The WebMux™ Model 480S, 580SG, and 680PG User Guide – Version 7.0.x

Enter the host name of the WebMux™. Use the right arrow to move the position,

the up and down arrows to select characters, left arrow to move back in position,

check mark button to confirm the change. This host name is for identification

purposes. You may call it webmux1, webmux2, etc. (Trick to enter name

quickly: If you hold down the up/down button for more than a second, the letter

will start changing quickly.) Note the left most down arrow on the LCD allows the

user to skip certain entries.

Enter WebMux™ Domain Name:

This is for identification only; no effect for network operation. Although it can be

any name, we suggest using the primary domain name of the Router LAN

network. If you have only one domain, use that domain name. Note the left most

position on the LCD has changed to an up and down arrow, allowing the user to

go back and forth for questions and answers.

Choose NAT mode or Out-of-Path Mode:

This is where to choose NAT (Network Address Translation) or Out-of-Path mode.

“*” is a default or selected option. Network address translation provides

protection to the servers; it can handle large amounts of data as noted in the

specification. It provides the best security for isolating servers from any other

part of the networks. Out-of-Path provides better performance when huge

amounts of data need to go back to clients (up to 100X more than on the

specification chart); it also does not require a change to the server IP address. If

choosing NAT, continue to the next setting; otherwise, skip next few settings and

go to direct routing. If answer NO here, please continue setup at the

Out-of-Path

section.

Transparent Mode:

If selected NAT mode, you can select transparent mode (bridge mode) or not. If

you choose YES, the WebMux™ will be in Transparent Mode and will behave as

an Ethernet Bridge. Please continue the configuration to the

Transparent Mode
