Posted by Dennis Mathew
In order to route data and communication properly between the cellular gateway and the Static IP Controller, ensure the settings on each device is configured in the manner listed below:

In the Sierra Modem:
1. Log into AceManager.
2. Go to LAN-> Ethernet and change the DHCP start and end range to 192.168.13.100. Click Apply.

3. Go to Security->Port Forwarding, Change the DMZ to Manual and set the IP to 192.168.13.100. Click Apply.

4. Reboot the modem.

In the Static IP Controller:
Set a static IP with the following characteristics:
       IP: 192.168.13.100
       Subnet: 255.255.255.0
       Default Gateway: 192.168.13.31

To verify that the modem can "talk" to the controller:
   - In AceManager, go to Admin->Advanced->Ping.
   - Enter the Controller IP - 192.168.13.100 and click Ping Now. If you get replies back, then the setup is successful.
