Page 13: Networking Basics
Networking Basics 3.1. General Networking Definitions The L-5500 cellular modem is based on Ethernet connectivity and follows general IP networking guidelines and terminology. Below are definitions of some basic network terminology as they pertain to the L-5500 environment. Term Definition Domain Name System: operates like a phone book to translate domain names (i.e., google.com) to IP addresses (70.212.19.1). - Page 14 Service Set Identifier. This is a name used to identify a WiFi wireless network. Subnet A range of addresses assigned to a LAN. All devices connected in an L-5500 network must be on the same subnet as the L-5500 radio modems. Subnet Mask Binary string that separates the subnet portion of an IP address and the host portion.

PCs on the network. If the network requires a mix of static and dynamically assigned IP addresses, assign static IPs outside the DHCP address range for PCs that require static IP addresses and allow the L-5500 radio modem DHCP to assign the remaining PC IP addresses. -
Page 32: Wifi (Wlan) - Wireless Settings (Client)
Note: All access points must run a DHCP server. In wireless client mode, the L-5500 unit will try to connect to the Access Point with the strongest signal on the list. When the L-5500 unit connects to an access point, it starts a DHCP client service. -

L-5500 unit may need to communicate with a previously existing subnet other than its own. This route cannot automatically be generated; it must be manually entered as a static route by the user. The static route gives the L-5500 its “next hop” instructions. -
Page 37: Routing Table
Destination IP Address: This is the destination IP address that is delivered to the L-5500 radio modem. Since this IP address will not be on the same subnet, the L-5500 will not have a defined route, and will not know where to send it by default. Setting up the static route will inform the L-5500 where to send the data. -
Page 38: Advanced Settings
NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) on the WAN interface of the L-5500 unit. When NAT is enabled, the LAN (Ethernet) is considered private, the WAN is considered public. Any IP packets leaving the L-5500 unit through the WAN interface will have its source IP address changed to that of the WAN interface. -
