Principal Operating Modes

5.4.1

Bridge Mode

When in Bridge Mode:
The Outdoor Cable Modem (OCM) only requests an RF interface IP address.
Logon to 192.168.100.1 (Ethernet interface) or RF interface IP to put OCM into Router Mode.
CPE (Ethernet) interface, Static IP and RIP are disabled.
5.4.2

Router Mode

When in Router Mode:
Default configuration – OCM requests both an RF interface IP (usually non-routable) and a
CPE / Remote Management interface IP (globally routable).
By default, the CPE (Ethernet) interface is the RIP source IP.
The Remote Management page defines ports on which the OCM listens for incoming
management requests to the CPE (Ethernet) interface.
If 'Use RF IP as the RIP source IP' is selected, then the OCM will use RF IP as the RIP
source IP and will not pull a CPE (Ethernet) IP.
LAN IP becomes CPE / Remote Management IP.
o
If a static CPE (Ethernet) IP is configured, DNS values must be assigned. In this
configuration there are three IP addresses assigned to the OCM:
RF
o
CPE / Remote Management
