Peplink

Overview

This page focuses on specic configuration and wiring for Peplink routers.

Please see the Giraffe Cloud page for how the router integrates with the platform.

Remote shutdown

The open collector output on the router's 4 pin connector is normally connected to the Edge Controller. The router can then be used to remotely switch the entire Edge Controller off, leaving just the router running.

GPS

The Edge Controller can obtain it's GPS position from the Peplink router.

GPS is enabled by default on Peplink routers that support it.

SMS Commands

We highly recommend configuring SMS commands to control the router. This will allow you to reconfigure the router even if the internet connectivity is not working.

It is necessary to enter the phone number from which you want to send SMS commands into the router.

Firmware version

The Edge Controller can support all recent Peplink firmware.

Peplink remote firmware updates are generally very reliable and we have had few problems upgrading remotely.
