The event notification feature is an advanced remote monitoring tool providing you with the ability to send alerts via SMS, e-mail, TCP or UDP when pre-defined system events occur. This document describes the types of events for which alerts can be sent and outlines the steps necessary to configure a notification.

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is an example of a remote access VPN. It is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that allows the encapsulation of a wide variety of network layer protocols inside point-to-point links. When sending packets between endpoints connected over the Internet, a GRE virtual tunnel between them is created and is used to facilitate the transport of the packets.

Vodafone MachineLink routers equipped with multipurpose inputs and outputs and a dedicated ignition input may be independently configured for various functions, including: • NAMUR (EN 60947-5-6 / IEC 60947-5-6) compatible proximity sensor input • Proximity sensor input for use with contact closure (open/closed) type of sensors (PIR sensors, door/window sensors for security applications) with the input tamper detection possible (four states detected: open, closed, short and break) by the use of external resistors • Analogue 0V to 30V Sense input • Digital input (the I/O voltage measured by the Analogue input and the software making decision about the input state) with the threshold levels configurable in software • Open collector output. This document provides details of an example where an external sensor is connected to a multipurpose input/output pin.

IPSec operates on Layer 3 and as such can protect higher layer protocols. IPSec is used for both Site to Site VPN and Remote Access VPN. Vodafone MachineLink routers support IPsec end points and can be configured with Site to Site VPN tunnels with other Vodafone MachineLink routers or third-party VPN routers. Further configuration instructions for IPsec VPN tunnels on the Vodafone MachineLink router are provided in this document.

The Vodafone MachineLink Series routers can be configured to enter or return from a low power ‘sleep’ mode. You can configure this to occur automatically after a timer has expired, by the status of the ignition pin, a combination of timer and ignition pin status or by manually triggering sleep mode.

OpenVPN is an open source virtual private network (VPN) program for creating point-to-point or server-to-multi-client encrypted tunnels between host computers. The Vodafone MachineLink router supports three different OpenVPN modes: • OpenVPN Server • OpenVPN Client • OpenVPN Peer-to-Peer VPN connection. This document describes how to configure the different OpenVPN types on the Vodafone MachineLink router.

Port forwarding enables programs or devices running on your LAN to communicate with other devices on the internet as if they were directly connected. Many internet services and applications use designated ports and when packets arrive at the router, they will be lost unless they are directed to the appropriate destination. Port forwarding works by forwarding a specific TCP or UDP port or range of ports from the modem/router to the computer or device you are using.

PPTP is a popular choice when selecting a VPN type, mainly due to the large number of clients supporting it. Windows® Servers may be configured to function as PPTP VPN Servers. Owing to its popularity, the Vodafone MachineLink router has a PPTP client built-in enabling you to utilise this method of securing your data connection. This document describes how to configure the PPTP client on Vodafone MachineLink routers.

Vodafone MachineLink routers feature two independent operating systems, each with their own file systems. These two systems are referred to as ‘Main’ and ‘Recovery’. It is always possible to use one in order to restore the other in the event that one system becomes damaged or corrupted (such as during a firmware upgrade failure). The recovery console provides limited functionality and is typically used to restore the main firmware image in the case of a problem. This document outlines the process of booting a Vodafone MachineLink router into recovery mode and flashing the main firmware image to restore functionality in the case where a failure has occurred.

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) is a non-proprietary redundancy protocol designed to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet.
