Assigning The Location Information And Ip Addresses - Nomadix AG 5000 User Manual

Assigning the Location Information and IP Addresses

The "location" command in the Configuration menu establishes the AG 5000's
location settings, the network interface IP address, the subscriber interface IP address,
the subnet mask, and the default gateway IP address. All of these AG 5000 "location"
parameters must be set up as part of the system's start up configuration (otherwise the
AG 5000 will not be "visible" on the network).
Enter (configuration) at the AG 5000 Menu.
1. c
The Configuration menu appears.
Enter (set Location options).
2. loc
The system displays the Company Name. If the name displayed is not correct (or
no name is entered), enter it now.
When prompted, enter the company's address (line by line - 6 lines).
3.
When prompted, enter a valid email address for this company.
4.
The system now displays the current network interface IP address (the default
address is 10.0.0.10) and prompts you for a valid address. The network interface
IP address is the public IP address that allows administrators to see the AG 5000
on the network. Use this address when you need to make a network connection
with the AG 5000.
The network interface and subscriber interface addresses must be on the
same subnet.
When prompted, enter a valid network interface IP address.
5.
After assigning the network interface IP address, the system displays the current
subscriber interface IP address (the default is 10.0.0.11). The IP addresses from
subscribers that are on a subnet different from the AG 5000 (for example,
misconfigured) are translated by Nomadix' Dynamic Address Translation (DAT)
patented technology to the
Enter a valid subscriber interface IP address.
6.
After assigning the subscriber interface IP address, the system displays the
current subnet mask (the default mask is 255.255.255.0). The subnet mask
defines the number of IP addresses that are available on the routed subnet where
the AG 5000 is located.
The subscriber interface acts as a multifunctional "translator." For
example, if a subscriber's computer is setup statically for a network
with a gateway address of 10.1.1.1, the AG 5000 emulates the gateway
to accommodate this subscriber while emulating other gateways to
accommodate other subscribers.
