RedPort Aurora wXa-171-Aurora · v2.0 · 18DEC2020. Aurora wXa-171-Aurora is an integrated Iridium satellite Wi-Fi terminal with a built-in Optimizer router. This page follows v2.0, 18 December 2020. It is not the separate wXa-203 / wXa-213 router. The old manual does not establish current account activation or app availability.
How it connects
In this edition, the default firewall permits Internet access through RedPort-certified services, rather than unrestricted traffic from every app. Record which email, web or voice function fails and the existing account or error indication. A blocked app alone is not proof of a radio fault. Do not open the firewall or activate a paid service as a test. With authorized access to the existing dashboard, read Status, System Log and Realtime Graphs. These read-only views distinguish Wi-Fi clients, recorded errors and interface traffic. Record the connected satellite terminal and its own status separately: local Wi-Fi does not prove satellite service. Preserve the evidence; do not disable the firewall, flash firmware, reset configuration or start traffic merely to test it.
