1. Brief Introduction to TupSight Gateway Configuration

Open the console, enter Options, and select Operation Mode as shown below:

By default, TupSight operates in the gateway mode, i.e., it acts as an Internet gateway for a LAN. The gateway mode is suggested since it is more reliable, especially for a relatively large computer network (with more than 50 hosts). The side-route mode, however, requires no additional LAN configurations, and is suitable for a monitoring and control task with a small number of PC hosts.

The Gateway Mode (Recommended)

This is the default working mode of TupSight. When working in the gateway mode, TupSight will replace the previous gateway machine on the LAN to provide other PC hosts with Internet connection.

Notes:

(1) If there is a proxy server on the router-gatewayed LAN, TupSight should be installed on the host to replace the proxy program.

(2) There is no need to input IP address to the right of the words Gateway IP in the gateway mode. The IP address of the PC hosting TupSight, however, must be assigned as the default gateway address for the other hosts on the LAN. To avoid the trivial tasks of correcting the gateway address one by one for other computers, you can simply use the existent gateway IP (usually belonging to a router), and assign an unoccupied IP to the router and configure in such a way that no other PCs can connect to the Internet directly via the router.

1. Step-by-Step Instructions to TupSight Gateway Configuration

The simple idea behind this quick LAN configuration without reentering the default gateway IP on other computer hosts is as follows:

(1) Assign the default gateway IP of the existent LAN (mostly belonging to a router) to the TupSight server, and accordingly change the IP of the router to an unoccupied one.

(2) Configure the MAC filter so that only MAC addresses configured will have access to the Internet. All other client devices will get denied access.

(3) Set TupSight in the gateway mode.

The following hands-on example describes the necessary steps using a Gigafast router.

Step 1: Choose an idle time since the re-arrangements will temporarily disrupt the network.

Step 2: Enter the router login screen: http://192.168.1.1 (the default gateway IP of the existent LAN).

Open the “LAN Settings” entrance to show the following screen.

Change the IP address to another available one, for example, 192.168.1.2.

If you click Save and the console will automatically exit.

Step 3: Reenter the router console by typing in http://192.168.1.2.

Step 4: Open Firewall, enter MAC Control, input the allowed MAC addresses (TupSight and other VIPs), and then exit.

Step 5: Run the TupSight console and open Options to select the gateway mode.

Step 6: Click on Start, Control Panel, Network and Internet Connections, and Network Connections, right-click Local Area Connection, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and look up Properties,

Step 7: Input 192.168.1.1 to the right of IP address and 192.168.1.2 to the right of Default gateway, and click OK.

Step 8: Restart the host PC, logon the TupSight console, and make sure that the external IP in Proxy Options is 192.168.1.1.

This reaches the end of configuration. Congratulations!
