7 Primary Use Case CX111 Product Specification o Note: This product is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside of the plant. The CX111 Bridge typically provides backup internet connectivity. When the CX111 Bridge receives a DHCP request it will automatically initiate a broadband connection through one or more installed cellular broadband modems. The CX111 Bridge will typically be powered over PoE supplied by the Juniper SRX, J Series or SSG device. If the CX111 is powered by both AC adapter and PoE, then power is drawn for the AC source. If AC power is interrupted, the CX111 will automatically switch to PoE (if available) with no loss of service or connection. Set up Connect Mobile Broadband Device Plug a USB or ExpressCard datamodem into the appropriate slot. The data modem should have an active data plan. Visit Juniper s supported device list at Place CX111 Bridge in Best Signal Location Connect the included AC power adapter and use the Modem Signal Strength display to find the best location for the CX111 Brdige. Once optimal placement is found, remove power adapter and install the CX111 bridge securely using provided modem cover and mounting hardware as desired. Wall Mounting Drill four 6mm holes according to the drawing below. Insert the plastic anchors into the holes and install the screws into the anchors leaving the screw heads protruding from the wall approximately 5mm. Hang the CX111 on the exposed screw heads and slide slightly downward to engage the heads securely in the keyhole slots. The CX111 can be mounted vertically or horizontally. 03 Nov 2009 Juniper Networks 7

Increments on half-bar basis. LED State Indication Signal Strength ON Bar LEDs indicate modem signal strength No Signal OFF No lights Some modems, such as the UM175, do not support Dynamic Signal Strength feature. This feature allows the LEDs to show signal strength even when the modem is actively connected to carrier and passing traffic. For those modems that don t support Dynamic Signal Strength feature, user can manually obtain signal strength information by using the Web UI. Go to Modem->Info page and hit the refresh button. To move the modem back to operational mode for data connectivity, go to the Advanced -> Load Balance/failover page and at the bottom click the button next to the modem to re-establish connection. Signal button The Signal Button is a single position switch, when pressed, the Signal Strength LED is illuminated and the bar LEDs indicate signal strength from the cellular modem. The signal strength is shown for 10 seconds. Activation button 03 Nov 2009 Juniper Networks 15

16 CX111 Product Specification The Activation button causes the installed primary cellular modem to be activated (if possible not all modems support or require this). Typically when the user inserts a modem for the first time, it is possible that the modem is not yet ative (if NOT HOT, when shipped). The carrier might have enabled services plans for this modem, but the modem needs to be activated once. Pressing this button initiates the over the air activation process. Power Switch The power switch is a simple slide switch to turn the CX111 Bridge on and off. Setting OFF ON Behavior No power is used from DC input or PoE. Power is consumed from DC input or PoE. If DC input is present then no power will be consumed from the Ethernet. Mode Switch The mode switch is a simple slide switch to set the CX111 Bridge mode as normal (pass-through mode) or configuration mode. This switch is located near the Express card slot. Reset button The Reset button is single, recessed button used to reset the firmware to factory default settings. When the reset button is suppressed for 10 seconds, the restore process begins. Additionally, for immediate results, the button is sensed on power of the unit. ExpressCard latch The ExpressCard latch is a mechanical slide bar that prevents the ExpressCard from vibrating out of the connector.

18 CX111 Product Specification IP pass-thru is from cell modem or WiMax device to local wired Ethernet and vice-versa Only one machine on the local Ethernet interface is supported. This client receives the IP address assigned to the WAN device by the carrier The CX111 Bridge is modal, having a pass through mode and a configuration mode. Changing between modes is done by changing the mode switch setting. Failover is enabled by default and can be configured via the Web UI The CX111 Bridge can be monitored and configured with Remote Management Dial-on-Demand can be enabled to reduce connectivity usage. In Pass-Through mode, DHCP requests or non-local requests will trigger device connectivity. VLAN can be utilized in Pass Through mode for configuring the CX111 without physically moving the configuration mode switch. Firmware image restore The CX111 Bridge has an 8MB flash device, which is large enough that multiple firmware images can be held on the CX111 Bridge. The CX111 Bridge will always have an upgrade image in flash, so if the firmware image becomes corrupted the upgrade image will be used to restore the firmware image. Cellular/WiMax devices Built-in support for a broad set of cellular modems. Devices are support as tethered USB handsets, USB modems and ExpressCard modems. Automatic initiation of data connections when modem is inserted. Devices may also be removed and re-inserted as needed without needing to power down CX111 Bridge. Modem diagnostics showing information from connected modem. Automatic failover between USB modems and ExpressCard modems. The IP Address provided to the client/end user will change when failover occurs.

23 CX111 Product Specification Remote Management The CX111 Bridge will connect to a remote server that manages WiPipe Central services. The user can subscribe to these services to manage network devices and deploy firmware updates. Dial-on-Demand In order to conserve network usage, the network device can be configured to use the Cellular modem or WiMax device when traffic intended for the Internet or DCHP request are received. Otherwise the Cellular modem or WiMax device will be put into a sleep mode. VLAN Support for Web UI Configuration In bridge mode, configuring the CX111 can be done via a VLAN network segment. The default ID is 3900 and the default network is /24. When this network is established the user will be able to connect the Web UI to configure the CX111. Syslog will also use this VLAN to send log message to a remote syslog server. When the Pass Through switch is toggled, the VLAN network will be disabled. This due to the need for the user to be able to configure with CX111 will a normal laptop in certain occasions. If VLAN management is used, LAN resets will be disabled. Configuration Mode requires that the mode switch be in configuration mode. CX111 Bridge uses IP address determined by DHCP configuration (default is ) for Web UI responses local machine uses a local subnet address ( xxx) obtained either by a DHCP request or static configuration the local client can use the Web UI for all configuration VLAN networks will be disabled so that routing can occur with the local network IP Pass-Through/Bridging This is a new section for this product. Once IP Pass through is enabled via the physical switch on the CX111 Bridge, IP Pass through will map the public IP address it received from the ISP to the first client connected to the private LAN automatically. If there is more than one client connected to the private LAN, the MAC address of the client can be entered to ensure the correct client is mapped to the public IP address.
