Chapter 1: Initial Setup14Quick Install InstructionsThe following section is a quick overview of theinstallation process. We recommend that you refer to therest of the manual for detailed descriptions of thevarious menu items and screens.Select a PC on your LAN to configure the WARP appliance.This PC will be referred to as the Management PC. Any PCon the LAN can be used to manage the WARP appliance onceinitial configuration is complete.Connect the WARP unit to a UPS outlet.Power the uniton. It takes less than a minute to boot up.Connect the LAN interface to your local network and ion must be done through the LAN interface.Configure the Management PC with IP address 192.168.0.10,Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway 192.168.0.1.Point the web browser on your Management PC tohttp://192.168.0.1 and this will bring up the initialinterface page of WARP.At your first login, enter "Administrator" as theusername (it is case-sensitive). The unit ships with nopassword. Simply click the Login button to authenticateand bring up the remote management interface.Click on System from the main menu and click on the Userstab and select "Administrator" from the user list. Clickon the Edit button to set the login password. Be sure toremember this password, as you will not be able to accessthe WARP without it. You may also want to add additionalusers at this time.Configure all the active WAN interfaces with IP Address,Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway settings.For moredetails, see “Chapter 2: Interfaces” in this manual. Ifany of your WAN IPs are assigned using DHCP or PPPoE, youcan select those options instead.Configure the LAN interface: Click on the Interfacebutton in the main menu. Click on the LAN tab and thenthe Add button to add a new IP alias. We recommendkeeping the default 192.168.0.1 IP address, assuming itdoes not conflict with anything on your network. Click on

Chapter 1: Initial Setup15the OK button to return to the LAN page. Click on theSAVE button to save the changes.At this point your WARP unit should be setup for Internetaccess. All you need to do is set your Default Gatewayof your LAN to point to the LAN IP of the WARP unit.

Chapter 1: Initial Setup16The Home PageThis page displaysVersion of the firmware running on the unit,Serial number of the unitLicensed throughputLicensed Add-onsHelpful Tips: Once WARP is in place, we recommend that you reboot yourrouters and firewalls to clear their ARP caches.Thiswill assure proper network communication between WARP andyour other network devices.If you are using public IPs on the LAN side of WARP in apass-through configuration, (see Inbound Policy), it maynot be necessary to change your network’s DefaultGateway.WARP uses Proxy ARP to automatically forwardpackets destined for any of the WAN routers. This makesWARP completely transparent to internal devices accessingthe Internet.

Chapter 2: InterfacesThe Interface section is where you configure settings forthe LAN and WAN interfaces of WARP.LANTo access and set LAN parameters, click on the Interfacesbutton in the main menu and click on LAN tab (see Figure2.1).Figure 2.1 – LAN InterfaceEnable Proxy ARPThis will enable or disable Proxy ARP on the LAN side.When this option is enabled, WARP will respond to ARPrequests for any IPs that belong to any of the WANsubnets.If you disable this option, you will not beable to communicate with devices directly connected tothe WAN that are in the same subnet as where you arecoming from.You should only disable Proxy ARP if you have devices onthe LAN side that have IPs from one of the WAN subnets.The default option is to have Proxy ARP enabled.

Chapter 2: Interfaces18Ethernet MAC AddressThis “Set” option allows you to set custom or defaultEthernet MAC address of the LAN interface.Link Speed / Duplex ModeThis option allows you to manually configure Ethernetlink speed and the duplex mode. The default value is setto "Auto-negotiation."VLANA Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) may be defined as agroup of LANs that have different physical connections,but which communicate as if they are connected on asingle network segment. VLAN is a broadcast domain formedby switches. VLANs allow you to create multiple separatednetworks with only a single switch.VLANs increase overall network performance by groupingusers and resources that communicate most frequently witheach other. To activate VLAN, click on the Activecheckbox and enter a Valid VLAN ID (Range 0 to 4096).Enable DHCP RelayThis option allows you to relay DHCP requests from a LANsegment to a DHCP server on the WAN side.Reporting IP addressThe reporting IP address field is used for sending localSyslog and SNMP messages through VPN or GRE tunnel.IPv4To view the IPv4 LAN configuration, click the IPv4 tab(see Figure 2.1). To add an IPv4 address, click the IPv4tab and click on the Add button. Specify the IP Addressand Subnet Mask for each IP subnet connected to the LANinterface to configure one or more IPs on the LANinterface (see Figure 2.2). Also specify the VLAN ID ofeach subnet if any.

This means FatPipe willalways check the line for Internet connectivity, even ifthe line is not actively being used for outboundsessions. If you choose the option “On Primary Failure,”then FatPipe will not check for connectivity on that lineunless all interfaces with Usage set as Primary are down.Link Stabilizing FactorThis is the number of consecutive Route Test failures orsuccesses that must occur before Line Status is changed.If the Line Status is UP, the status will change to DOWNonly after this number of consecutive Route Test

Chapter 2: Interfaces22failures. If the Line Status is DOWN, the status willchange to UP only after this number of consecutive RouteTest successes. See Chapter 4, Route Test.Ethernet MAC AddressThis “Set” option allows you to set custom or defaultEthernet MAC address of the WAN interface.Link Speed / Duplex ModeThis option allows you to manually configure Ethernetlink speed and the duplex mode. The default value is‘Auto-negotiation.’

Chapter 2: Interfaces23VLANA Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) may be defined as agroup of LANs that have different physical connections,but communicate as if they are connected on a singlenetwork segment. VLAN is a broadcast domain formed byswitches.

To activate VLAN, click on the Activecheckbox and enter a Valid VLAN ID (Range 0 to 4096).WeightThis setting is for use with the Weighted Load balancingalgorithm. Values configured here will be assigned as theWeight for that WAN interface.Spillover Priority LevelSpillover priority level allows you to assign differentpriorities to WAN connections to prevent line saturation.Traffic is sent over the lines with the highestpriorities set by you. Traffic is sent over the lowerpriority lines only after at least 90% throughput ofhigher priority lines is reached. You have the option ofmarking a line as ‘backup’. Traffic will be sent out ofa ‘backup’ link only if all the other links are down. ’1’has the highest priority and decreases as the numericvalue increases, depending on the number of WANinterfaces you have.This algorithm provides a solution for users that arecharged for line usage that is proportionate to thetraffic they generate. You will normally want to use thistype of feature as a backup for when your network iscarrying a high load. By assigning lower priority to sucha line, you will achieve optimal usage and minimize cost.ServicesFatPipe is a secure system with most services disabledexcept those needed to provide Remote Management, SSH,DNS, IPSEC, SNMP and Site Load Balancing. Although theseservices present minimal risk, you can enable or disablethese features as desired. You can block Ping (ICMP ECHO)requests to the WAN interface IP. These options do notaffect traffic routed through WARP.

Chapter 2: Interfaces24Watch Parameters – When enabled, FatPipe monitors thelink conditions like latency, jitter and packet loss andallows redirecting traffic to alternate links if a predefined threshold is crossed even if the link is UP. Thisis achieved by configuring the thresholds using OutboundPolicy Routing Rules. FatPipe pings a pre-defined IP(default is 8.8.8.8 but can be changed by FatPipe SupportTeam) to determine the above factors.

Chapter 2: Interfaces25Bandwidth (kbps)Upload - This setting is for use with Quality of Service(QoS). You should specify the maximum outbound bandwidthavailable for your WAN line in Kbps (Kilobits persecond).For example, if you have 1.5Mbps of bandwidthoutbound, you would enter 1500.Download - This setting is for use with Quality ofService (QoS). You should specify the maximum bandwidthavailable inbound for your WAN line in Kbps (Kilobits persecond).For example, if you have 1.5Mbps of bandwidthinbound, you would enter 1500.Enable Bridging with LANIn situations where we cannot split a network to create aseparate small transport subnet, this option enables youto bridge the LAN with the WAN interface of that network.WAN IP ListDefines all the subnets that are on the WAN side of thebridged interface, this helps the FatPipe route trafficaccordingly.IPv4 WAN SettingsSelect “Obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP” tohave WAN IP settings assigned dynamically by a DHCPserver (see Figure 2.7).To connect to your ISP using PPPoE, select “Connect usingPPPoE” (see Figure 2.8 and Figure 2.9).To connect a 3G/4G line, plug a 3G USB Modem to any ofthe USB interfaces on the WARP device. The USB Modem willbe automatically detected. Select “Connect using 3G/4Gdevice.Choose the device model from the “Detected 3G/4G USBModem” Dropdown. IMEI/ESN and Model Name of the USB Modemwill be displayed. This information cannot be modified.The APN and Phone Number will also be displayed. Thisinformation can be modified. Click SAVE to make thechanges permanent. (See Figure 2.10)Select "Specify an IPaddress" to assign IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DefaultGateway settings to each WAN interface.The DefaultGateway is typically the IP address of your WAN router(see Figure 2.11).
