EN-2000™ Quick Configuration
Guide
he EN-2000™ is a high-performance, low-cost VPN router designed for Verizon Wireless
LTE public and private networks. This compact IP router provides IP, VPN, firewall,
Ethernet and IP interworking with an embedded Verizon LTE cell module. The EN-2000
supports remote monitoring, video/alarm panel surveillance, business continuity, and
enterprise support.
The EN-2000 router supports cellular data and traditional broadband networks such as DSL,
cable, and Ethernet. The EN_2000 chassis can also support a 5 GHz 802.11 wireless module.
Disaster-recovery failover and business-continuity failover are standard.
This document provides information to configure the EN-2000 router quickly. For details of
configuration, see the EN-2000 customer documentation.
Note: If you have any problems when configuring the EN-2000, contact your EN-2000
distributor.

EN-2000 Status Overview Screen
13 If you need to reconfigure the device mode (for example, to change the DHCP Server
setting), select the Quickstart tab.
❖The Application Configuration screen is displayed. The screen shows the current
configuration parameters.
Note: The EN-2000 reboots only after the initial configuration (when the Save &
Apply button is selected). Later configurations also use the Save & Apply button,
but they do not require reboot.
Returning to the Default Configuration
Caution: If your EN-2000’s configuration is not correct, try to reconfigure the EN-2000
before returning to the default configuration. Do not perform the action described here
unless there is no other way to resolve problems with the EN-2000 configuration.
To set the EN-2000 back to its factory default configuration (cell failover), insert the end
of a paper clip into the EN-2000’s Reset button (a small hole on the front of the
chassis). Wait about 5 seconds for the EN-2000’s LEDs to blink in synch. Then remove
the paper clip from the Reset button. When the LEDs stop blinking, the Sys Status LED
will go out. When the Sys Status LED is on again, the EN-2000 uses the default
configuration.
Restart the EN-2000 management system to see the default configuration. Return to the
beginning of this document to reconfigure the EN-2000 for its use in the network.
