The Configuration Submenu in the Network section allows you to view and manage the LAN and WAN settings.
The Router establishes connectivity with two main networks:
- WAN (Wide Area Network) - the network at the installation site.
- LAN (Local Area Network) - the automation network.
The Sevio Router uses its Firewall to isolate the WAN and LAN. To establish local communication rules among two networks, please refer to the Firewall in the Web Interface article.
The WAN Panel displays configuration parameters for the WAN (Wide Area Network) interface.
This interface typically connects to the installation site's network to:
- Provide internet access.
- Forward data packets between the LAN and the WAN, ensuring the operation of necessary services and maintaining network segmentation.
Ethernet
If the Sevio Router is connected to the same network using both wired and Wi-Fi (Client mode) connections, ensure that you do not manually set two identical static IP addresses.
- Enabled - if a DHCP Server is on the installation site's network, the Sevio Router automatically receives the necessary network settings. Click to view the assigned network configuration.
- Disabled - the network parameters require manual configuration.
- IP Address: the IPv4 address assigned to the interface, within the network's address range.
- Prefix.: indicates the length of the network prefix in CIDR notation.
- Netmask: this parameter verifies the IP address and prefix length.
Ensure the WAN IP address (whether set manually or obtained from DHCP) differs from the IP address of any Device on your automation network.
The default Gateway's IP address identifies the Router that directs traffic from the local network to external networks, including the internet.
The Gateway is essential for communication between Devices on the local network and Devices on other networks.
Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi interface is available only on R600 Router.
This button allows you to enable or disable Client mode.
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of the Wi-Fi network that the Sevio Router connects to.
This function hides the SSID on the Router's display.
Available only for R600.
The Router's regional configuration ensures compliance with Wi-Fi radio frequency regulations.
In Auto mode, the Sevio Router synchronizes its receiving frequency with the connected Access Point.
In Auto mode, the Sevio Router matches the Access Point's receiving frequency.
- Enabled - if a DHCP Server is on the installation site's network, the Sevio Router automatically receives the necessary network settings. Click to view the assigned network configuration.
- Disabled - the network parameters require manual configuration.
- IP Address: the IPv4 address assigned to the interface, within the network's address range.
- Prefix.: indicates the length of the network prefix in CIDR notation.
- Netmask: this parameter verifies the IP address and prefix length.
Ensure the WAN IP address (whether set manually or obtained from DHCP) differs from the IP address of any Device on your automation network.
The default Gateway's IP address identifies the Router that directs traffic from the local network to external networks, including the internet.
The Gateway is essential for communication between Devices on the local network and Devices on other networks.
Proxy
The Sevio Router supports SOCKS Proxy configuration for outgoing VPN traffic, with or without Username and password authentication.
Enter the Proxy server's IP address and Port. Use the credentials provided by your network administrator, if required.
The LAN Panel displays configuration parameters for the LAN interface (Local Area Network).
Network connectivity for IP-based automation Devices is provided by the LAN.
Remote access to all Devices on the LAN is provided through the Sevio infrastructure.
The LAN supports the connection of one or more cascaded Ethernet switches to expand port capacity and accommodate up to 253 IP Devices.
Enabling this feature allows the Router to automatically assign IP addresses, netmasks, and Gateways to Devices connected to the LAN. Disabling it requires all LAN-connected Devices to have static IP addresses.
You can set the IP address range for connected Devices.
The LAN IP address is the Router's IP address on the automation network and serves as the Gateway.
The LAN IP address and the WAN Gateway address needs to be different for proper DNS functionality.
The IP address must be unique within the automation network.
For remote access, use private IP addresses, not public ones. Avoid the following network ranges:
| From | To | |
| 0.0.0.0/8 | 0.0.0.0 | 0.255.255.255 |
| 127.0.0.0/8 | 127.0.0.0 | 127.255.255.255 |
| 224.0.0.0/4 | 224.0.0.0 | 239.255.255.255 |
| 240.0.0.0/4 | 240.0.0.0 | 255.255.255.255 |
This parameter controls internet connectivity for Devices connected to the LAN:
- Enabled - LAN Devices can access the internet via the installation's configured Gateway (WAN or WLAN).
- Disabled - LAN Devices have no internet connectivity.
When enabling internet access, ensure the installation site's network uses private, not public, IP addresses. Public IP addresses can compromise security by preventing proper isolation between the WAN and LAN.
Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi interface is available only on R600 Router.
This button allows you to enable or disable the Access Point mode.
This function hides the SSID on the Router's display.
Available only for R600.
