MH-5000 User Manual
Here we would like to alter the original IP Sharer with the MH-5000 like Figure 1-. If we hope to have MH-5000 to replace
the IP Sharer, we just need to simply execute the following five steps as Figure 1- showed. By these steps, we hope to
build an image to tell you how to let MH-5000 work basically.
As the Figure 1- illustrated, with the five-step configurations, MH-5000 will have the same functions with the original IP
Sharer. Please see the following description of the five-step configurations.
1. Setup:
Install three physical lines inclusive of the power cord, outbound link (connected WAN1 port) and inbound direction
(connected LAN1 port). For the details, please refer section 1.3.
Continually, we will connect to the web GUI of MH-5000. So you must make sure that you have a PC which is
located in the same subnet with MH-5000 before this step. Note: The default LAN1 port is (192.168.1.254 /
255.255.255.0). Refer to section 1.5 for more information.
2. LAN:
Configure the LAN1 port of MH-5000. You can refer to section 1.4 for the default network configurations of
MH-5000. Note: If you were connected from LAN1 port and changed the LAN1 IP address settings of MH-5000.
The network will be disconnected since the IP address is different between your pc and MH-5000 LAN1 port.
3. WAN:
Configure the WAN1 port of MH-5000. You can refer to section 1.4 for the default network configurations of
MH-5000.
4. NAT:
Configure the connection of LAN to WAN direction. It will make all the client pc access the internet through
MH-5000. For more information, please refer to section 1.6.1.
