules and assign client IP addresses or subnets to a user group.
You can apply different bandwidth and traffic prioritization policies on each user group in
the Bandwidth Control and Application sections (note that the options available here vary by
model).
The table is automatically sorted by rule precedence. The smaller and more specific subnets are
put towards the top of the table and have higher precedence; larger and less specific subnets
are placed towards the bottom.
Click the Add button to define clients and their user group. Click the button to remove the
defined rule. Two default rules are pre-defined and put at the bottom. They are All DHCP
reservation clients and Everyone, and they cannot be removed. The All DHCP reservation
client represents the LAN clients defined in the DHCP Reservation table on the LAN settings
page. Everyone represents all clients that are not defined in any rule above. Click on a rule to
change its group.
Add / Edit User Group
Grouped by
From the drop-down menu, choose whether you are going to define the
client(s) by an IP Address or a Subnet. If IP Address is selected, enter a
name defined in DHCP reservation table or a LAN client's IP
address. If Subnet is selected, enter a subnet address and specify its subnet
mask.
User Group
This field is to define which User Group the specified subnet / IP address
belongs to.
Once users have been assigned to a user group, their internet traffic will be restricted by rules
defined for that particular group. Please refer to the following two sections for details.
https://www.peplink.com
122
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
19.2 Bandwidth Control
This section is to define how much minimum bandwidth will be reserved to each user group
when a WAN connection is in full load. When this feature is enabled, a slider with two
indicators will be shown. You can move the indicators to adjust each group's weighting. The
lower part of the table shows the corresponding reserved download and uploads bandwidth
value of each connection.
By default, 50% of bandwidth has been reserved for Manager, 30% for Staff, and 20% for
Guest.
You can define a maximum download speed (over all WAN connections) and upload speed (for
each WAN connection) that each individual Staff and Guest member can consume. No limit can
be imposed on individual Managers. By default, download and upload bandwidth limits are set
to unlimited (set as 0).
19.3 Application Queue
This section is to define the QoS Application Queue. You can set guaranteed bandwidth for a
queue and assign it to applications.
Click the Add button to create the QoS Application Queue.
https://www.peplink.com
123
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Add Queue
Name
This setting specifies a name for the QoS Application Queue.
Bandwidth
Bandwidth to be reserved (for each WAN connection) for this queue. When WAN is
congested, this bandwidth will remain available for applications assigned to this queue.
Borrow Spare
Bandwidth
Enable this option if you want this queue to utilize WAN's unused bandwidth.
19.4 Application
19.4.1 Application Prioritization
On many Pepwave routers, you can choose whether to apply the same prioritization settings to
all user groups or customize the settings for each group.
Three application priority levels can be set:
↑
High,
━
Normal, and
↓
Low. Pepwave routers
can detect various application traffic types by inspecting the packet content. Select an
application by choosing a supported application, or by defining a custom application
manually. The priority preference of supported applications is placed at the top of the
table. Custom applications are at the bottom.
https://www.peplink.com
124
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
19.4.2 Prioritization for Custom Applications
Click the Add button to define a custom application. Click the button in the Action column
to delete the custom application in the corresponding row.
When Supported Applications is selected, the Pepwave router will inspect network traffic and
prioritize the selected applications. Alternatively, you can select Custom Applications and
define the application by providing the protocol, scope, port number, and DSCP value.
19.4.3 DSL/Cable Optimization
DSL/cable-based WAN connections have lower upload bandwidth and higher
download bandwidth. When a DSL/cable circuit's uplink is congested, the download bandwidth
will be affected. Users will not be able to download data at full speed until the uplink becomes
less congested. DSL/Cable Optimization can relieve such an issue. When it is enabled, the
download speed will become less affected by the upload traffic. By default, this feature is
disabled.
19.4.4 SpeedFusion VPN Traffic Optimization
To enable this option to allow SpeedFusion VPN traffic has highest priority when WAN is
congested.

20 Firewall
A firewall is a mechanism that selectively filters data traffic between the WAN side (the Internet)
and the LAN side of the network. It can protect the local network from potential hacker attacks,
access to offensive websites, and/or other inappropriate uses.
The firewall functionality of Pepwave routers supports the selective filtering of data traffic in both
directions:
●
●
● Outbound (LAN to WAN)
● Inbound (WAN to LAN)
● Internal Network (VLAN to VLAN)
● Local Service
The firewall also supports the following functionality:
● Intrusion detection and DoS prevention
● Web blocking
With SpeedFusion
TM
enabled, the firewall rules also apply to VPN tunneled traffic.

23 Miscellaneous Settings
The miscellaneous settings include configuration for High Availability, Certificate Manager,
service forwarding, service passthrough, GPS forwarding, GPIO, Groupe Networks and SIM
Toolkit (depending the feature is supported on the model of Peplin router that is being used).
23.1 High Availability
Many Pepwave routers support high availability (HA) configurations via an open standard virtual
router redundancy protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768). In an HA configuration, two Pepwave routers
provide redundancy and failover in a master-slave arrangement. In the event that the master
unit is down, the slave unit becomes active. High availability will be disabled automatically
where there is a drop-in connection configured on a LAN bypass port.
In the diagram, the WAN ports of each Pepwave router connect to the router and to the modem.
Both Pepwave routers connect to the same LAN switch via a LAN port.
An elaboration on the technical details of the implementation of the virtual router redundancy
protocol (VRRP, RFC 3768) by Pepwave routers follows:
● In an HA configuration, the two Pepwave routers communicate with each other using
VRRP over the LAN.
● The two Pepwave routers broadcast heartbeat signals to the LAN at a frequency of one
heartbeat signal per second.
● In the event that no heartbeat signal from the master Pepwave router is received in 3
seconds (or longer) since the last heartbeat signal, the slave Pepwave router becomes
active.
● The slave Pepwave router initiates the WAN connections and binds to a previously
https://www.peplink.com
147
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
configured LAN IP address.
● At a subsequent point when the master Pepwave router recovers, it will once again
become active.
You can configure high availability at Advanced > Misc. Settings > High Availability.
Interface for Master Router
Interface for Slave Router
High Availability
Enable
Checking this box specifies that the Pepwave router is part of a high availability
configuration.
Group Number
This number identifies a pair of Pepwave routers operating in a high availability
configuration. The two Pepwave routers in the pair must have the same Group
Number value.
Preferred Role
This setting specifies whether the Pepwave router operates in master or slave
mode. Click the corresponding radio button to set the role of the unit. One of the
units in the pair must be configured as the master, and the other unit must be
configured as the slave.
Resume Master
Role Upon
Recovery
This option is displayed when Master mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this
option is enabled, once the device has recovered from an outage, it will take over
and resume its Master role from the slave unit.
Configuration
Sync.
This option is displayed when Slave mode is selected in Preferred Role. If this
option is enabled and the Master Serial Number entered matches with the actual
master unit's, the master unit will automatically transfer the configuration to this unit.
Please make sure the LAN IP Address and the Subnet Mask fields are set
correctly in the LAN settings page. You can refer to the Event Log for the
configuration synchronization status.
Master Serial
Number
If Configuration Sync. is checked, the serial number of the master unit is required
here for the feature to work properly.
Virtual IP
The HA pair must share the same Virtual IP. The Virtual IP and the LAN
https://www.peplink.com
148
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Administration IP must be under the same network.
LAN
Administration
IP
This setting specifies a LAN IP address to be used for accessing administration
functionality. This address should be unique within the LAN.
Subnet Mask
This setting specifies the subnet mask of the LAN.
Important Note
For Pepwave routers in NAT mode, the virtual IP (VIP) should be set as the default gateway for all
hosts on the LAN segment. For example, a firewall sitting behind the Pepwave router should set its
default gateway as the virtual IP instead of the IP of the master router.
In drop-in mode, no other configuration needs to be set.

23.4 Service Forwarding
Service forwarding settings are located at Advanced > Misc. Settings > Service Forwarding.
Service Forwarding
SMTP Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing SMTP connections destined for
any host at TCP port 25 will be intercepted. These connections will be
redirected to a specified SMTP server and port number. SMTP server
settings for each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable.
Web Proxy
Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing connections destined for the proxy
server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings will be intercepted.
These connections will be redirected to a specified web proxy server and
port number. Web proxy interception settings and proxy server settings for
each WAN can be specified after selecting Enable.
DNS Forwarding
When this option is enabled, all outgoing DNS lookups will be intercepted
and redirected to the built-in DNS name server. If any LAN device is using
the DNS name servers of a WAN connection, you may want to enable this
option to enhance the DNS availability without modifying the DNS server
setting of the clients. The built-in DNS name server will distribute DNS
lookups to corresponding DNS servers of all available WAN connections. In
this case, DNS service will not be interrupted, even if any WAN connection
is down.
Custom Service
Forwarding
When custom service forwarding is enabled, outgoing traffic with the
specified TCP port will be forwarded to a local or remote server by defining
its IP address and port number.
23.4.1 SMTP Forwarding
Some ISPs require their users to send e-mails via the ISP’s SMTP server. All outgoing SMTP
connections are blocked except those connecting to the ISP’s. Pepwave routers support
intercepting and redirecting all outgoing SMTP connections (destined for TCP port 25) via a
WAN connection to the WAN’s corresponding SMTP server.
https://www.peplink.com
154
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
To enable the feature, select Enable under SMTP Forwarding Setup. Check Enable
Forwarding for the WAN connection(s) that needs forwarding. Under SMTP Server, enter the
ISP’s e-mail server host name or IP address. Under SMTP Port, enter the TCP port number for
each WAN.
The Pepwave router will intercept SMTP connections. Choose a WAN port according to the
outbound policy, and then forward the connection to the SMTP server if the chosen WAN has
enabled forwarding. If the forwarding is disabled for a WAN connection, SMTP connections for
the WAN will be simply be forwarded to the connection’s original destination.
Note
If you want to route all SMTP connections only to particular WAN connection(s), you should create a
custom rule in outbound policy (see Section 14.2).
23.4.2 Web Proxy Forwarding
When this feature is enabled, the Pepwave router will intercept all outgoing connections
destined for the proxy server specified in Web Proxy Interception Settings, choose a WAN
connection with reference to the outbound policy, and then forward them to the specified web
proxy server and port number. Redirected server settings for each WAN can be set here. If
forwarding is disabled for a WAN, web proxy connections for the WAN will be simply forwarded
to the connection’s original destination.
https://www.peplink.com
155
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
23.4.3 DNS Forwarding
When DNS forwarding is enabled, all clients’ outgoing DNS requests will also be intercepted
and forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server.
23.4.4 Custom Service Forwarding
After clicking the enable checkbox, enter your TCP port for traffic heading to the router, and
then specify the IP Address and Port of the server you wish to forward to the service to.
https://www.peplink.com
156
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
23.5 Service Passthrough
Service passthrough settings can be found at Advanced > Misc. Settings > Service
Passthrough.
Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. Pepwave
routers can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice being behind a
multi-WAN router. Settings for service passthrough support are available here.
Service Passthrough Support
SIP
Session initiation protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Pepwave
router can act as a SIP application layer gateway (ALG) which binds
connections for the same SIP session to the same WAN connection and
translate IP address in the SIP packets correctly in NAT mode. Such
passthrough support is always enabled, and there are two modes for selection:
Standard Mode and Compatibility Mode. If your SIP server’s signal port
number is non-standard, you can check the box Define custom signal ports
and input the port numbers to the text boxes.
H.323
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication
sessions will be defined on any packet network and pass through the Pepwave
router.
FTP
FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data.
In a multi-WAN situation, they must be routed to the same WAN connection.
Otherwise, problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Pepwave
router monitors TCP control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections
and binds TCP connections of the same FTP session to the same WAN. If you
have an FTP server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check
Define custom control ports and enter the port numbers in the text boxes.
TFTP
The Pepwave router monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any
incoming TFTP data packets back to the client. Select Enable if you want to
enable TFTP passthrough support.
https://www.peplink.com
157
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
IPsec NAT-T
This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T passthrough. UDP ports
500, 4500, and 10000 are monitored by default. You may add more custom
data ports that your IPsec system uses by checking Define custom ports. If
the VPN contains IPsec site-to-site VPN traffic, check Route IPsec Site-to-Site
VPN and choose the WAN connection to route the traffic to.
23.6 UART
Selected Pepwave MAX routers feature a RS-232 serial interface on the built-in terminal block.
The RS-232 serial interface can be used to connect to a serial device and make it accessible
over an TCP/IP network.
The serial interface can be enabled and parameters can be set on the web admin page under
Advanced > UART. Make sure they match the serial device you are connecting to.
https://www.peplink.com
158
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
There are 4 pins i.e. TX, RX, RTS, CTS on the terminal block for serial connection and they
correspond to the pins in a DB-9 connector as follows:
DB-9
Pepwave MAX Terminal Block
Pin 1
–
Pin 2
Rx (rated -+25V)
Pin 3
Tx (rated -+12V)
Pin 4
–
Pin 5
–
Pin 6
–
Pin 7
RTS
Pin 8
CTS
Pin 9
–
The RS232 serial interface is not an isolated RS232. External galvanic isolation may be added if
required.
Be sure to check whether your serial cable is a null modem cable, commonly known as
crossover cable, or a straight through cable. If in doubt, swap Rx and Tx, and RTS and CTS, at
the other end and give it another go.
Once connected, your serial device should be accessible on your Pepwave MAX router LAN IP
address at the specified TCP port.

The O/P (connected to the I/O pin on a 4 pin connector) can be configured as a digital input, a
digital output, or an analog input.
Digital Input - the connection supports input sensing; it reads the external input and determines
if the settings should be 'High' (on) or 'Low' (off).
Digital Output - when there is a healthy WAN connection, the output pin is marked as 'High' (on).
Otherwise, it will be marked as 'Low' (off).
Note: The Digital Output state (on/off) upon rebooting the device may vary depending on the model, eg. MAX
BR1 MK2 = Persistent; MAX Transit Mini with ContentHub = Reset to default, etc.
Analog Input - to be confirmed. In most cases, it should read the external input and determine

Appendix B: FusionSIM Manual
Peplink has developed a unique technology called FusionSIM, which allows SIM cards to
remotely link to a cellular router. This can be done via cloud or within the same physical
network. There are a few key scenarios to fit certain applications.
The purpose of this manual is to provide an introduction on where to start and how to set up for
the most common scenarios and uses.
Requirements
1. A Cellular router that supports FusionSIM technology
2. SIM Injector
3. SIM card
Notes:
- Always check for the latest Firmware version for both the cellular router and the SIM
Injector. You can also check for the latest Firmware version on the device’s WEB
configuration page.
- A list of products that support FusionSIM can be found on the SIM Injector WEB page.
Please check under the section Supported models.
SIM Injector reset and login details
How to reset a SIM Injector:
- Hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds. Once the LED status light turns RED, the reset
button can be released. SIM Injector will reboot and start with the factory default settings.
The default WEB login settings:
- User: admin
- Password: admin
- IP address: the device only has a DHCP client and no fallback IP address. Therefore, it
is advised to check every time what IP address is assigned to the SIM Injector.
Notes:
- The SIM Injector can be monitored via InControl 2. Configuration is not supported.
Scenario 1: SIM Injector in LAN of Cellular Router
https://www.peplink.com
241
Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
Setup topology
This is the most basic scenario in which the SIM Injector is connected directly to the cellular
router’s LAN port via an ethernet cable. This allows for the cellular router to be positioned for the
best possible signal. Meanwhile, the SIM cards can be conveniently located in other locations
such as the office, passenger area, or the bridge of a ship. The SIM Injector allows for easily
swapping SIM cards without needing to access a cellular router.
IMPORTANT: Cellular WAN will not fallback to the local SIM if it is configured to use the SIM
Injector.
Configuring the SIM Injector
1. Connect the SIM Injector to the LAN port of the cellular router.
2. Insert SIM cards into the SIM Injector. The SIM cards will be automatically detected.
IMPORTANT: SIM cards inserted into SIM Injector must not have a PIN code.
Note 1: The SIM Injector gets its IP address via DHCP and doesn't have a static IP address. To
find it’s address, please check the DHCP lease on the cellular router.
Configuring the Cellular Router
Step 1. Enable the SIM Injector communication protocol.

multiple Cellular Routers
Setup topology
In this scenario, SIMs are provided to the HD Domes via the main router. In this example, the
Remote SIM Proxy functionality needs to be enabled on the main router.
Notes:
- HD Dome can be replaced with any other cellular router that supports RemoteSIM.
- It is recommended to use Peplink Balance series or X series routers as the main router.

Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
This scenario requires the completion of the configuration steps for the cellular router
and the SIM Injector as in Scenario 1. The configuration for the main router is explained
below.
Main Router configuration
IMPORTANT: Main router LAN side and Cellular Routers must be configured using different
subnets, e.g. 192.168.50.1/24 and 192.168.100.1/24.
Note: please make sure the Peplink router is running Firmware 8.1.0 or above.
1. Open the main router WEB interface and change:
From <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/index.cgi to <IP address>/cgi-bin/MANGA/support.cgi.
This will open the support.cgi page.
2. Scroll down to find Remote SIM Proxy and click on [click to configure] that is located next
to it.
3. Check the Enable checkbox.
4. Click on Save.
5. Go back to the index.cgi page and click on Apply Changes.

Scenario 4: SIM Injector in a remote location
Setup topology
Requirements for installing a SIM Injector in a remote location:
● Cellular router communicates with the SIM Injector via UDP port 50000. Therefore this
port must be reachable via public IP over the Internet.
● The one way latency between the cellular router and the SIM Injector should be up to
250 ms. A higher latency may lead to stability issues.
● The cellular router must have Internet connection to connect to the SIM Injector. It can
be another Internet connection via Ethernet or Fiber if possible, or a secondary cellular
interface with a local SIM (Ignite SIM).
● Due to its high latency, it is not recommended to use satellite WAN for connecting to a
SIM Injector in remote locations.
SIM Injector configuration is the same as in Scenario 1.
Cellular Router configuration
Step 1. Enable the SIM Injector communication protocol.
1a. For a Balance cellular router, go to the Network (Top tab).
1b. For a MAX cellular router, go to the Advanced (Top tab).

Copyright @ 2025 Peplink
2. Under Misc. settings (Left-side tab), find Remote SIM Management.
3. In Remote SIM Management, click on the edit icon next to Remote SIM is Disabled.
4. Enter the public IP of the SIM Injector and click Save and Apply Changes.
Notes:
- Do NOT check Auto LAN Discovery.
- Do NOT add a SIM Injector serial number to the Remote SIM Host field.
Step 2. RemoteSIM and custom SIM card settings configurations are the same as in Scenario
1.

How to check if a Pepwave Cellular Router supports
Remote SIM
1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on any cellular WAN.
This will open the WAN Connection Settings page.
2. Scroll down to Cellular settings.
If you can see the Remote SIM Settings section, then the cellular router supports Remote
SIMs.
Monitor the status of the Remote SIM
1. Go to Network (Top tab), then WAN (Left-side tab), and click Details on the cellular WAN
which was configured to use RemoteSIM.
2. Check the WAN Connection Status section. Within the cell WAN details, there is a section
for Remote SIM (SIM card IMSI, SIM Injector serial number and SIM slot).
