CHAPTER 4: USING THE DEVICE
MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
PAGE 4-38
Router: The SM acts as a router and packets are forwarded or filtered based
on their IP header (source or destination) using specific static routes and IP
aliases configured by the operator.
Static: Device management IP addressing is configured manually in fields IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and Alternate DNS
Server.
DHCP: Device management IP addressing (IP address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, and DNS Server) is assigned via a network DHCP server, and
parameters IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Preferred DNS Server, and
Alternate DNS Server are not configurable.
Wireless IP
Assignment
(NAT Mode, Router
Mode)
Static: Wireless IP addressing is configured manually in fields Wireless IP
Address, Wireless IP Subnet Mask, Wireless Gateway IP Address, Preferred
DNS IP Address and Alternate DNS IP Address.
DHCP: Device management IP addressing (Wireless IP address, Wireless
Subnet mask, Wireless Gateway and DNS server) is assigned via a network
DHCP server.
IP Address
Wireless IP Address
(NAT Mode, Router
Mode)
Internet protocol (IP) address. This address is used by the family of Internet
protocols to uniquely identify this unit on a network.
If IP Address Assignment is set to DHCP and the device is unable to retrieve IP
address information via DHCP, the device management IP is set to fallback IP
192.168.0.1 (Access Point) or 192.168.0.2 (Subscriber Module).
Subnet Mask
Wireless IP Address
(NAT Mode, Router
Mode)
Defines the address range of the connected IP network. For example, if Device
IP Address (LAN) is configured to 192.168.2.1 and IP Subnet Mask (LAN) is
configured to 255.255.255.0, the device will belong to subnet 192.168.2.X.
Gateway
Wireless Gateway
(NAT Mode, Router
Mode)
Configure the IP address of the device on the current network that acts as a
gateway. A gateway acts as an entrance and exit to packets from and to other
networks.
Configure the primary IP address of the server used for DNS resolution.
Configure the secondary IP address of the server used for DNS resolution.
IPv6 Assignment specifies how the IPv6 address is obtained.
Static: Device management IP addressing is configured manually in fields IPv6
Address and IPv6 Gateway.
