Question:
How do I access the devices behind the modem remotely?
Answer:
To access devices behind the IPnXGii remotely, several methods can be used:
A. IP Passthrough - The IPnXGii is transparent and the connected device can be access directly.
Refer to The IP-Passthrough Appendix for a detailed example of how this may be deployed.
B. Port Forwarding/DMZ -
Individual external WAN ports are mapped to internal LAN IP’s and
Ports. See the Port-Forwarding Appendix for a detailed example.
C. VPN - A tunnel can be created and full access to remote devices can be obtained. Required
the use of multiple modems or VPN routers. See the VPN Appendix on an example of how to set
up a VPN.

Question:
I’m using IP-Passthrough but the serial ports won’t work?
Answer:
When using IP-Passthrough, the Carrier IP is assigned to the device connected to the Ethernet
port, all traffic is passed through to that device. As a result serials port will not work. The only
port not being passed through is the remote management port (default port 80), which can be
changed in the security settings.
