Configuring a Wireless Network with Remote RMX-3200: Getting Started

Director SCD
Director SCD manages VPN clients and servers. It uses Director models and
protocols to identify NEs as VPN clients or servers and manages associations
between the clients and servers. Additionally, Director SCD manages client and
server tokens.
Note: A token is created by the SCD for each VPN client or server. The token must
be installed on the client or server before it can connect to the VPN. The token
is contained in a configuration bundle with a patch file for configuring the VPN.
The Client OpenVPN controller on the Remote RMX-3200 uses OpenVPN software to
establish the VPN between Connect SCS and Remote RMX-3200. SSL is used to
manage the VPN connection and encrypted UDP packets are used for data
transmission. Both the management and data traffic are passed as UDP packets on a
single port and are able to travel through the customer’s firewalls. The customer’s
external firewall needs to open one port to the Connect SCS for all connected client
network elements.
Keep-alive packets are sent by both the Remote RMX-3200 and Connect SCS to
detect connection failures and to keep an active firewall state.
Initial Setup
Users must set up the following configurations for Remote RMX-3200 to operate in a
wireless network.
To set up the initial configurations:
1. Connect to the craft port, log into the CLI and run the initsetup wizard using
command
config use-wizard initsetup.
2. Configure the standard configuration parameters (such as users, SNMP,
networking and time).
3. (optional) If the management network is available, then connect to it and run the
Director SCD client application. Once the Director SCD client application is
running, the technician must:
Add Remote RMX-3200 as a new client
Create an association between Remote RMX-3200 and the appropriate
Connect SCS VPN server
Generate a new token for Remote RMX-3200
