Introduction
Welcome to the Telkom VPN Lite router setup user manual. This manual will provide information on
how to setup the Telkom VPN Lite service on your Pace 921VNX using the setup utility, the router’s
graphical user interface (GUI) and CLI (Telnet or Console connection) commands (advanced user
only).
oTo ensure that the utility works correctly please temporarily
disabled all software firewall applications. These
applications may interfere with the processes needed to
successfully complete the router setup. Examples of these
applications/programs include: Norton Anti-virus, PC-Cillin,
Bit Defender and McAfee.

Before you start
Register VPN-Lite service.
To enable you to configure the Telkom VPN-Lite service on your Pace Router you first need to
register for the VPN-Lite service on the Telkom website (www.telkom.co.za).
On the VPN-Lite registration site you will be able to configure and manage your VPN-Lite sites as
shown in the image below.
Here you will retrieve vital information like site Usernames and LAN Subnets and Site Password to
configure the VPN-Lite sites. In the below setup sections you will be required to enter these values.
Please ensure that you have all the correct information for each site before you start any of the setup
sections mentioned in this document. Below is an image to show you what information on the VPN-
Lite setup site needs to be retrieved to enable you to setup you VPN-Lite. You can find this screen in
the Manage Sites section.
oThis manual assumes that the Pace 921VNX is in its
factory default state. Thus:
LAN IP = 10.0.0.2
oIt is recommended to use the utility to setup VPN-Lite
on your Pace 921VNX. The routers graphical user
interface or manual setup method is to be used by
experienced users only.
oPlease ensure that your PC is set to obtain an IP
address automatically from the router’s DHCP server.

VPN-Lite Setup using the Web Browser Wizard
This section will guide you through the relative steps to setup you VPN-Lite service using the router’s
built-in VPN-Lite Wizard in the web browser.
Connection to the router using your web browser
Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. In the internet address bar type in
http://10.0.0.2 and press enter. You will be prompted to supply a username and password. The default
user name is admin and the password is admin.
Setup your VPN-Lite
After the router’s graphical user interface was successfully loaded in your web browser, firstly click on
Router and then select VPN Lite, in the menu on the left of the screen. The following screen will
appear.

oAfter you click the “OK” button, the router’s LAN IP
address will change and you will be required to log in
using the new LAN IP address (as defined in the set up).
e.g. LAN IP = 10.0.16.2
Click on Enabled, to enable the VPN Lite functionality.
By using the information retrieved from the Telkom VPN-Lite setup website (see page 4) enter your
site username, site password and site LAN IP range using the IP slash notation as it appears on the
Telkom VPN-Lite website.
The Static Routes for VPN-Lite will be created automatically.
Click “OK” to save the settings.

VPN-Lite Manual Setup Using Telnet
The following section will guide you to setup you VPN-Lite servise using the Telnet command line interface.
Before you start please refer to the Before you start section in this document see page 4.
1. IP Management:
a. Telnet to the Pace 921VNX using the router’s LAN IP address (default = 10.0.0.2) using this
command: “telnet 10.0.0.2” or an application such as Putty for Windows 7 users.
This will access the Pace 921VNX’s CLI interface allowing you to send setup commands. On
successful connection, you will be prompted for a login and password (defaults: admin &
nology*/). See screenshot below.
Enter your administration login & password. On successful authentication you will arrive at
the admin prompt. (See screenshot below.)

b. Setting the DHCP Server: This task is optional. If you want your Pace 921VNX to act as a DHCP
server –distributing IPs to your LAN PCs –please perform this step.
Set the router’s DHCP range to the correct target range using this command:
Syntax: cd LANDevice_1_HostConfig
set MinAddress <Min Address>
set MaxAddress <Max Address>
cd _
Example: cd LANDevice_1_HostConfig
set MinAddress 10.0.17.1
set MaxAddress 10.0.17.254
cd _
This router will now distribute IPs to connected PCs from the range 10.0.17.1 -> 10.0.17.254
Note: Alternatively, if you prefer to use static IPs on your network and you wish to disable the
router’s DHCP server feature, please run these commands:
cd LANDevice_1_HostConfig
set DHCPServerEnable 0
cd _
c. Set your router’s LAN IP address: Please run the following command to set your router’s LAN
IP address to within the correct target IP range. (Note that if using DHCP server, this LAN IP
must be in that same IP range).
Note that your telnet session will become unresponsive after you execute the command and will
eventually terminate. This is due to the router’s altered LAN IP that was originally used to setup the
Telnet connection, but has now been changed.
Syntax: cd LANDevice_1_IPInterface_1
set IPAddress <LAN IP>
set SubnetMask <Subnet>
cd _
fcommit
Example: cd LANDevice_1_IPInterface_1
set IPAddress 10.0.17.2
set SubnetMask 255.255.255.0
cd _
fcommit
Please see the correct LAN IP target range for your local site indicated on the VPN-Lite web
page screen shot below.
This will terminate Telnet session.

TELKOM VPN-Lite 2.5 ver.100712 Page 9
Note that the router uses the subnet syntax instead of the slash notation (/24) used to display
the LAN IP range on the website. Use the table below to translate the slash notation to the
subnet mask syntax.
d. Setting your PCs IP address: Your router’s LAN IP has now been altered but your PC’s IP is
probably still in the old range –thus making a connection impossible. Please make sure that
your PCs IP is updated to the new range, either by DHCP or setting it statically.
Once your PC’s IP is again within the same range as your router’s LAN IP, continue with the
following steps.
2. Setting up the VPN-Lite solution:
e. Telnet to the Pace 921VNX: Please repeat step 1a but this time with the router’s new updated
LAN IP. Once you received the “ >” prompt, please continue with the next steps.
f. Running the script: The script below sets up the VPN-Lite service on your Pace 921VNX.
Please re-type or paste each of these commands into the telnet session that has been opened
to the router in step 2a above (while substituting the <angle brackets>).

successfully. It is not recommended to copy and paste
the whole script at once as possible telnet buffer
limitations might cause certain commands not to be
pasted correctly.
