number. Redirected server settings for each WAN can be set here. If forwarding is disabled for a WAN,
then web proxy connections for that WAN will simply be
forwarded to the connection’s origi
nal destination.
22.4.3 DNS Forwarding
When DNS Forwarding is enabled, all clients’ outgoing DNS requests will also be intercepted and
forwarded to the built-in DNS proxy server.

Service Passthrough
Service Passthrough settings can be found at:
Network>Misc. Settings>Service Passthrough
.
Some Internet services need to be specially handled in a multi-WAN environment. The Peplink Balance
can handle these services such that Internet applications do not notice it is behind a multi-WAN router.
Settings for Service Passthrough Support are available here.
Service Passthrough Support
SIP
Session Initiation Protocol, aka SIP, is a voice-over-IP protocol. The Peplink Balance can
act as a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) which binds connections for the same SIP
session to the same WAN connection and translate IP address in the SIP packets
correctly in NAT mode. Such passthrough support is always enabled and there are two
modes for selection:
Standard Mode
and
Compatibility Mode
If your SIP server’s signal port numb
er is non-standard, you can check the box
Define
custom signal ports
and input the port numbers to the text boxes.
H.323
With this option enabled, protocols that provide audio-visual communication sessions will
be defined on any packet network and passthrough the Balance.
FTP
FTP sessions consist of two TCP connections; one for control and one for data. In multi-
WAN situation, they have to be routed to the same WAN connection. Otherwise,
problems will arise in transferring files. By default, the Peplink Balance monitors TCP
control connections on port 21 for any FTP connections and binds TCP connections of

the same FTP session to the same WAN.
If you have an FTP server listening on a port number other than 21, you can check the
box
Define custom control ports
and enter the port numbers to the text boxes.
TFTP
The Peplink Balance monitors outgoing TFTP connections and routes any incoming
TFTP data packets back to the client. Select
Enable
if you want to enable the TFTP
Passthrough support.
IPsec NAT-T
This field is for enabling the support of IPsec NAT-T Passthrough. UDP ports 500, 4500
and 10000 are monitored by default.
You may add more custom data ports that your IPsec system uses by checking the
box
Define custom ports
. If the VPN contains IPsec Site-to-Site VPN traffic, you have
to check the box
Route IPsec Site-to-Site VPN
and choose the WAN connection to
route the traffic to.

AP
The AP Controller acts as a centralized controller of Pepwave AP devices. With this feature, users will be able to
customize and manage multiple AP one a single Peplink Balance Interface.
To configure, navigate to the
AP
tab and the following options will be shown.
Special Note
Each Balance router can control a limited number of routers without cost. To manage more, a Full Edition license is
required. Please contact our Authorized Reseller or Peplink Sales Team to obtain more information and price
details.
23.1
AP Controller
Clicking on the
AP
tab will default to this menu. Here, you can view basic AP management options.
Access Point Controller
AP Management
The AP Controller for managing Pepwave APs can be enabled by checking this box.
When this option is enabled, the AP Controller will wait for management connections
originating from APs over the LAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for
captive portal connections on TCP port 443. An extended DHCP option,
CAPWAP
Access Controller addresses
(field 138), will be added to the DHCP server. A local DNS
record,
AP Controller
, will add to the local DNS proxy.
Support Remote
AP
The AP Controller supports remote management of Pepwave APs. When this option is
enabled, the AP Controller will wait for management connections originating from remote
APs over the WAN on TCP and UDP port 11753. It will also wait for captive portal
connections on TCP port 443.
The DHCP server and/or local DNS server of the remote AP’s network should be
configured in the
DNS Proxy Settings menu
under
Network>LAN
. The procedure is as
follows:
1.
Define an extended DHCP option,
CAPWAP Access Controller addresses
(field
138), in the DHCP server, where the values are the AP Controller's public IP
addresses; and/or

2.
Create a local DNS record for
AP Controller
with a value corresponding to the AP
Controller's public IP address.
Permitted AP
Access points to manage can be specified here. If
Any
is selected, the AP Controller will
manage any AP that reports to it. If
Access points listed below:
is selected, only APs
with a serial number listed in the provided text box will be managed.

Wireless SSID
Wireless network settings, including the name of the network (SSID) and security policy, can be defined
and managed in this section. After defining a wireless network, users can choose the network in
AP
Profiles
.
Click the button
New Network
to create a new Network profile, or click the existing network profile to
modify its settings.

generated from this wireless network (i.e., packets that travel from the Wi-Fi
segment through the Pepwave AP One unit to the Ethernet segment via the LAN
port). The default value of this setting is
0
, which means VLAN tagging is
disabled (instead of tagged with zero).
Broadcast SSID
This setting specifies whether or not Wi-Fi clients can scan the SSID of this
wireless network.
Broadcast SSID
is
enabled
by default.

network
’s traffic.
Layer 2 Isolation
A
Layer 2

When this option is enabled, clients on the same VLAN, SSID, or subnet are
isolated to that VLAN, SSID, or subnet, which can enhance security. Traffic is
passed to upper communication layer(s). By default, the setting is
disabled
.
Band Steering
A
Band steering allows the Peplink Balance to steer AP clients from the 2.4 GHz
