Chaper 1: Overview This document is provided for AppEx customers (for system and network administrators with basic or advanced knowledge of networking). After reading this manual the administrators will be able to complete the following tasks independently: Installing and using LotWan Managing LotWan 1.1 Introduction LotWan is based on Zeta-TCP, a proprietary technology that speeds up all TCP-based network applications including data sharing, receiving and transmitting emails, office automation, web applications, database systems, video streaming, disaster recovery, online gaming, web browsing,, etc. 1.2 Special Notes When LotWan is used in conjunction with VPN equipment: Under normal circumstances, LotWan should be deployed before the data enters into any VPN tunnel. When LotWan is deployed after the data enters into the SSL VPN tunnel (using TCP l to transmit data), TCP acceleration would still function correctly. For VPNs using IPSec, LotWan must be deployed before the data enters into the VPN tunnel, otherwise the acceleration will be neutralized. Chaper 2: Installation of LotWan To install LotWan, you will need the following: LotWan appliance Standard 1U or 2U racks L shape mounting brackets Screw sets AC power cords 2.1 System Indicators When the unit is turned on initially, the hard drive indicator is red. Once it has booted up, the indicator is turned off. The bypass light on the fiber NIC is not lit normally (no bypass mode); and it is lit when in bypass mode. The NIC indicator is orange normally, and blinks when data is being transmitted. 2.2 System Installation 1. LotWan can be mounted on a standard 19 inch rack. 2. Login into LotWan using the Web GUI via the default management interface as described in Chapter 3. Configure the physical network port as WAN/LAN interface according to customer configuration When configuring WAN/LAN interfaces, be sure to use the network interface with embedded bypass feature, and enable the bypass mode in the Administration System Setup tab 3. Login into LotWan using the Web GUI via the default management interface 4. Use screw set to lock the L-shape rack mount 5. Install LotWan onto the rack 6. Plug in supplied power cords and turn on the power switch The power connectors are at the back of LotWan. The input voltage range is 100V 240V 1 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation. All rights reserved.

7. Connect the LAN ports in step 2 to the Intranet LAN switch (under normal conditions) and the WAN ports to the Internet Chaper 3: Set up of LotWan LotWan has two models as shown below. Model One: 1Gbps Model Two: 1Gbps or 10Gbps Model One is a 1Gbps platform. Model Two may be 10Gbps or 1Gbps platform, depending on user requirement. 3.1 How to Manage LotWan LotWan can be managed via the management interface (recommend) and Serial port. 2 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation.

3.2 Serial port Connection Use DB-9 serial cable to connect computer and LotWan Use parameters below to start the connection process 38400 baud 8 data bits 1 stop bit no parity Log into CLI and enter user name/password when prompted, using admin as the user name and admin as the password. The CLI command in detail please refer to Chapter 4. 3.3 Management Interface Connection The default management interface is M0 or mgmt0 with IP address of 192.168.1.1. The default user name and password are admin/admin. The Web GUI, referred to as GUI thereafter, allows the user to login to the system to set the parameters through a web browser. The browser can be IE (version 6.0 and above) or Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and above). To open the GUI, enter the management interface s IP address in the browser s address bar, e.g. http:// 192.168.1.1.

Aliases: Alias of the profile Hash Fields: Including local IP address, remote IP address, local port, remote port; protocol. Note that multiple hash fields can be added with the fields of the type are or-ed ; whereas fields of different types act are logically and together. Please note that the Add button on the right hand side must be clicked to save the hash field entered. When an IP address (local or remote IP) is used as a hash field, the profile can be defined using the combination of IP address and mask, e.g. 172.16.0.0/24 which means the filtering option is 172.16.0.x network segment. If the filtering option is a single IP address then the mask must be configured as 32, e.g. 172.16.0.100/32. If the mask field is left empty, 32 is assumed. 21 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation. All rights reserved.

The IP address as a hash field can also be specified as a range of addresses directly. If the port (local or remote port) is used as a hash field, the value of can be specified as a single port, e.g. 21 or a range of ports, e.g. 21 25. 22 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation. All rights reserved.

If a protocol is specified as the hash field, it can be selected as a protocol (of 11 common protocols) from the pull down tab or manually using the corresponding protocol number.

The PC to receive the SNMP messages must have SNMP management software (e.g. MIP browser) installed and configured with corresponding IP address and community string configured. 6.6 Packet Capture Click Log Packet Capture to enter the tab. 25 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation. All rights reserved.

The packets processed by the acceleration engines can be captured for further analysis. It is essential to determine the root cause, especially when there is a problem in the network. Steps: Enable packet capture by selecting PacketCapture. Select output to disk or network interface; IP Filter is used to capture only those date packets with specific source IP or destination IP address. All packets processed by the acceleration engines will be captured when the IP Filter is set as 0.0.0.0. If output destination is set to network interface, the source of the data packets can be selected Only those data packets from the WAN interface of the acceleration engine will be captured; or all data packets from WAN and LAN will be captured Output interface of the data packets can also be selected. Usually, the management interface or an idle interface in the system is selected. The PC that is connected to the output interface must run packet capture software (e.g. Wireshark). Never connect the output interface to the intranet switch which may overload the network or cause network congestion. Once the capture is finished, de-select Packet Capture function, submit and exit. The capture packets will display on the interface then you can download them. But it is only available in GUI Version 4.0.0.5. or higher. 6.7 System Setup Click Administration System Setup to configure the system parameters and activate desired services. 26 LotWan Appliance User Guide 2014 AppEx Networks Corporation.
