RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
**** Warning ****
No Factory Reset - The RB-KIT was designed to be a very robust and exceptionally reliable product. Because
of this, you will find the RT-50S does not have a hardware or software reset button. The product can either be
remotely reset by Pakedge, if the router is connected to a working internet connection with remote access or at
Pakedge’s facility. We highly recommend using the product only as described in Pakedge’s “Installation User
Manual” and “Advanced Setup User Manual”.
If you have further questions, email [email protected] or call 1-650-385-8703 for support.

RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION
The RB-KIT is an integrated, all-in-one security router appliance that delivers enterprise-class multi-threat protection
and routing for your home. It offers a full suite of security services in one hardened router platform: antivirus /
antispyware / antimalware, intrusion prevention (IPS), web ltering, stateful rewall and trafc shaping, and
IPSec/SSL VPN.
The RB-KIT is precongured to allow custom installers to focus on quick, quality installations without enterprise
configuration worries.
Also, the Pakedge Router included in the kit is congured for a Guest Network. VLAN 6 is only to be used for
the Guest Network because it is setup by policy to only have internet access- no other devices on the internal
network will be accessible. If a Guest Network is desired, connect a VLAN capable wireless access point
directly to the router configured to the 6th VLAN.
Note: If this is your first time installing this product, please read this manual in its entirety. Even though this
product was designed to get you up and running quickly, you can perform unlimited customizations to meet
every installation.
A very Basic (Section 2.2.1) setup would be to configure the router for the type of internet service (such as
Dynamic, Static and PPPoE) and plug the appropriate cables into the different devices.
A more Advanced (Section 2.2.2) setup would be adding load balancing for two internet connections and a
setting up SSL VPN tunnel in addition to steps listed in the preceding paragraph.

1.2 GETTING TO KNOW THE RT-50S
Restore to Factory Defaults
Due to the nature of an enterprise gateway/security appliance, a standard reset to factory default button
does not exist. Since the RT-50S is precongured, chances are a factory reset will not be required. However
if for some reason this reset is needed, please contact Pakedge support for assistance.
Power Plug
To be compatible with electric service standards around the world, the switch is designed with a power
supply in the range from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz. Please make sure that your outlet standard is within
this range. To power the switch, plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle of the
switch and the other end into a power outlet. After the power cord is plugged in, the power LED should be a
solid green to indicate normal power status.

RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
2.2 Summary of Setup
2.2.1 Basic Setup
Most installations will only require plugging in cables into the correct ports and setting up the desired internet
connection (ie. Static, Dynamic, etc) for an easy plug and play configuration.
To complete the basic setup- Follow the instructions located in:
1. Section 3 to complete the hardware installation
2. Section 4 to configure the broadband internet connection.
3. At this stage, your system is up and running. If you desire to activate the optional Security
Subscription, go to Section 5.
2.2.2 Advanced Features Setup
After completing the basic setup, advanced features can be added if desired. This will require a different
login from the basic installation. The current advanced features that are discussed in this manual are:
• Disable DHCP - this feature is useful if there is another DHCP server on the subnet/network.
• Change LAN IP Address Values - this is useful is you wish to change the IP address
from factory default of 192.168.1.X

Username- user
Password- user
For Advanced Setup -
Username- pakedge
Password- pakedgef

RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
• Port Forwarding - is sometimes known as port mapping. This feature allows forwarding of a network
port from the internet to a port on the internal network behind the router. This is needed if the user wishes to
publish a web server or mail server inside the internal network.
• VPN - this service allows a user to remotely connect to the internal network behind the router from the
internet. Pakedge currently supports 2 types of VPN connections PPTP and SSL.
1. PPTP - PPTP technology extends the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) standard for traditional dial-up
networking. PPTP operates at Layer 2 of the OSI model. As a network protocol, PPTP is best
suited for the remote access applications of VPNs, but it also supports LAN internetworking. PPTP
client software is included with all current Windows and Linux operating systems and is also
included with Mac OS X (10.2) and above.
2. SSL - SSL runs on Secure Socket Layers technology and is accessible via https over web
browsers. It permits a user to establish safe and secure remote access sessions from
virtually any internet browsers to access home controls, share files, etc. SSL VPN advantage
over IPsec VPN is that a client software does not need to be installed.
• Dual WAN Redundancy - the ability for a user to have two broadband connections (one from the
cable provider and another from the phone company) as a backup in case the first connection goes down.
• Dynamic DNS - Allows users with non-static IP addresses to access their device with a DNS name
service that tracks the IP address changes..
Each of these features is independent of each other and sequence of installation does not matter. Pakedge will add more
features over time. Please visit our website for the latest Advanced Features User Manual: http://www.pakedge.com/
userguides.php. Finally, additional features can be added by referring to the Fortinet Administrator Guide for the Fortigate-
50B http://www.pakedge.com/docs/fortigate_admin_4.pdf. Please note, Pakedge does not support anything outside
of these features. If support is required, it can be purchased from Fortinet. Please contact Pakedge for details.

4 Broadband Software Configuration
There are only a few settings that may need to be completed in the RT-50S Router configuration before the
router/switch kit is operational. The rst router conguration is to setup your broadband internet connection.
To do this, determine the type of internet service you have. There are three types of internet connections that
are supported by the RT-50S:
1) DHCP (Typically used by cable companies and DSL basic service)
2) Static IP (Fixed Public IP address mostly used by Business Class Broadband services)
3) PPPoE (Used by DSL companies such as AT&T)
Determine the type of internet connection from your ISP, and then follow one of the three instruction sets below
to connect the RT-50S to the internet.
4.1 DHCP Configuration
There are no configuration changes necessary if the internet service provider is using DHCP and you do not
wish to open network ports to the public internet or use SSL virtual private network (VPN).
Power down the internet provider supplied device and leave it powered down for one minute. Plug the
Ethernet cable from the ISP device into the “WAN1” port on the RT-50S Router. Power up the internet
provider supplied device, wait one minute then power on the Router.
15

RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
4.2 Static IP
To configure the RT-50S Router to use a static IP complete the following steps:
1) Determine the following information provided by the Internet Service Provider:
i) IP Address
ii) Subnet Mask
iii) Default Gateway
iv) DNS Server(s)
2) Connect an Ethernet cable from the RT-50S- Port 1, 2 or 3 to a PC’s Ethernet Port.
3) Open Internet Explorer on the PC and go to http://192.168.1.99.
4) At the login prompt type in the username: user
and the password: user.

7) Click on the Manual radio button under the Addressing Mode heading. Enter the IP address and
Subnet mask information provided by the ISP, then click OK.
We are using 100.100.100.100/255.255.255.0 as an example only.

RB-KIT INSTALLATION MANUAL
8) You are now connected to the internet. However to ensure the optimal performance, we recommend
replacing the default DNS settings with your ISP’s DNS settings. To add your ISP’s DNS information, log off
user and login again using the adminstrator name - pakedge, and the password - pakedgef.
