Router registration, connection and configuration

The router system software is designed to require just a few mandatory settings in order to reduce manual configuration as much as possible. In fact, the VPN and Ethernet interfaces configuration is already defined in the factory default settings. Nevertheless, you are required to configure specific manual settings, such as: network interfaces IP addresses, connection mode, and domain registration.

Once configured, the router connects to the Server Infrastructure and can be detected by COMBIVIS connect Manager.
