Traffic/Satellite IP Addresses and Subnet Masks
Traffic IP address
default:
Description:
10.0.70.1
This sets the IP address for remote control.
An IP address of 0.0.0.0 causes the modem to request its IP
address from a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server on
the network, removing the need to allocate static IP addresses to
each modem. The allocated IP address can be seen on the View-
>Unit screen. A request to the DHCP server is made every minute
until a reply is received.
When IPv6 support is selected on the menus, then additional
address entry options are provided.
When changing the IP address, devices communicating with the
modem may take several minutes to recognize the new address
unless the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables on the
relevant devices are flushed.
255.255.0.0
Sets the remote-control port IP subnet mask.
0.0.0.0
Sets the IP address of a default gateway. The gateway represents
the 'next hop' destination, which is normally the address of a
router, for packets destined for somewhere other than the local
network. This is used whenever the IP mode is set to Routing. An
address of 0.0.0.0 means that the gateway is not set.
0.0.0.0
Normally in bridge mode the address 0.0.0.0. is used as standard
to create a transparent bridge. VLAN and MPLS protocols will pass
traffic with minimal setup, thus is the recommended address for
most bridge mode cases. If required, a network IP address can be
applied to the modem's IP Traffic port. DHCP is not supported for
this address and therefore an address must be manually entered.
If using routing mode, then this would need to be set to a local
subnet address. See separate document: AN_057 P2MP Mesh
Network Routing Mode Configuration Notes available from
technical support.
When IPv6 support is selected on the menus then additional
address entry options are provided.
