Introduction The Elsight cutting-edge technology provides secure, real-time, adaptive data transmission over multiple IP links. Ground-breaking hybrid data connectivity solutions allow for on-the-move and highbandwidth communication, anytime and anywhere.
System Flow The Elsight system flow is illustrated in the diagram below. The system falls into 3 basic zones: • Elsight Cloud and Halo host devices: The Elsight Cloud Platform provides authentication and configuration support for the Halo host devices. The host is the Halo communication platform described in this guide, which breaks the data into separate data streams and transmits those streams over multiple IP links.
Hardware Overview This section describes the Halo interfaces and LEDs. The Halo Front Panel On the Halo front panel are the status LEDs: • LEDs 1-4: Cellular status LEDs The cellular status LED states are described in the following table.
The Halo Back Panel The following figure shows the back panel connector labels (top view of the device). The connectors are described in the table below. # Description 1 RS/CAN BUS 2 ETH 1 3 ETH 2 4 USB 2.0 5 DC IN (9-30V) T +972 77 7515600 | F +972 77 2016900 | 3 Ariel Sharon Blvd., P.O.B. 7, Or-Yehuda, 6037606, Israel / info@elsight.
The Elsight Halo Web GUI The Elsight Halo Web GUI provides access to the Halo device for configuration, monitoring, management, and maintenance.
OpenVPN Maintenance Logout Logging in to the Halo Web GUI NOTE: It is recommended to use the latest version of Google Chrome web browser. 1. Connect the unit to a computer via one of the Ethernet ports and turn the unit on. 2. Open a web browser and enter the relevant IP address in the address line: By default the IP addresses are: ▪ ▪ ETH 1: 20.0.0.2 ETH 2: 20.0.1.2 Note that these IPs can be changed in the NIC/Ethernet configuration (see Ethernet Settings). 3.
NICs (Network Interface Controllers) Use this module to configure and manage the device NICs. There are 3 types of NICs in the Halo device: ▪ ▪ ▪ Cellular Modem NICs Ethernet NICs WiFi NICs The main NIC page displays monitoring and statistics graphs regarding each NIC network usage, such as the Speed graph. Each of the specific NIC pages consists of the following sections: • Status Displays a Status listing of all NICs of that type.
• For the cellular modem and WiFi NICs, you can click to display Further Information. Operations The available operations vary slightly depending on the NIC type. The following table summarizes available operations. Enable Enable the element. All NIC types Disable Disable the element. All NIC types Turn On Turn on the element (must be enabled). Cellular modem only Turn Off Turn off the element. Cellular modem only Restart Restart the element (must be enabled).
Speed The NIC page displays the total download and upload rate per second for each NIC. • • • You can view the graph live or freeze it (“Live” switch). The legend at the left explains the colors in the graph. You can hide any of the NICs as long as the display is live. You can hover on any point on the chart to display a tooltip showing rates for each NIC at this point in time. Cellular Modem NICs The Halo platform may contain either 2 or 4 embedded cellular modules.
Status • For the cellular modem NICs, you can click to display Further Information. Network Limitations You can limit each modem e C to a specific technology. If you do not want to limit to one technology, choose elbasiD. Dialing Rules T +972 77 7515600 | F +972 77 2016900 | 3 Ariel Sharon Blvd., P.O.B. 7, Or-Yehuda, 6037606, Israel / info@elsight.
Dialing rules are provided by your carrier. The system has pre-defined dialing rules for many global carriers. If your carrier is familiar, you will find its settings pre-defined. If there are no pre-defined rules for your carrier, manually configure them here. • • If the carrier is familiar, with pre-defined dialing rules, choose Default and click Apply. All other fields are unavailable. If the carrier is not familiar choose Custom. All other fields will then be available.
Click the icon at the end of the row. • Configure DHCP: Choose client or server role. Or if DHCP is not applicable, choose None. • After making any of these changes, click Apply for the change to take effect. WiFi NICs This page lets you do the following: • • • • See the status of the WiFi modules Configure access such as routing information and security type. Enable or disable the WiFi card Ping a specified destination IP Settings This section is a listing of all currently configured WiFi NICs.
You can: • • • • • • • Switch the Data option to use this interface to carry data (rather than as a management interface). Add a new IP address: Click Add Address and enter the IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS. Delete an IP address: Click the icon at the end of the row. Add a new configuration: Click Add Configuration and enter the security type and state. Delete a configuration: Click the icon at the end of the row. Configure DHCP: Choose client or server role.
Applications Use this module to configure the OpenVPN application. NOTE: When you create an OpenVPN profile with Layer 2 configuration selected, the system creates a bridge between the ETH0 interface and the VPN NICs. OpenVPN Application The authentication information required for an OpenVPN connection is contained in a profile.
To add an OpenVPN profile: 1. Enter a valid name for the profile. (Alphanumeric characters only, no spaces.) 2. Browse to import the required certificate and key files. 3. Define the configuration source ▪ For a Custom configuration source: Browse to import the OVPN configuration file. NOTE: The OVPN configuration file MUST be syntactically valid in conformation with the guidelines in the OpenVPN Reference Manual.
Maintenance Use this module to the following: • • • • Manage the device firmware version. Configure the realm and environment. Shut down the device. Reboot the device. Serial Number The serial number is assigned as part of the manufacturing process. Each Halo device is given a serial number in the factory, which is associated with the unique hardware details of the unit. Firmware You can see both the running firmware version and the installed version.
• Running version: Upon the next successful restart, the system firmware updates to the latest installed version, which is now also the running version. You can also shut down or reboot the device. To install a new firmware version: 1. Browse to find and select the firmware version file. 2. Click Update.
