Biamp Modena Hub Network Administrator's Manual page 6

Dual-network mode (Modena Hub+ only)
When configured for dual-network mode, both the wired Network interface port and the built-in
wireless access point will be functional. This allows corporate users to connect to Modena seamlessly
from their device's regular corporate network connection, while guests can still access Modena via
WiFi without needing access to the corporate network.
This mode offers some degree of
flexibility. By changing the "Share
mode" parameter in the Network
configuration page available in the
web admin, it may be configured
for an isolated, secure system or an
open, accessible system.
Share Mode Settings:
• None - both the wireless
access point and wired network
interface port will be active and
accessible to users but mutually
isolated from one another.
This means that guests can be
provided access to Modena
without being given any access
to the local corporate LAN or the
Internet. Company users can still
access their corporate network
resources during presentations
by connecting to Modena via the
corporate LAN.
• Routing + NAT - Modena Hub+
handles NAT between client
devices on its wireless network and the wired network interface port connected to the corporate
LAN. This allows devices connected to Modena's wireless access point to access resources on the
corporate LAN as well as the Internet. There is no firewall between the wireless and wired subnets
in this configuration.
• Routing - Modena Hub+ routes traffic between devices on its wireless network and the wired
network interface port connected to the corporate LAN, but it does not provide any NAT services.
There is no firewall between the wireless and wired subnets in this configuration. Traffic between
the two subnets is handled by the corporate LAN's routing tables.
• Bridge - Modena Hub+ will configure its WiFi access point as an extension of the corporate LAN
using the same IP address and subnet information as the wired network interface port. Client
devices connecting to Modena's wireless access point will be virtually connecting to the corporate
LAN.
