    About Router Mode

    In Router mode, Shield will function as a Unified Threat Management appliance.


    With two devices, set your existing wireless router to access-point mode.
    With all-in-one device, set your all-in-one device to modem-only mode.
    Eth0 is the WAN and is set to DHCP Client. Eth2 is the LAN and is set to DHCP Server.
    The Web User Interface is accessible on https://10.10.10.10 or at https://shield.lan

    About Bridge Mode

    In Bridge mode, Shield will function as an inline Intrusion Prevention System.


    Bridge mode provides the best overall performance and easy installation.
    Eth0 and Eth2 are set as a transparent bridge and are invisible on the WAN.
    Eth1 is a DHCP client attached to the LAN; it is used for management & updates.
    The Web User interface is accessible on https://x.x.x.111 where x.x.x is your LAN IP.

    About Gateway Mode

    In Gateway mode, Shield will function as a Unified Threat Management appliance.


    Gateway mode provides wide compatibility and easy installation.
    Eth0, Eth1, and Eth2 bridged and configured as DHCP clients attaching to the LAN.
    The Web User interface is accessible on https://x.x.x.111 where x.x.x is your LAN IP.

    Gateway mode is experimental and should not be used in business environments.

    connect your Shield to the power adapter labeled +DC 12V to a safe
    electrical source. To power the device off, unplug it.

    Configuring Shield

    Shield

    supports configuration via a web user


    interface and via a command line interface.

    The

    Web User interface can be accessed via


    HTTP or HTTPS using a standard web
    browser.
    Default

    username: admin

    Default

    password: itus

    The

    command line interface can be accessed


    via serial console or SSH (disabled by default).
    Default

    username: root

    Default

    password: itus

    Additional Notes

    In router mode, the web user interface can be accessed at 10.10.10.10


    In bridge and gateway mode, Shield request an IP address from the DHCP server, then
    attempt to set its IP to x.x.x.111 on the local network. So, if for example your LAN is
    192.168.0.0/24, Shield will be accessible from 192.168.1.111.
    (This may take up to 10 minutes to take effect.)

    Factory Reset Instructions


    Use a paperclip to hold down the reset button while powering on Shield.
    Continue holding reset button for 30 seconds.
    After about 5 minutes the process will complete and Shield will
    automatically reboot with default settings.
    **Do not power off Shield during the factory reset process.
    **Factory reset should only be initiated under the guidance of support.
