Connecting XEM CPU to StrideLinx VPN Router

This topic covers the steps required to connect a XEM CPU to a StrideLinx VPN Router.

Hardware Used for Example

  • XEM-DN32HP CPU (other XEM-DxxxH2 or XEM-DxxxHP should work the same)

  • StrideLinx VPN router model number SE-SL3011 (Other similar models should work the same)

Note: Private IP address range was used for this example. Other IP address ranges are valid if they follow recommendations for getting modules to communicate correctly.

StrideLinx Portal is used to create a configuration file for the VPN router. These are the internet settings used for this example.
