Software vpn to LX40

Is it possible to do a software vpn to the LX40 so I can SSH to equipment on the LAN side?

Hi aschmitz,

You can configure VPN on LX40 to SSH to equipment on the LAN side. You need to have a VPN server.
Please refer to pages 178-202 in AirLink LX40 Series Software Configuration Guide for more details.

But not the openvpn software vpn?

Hi aschmitz,

No openvpn software to install on LX40. You need to set up a VPN server on your host.
Please refer to the below link for how to set up & configure the OpenVPN server on your host.

Then you confugure OpenVPN Tunnel on LX40. Please refer to page 202 in “41114225_ALEOS 4.15.0 Software Configuration User Guide for AirLink LX40_r1” for more details.

Other solution:
You can try Port Forwarding for SSH to equipment.
Go to ACEmanager → Security tab → enable Port forwarding → add public start port = 22, Host IP = equipment’s IP; private start port = 22 → Apply and reboot
Note: It requires public IP for LX40. Now you can ssh to equipment via this public IP.
