2.2 Network Configuration and Security
2.2.1 Ethernet Networks
Before installing a Netbiter EC350 gateway on an Ethernet network, make sure
that you have the following information about the network environment. Con-
tact your network administrator if in doubt.
• Network addressing mode (DHCP or static IP)
• IP address range, netmask, and default gateway (if not using DHCP)
• Firewall restrictions and policies
Netbiter EC350 communicates via port 443. This port must be open in the fire-
wall to allow communication with Netbiter Argos.
The gateway should only be installed in a network which is protected
by a firewall. Contact your network administrator if in doubt.
2.2.2 Mobile Networks
The Netbiter EasyConnect Starter Kit is primarily intended to be used with
the included Netbiter SIM card, which is configured ready to use and with
PIN code security disabled.
If you are using a SIM card which was not provided by HMS, make sure be-
fore installing the Netbiter that you have the following information:
• The phone number for the SIM card
• The APN (Access Point Name) for the mobile network
• The username and password (if required by the network operator)
Also make sure that PIN code security has been disabled for the SIM card.
The details about your SIM card such as phone number and serial
number should always be stored safely.
