CRADLEPOINT IBR650 USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.3.0
6.5.2Local Network Editor
The Local Network Editor contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, and DHCP Server.
IP Settings:
Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during other administration tasks.
Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is the DNS name associated with the router's local area network IP address.
NOTE: You can access the router‘s administration pages by typing the hostname into your browser, so if you change ―cp‖ to another hostname, you can access the administration pages through the new hostname.
IP Address: This is the address used by the router for local area network communication. Changes to this parameter may require a restart to computers on this network.
Each network must have a distinct IP address. Most users
will want an address from one of the following private IP ranges:
∙10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.1
∙172.16.0.1 - 172.31.255.1
∙192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.1
NOTE: The final number does not have to be 1, but it is a simple, logical convention for routers that leaves higher numbers free for other devices.
Netmask: (Default: 255.255.255.0) The netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The default value allows for 254 IP addresses, which is enough in most cases.
Routing Mode: (Default: NAT) Each network can use a unique routing mode to connect to the internet and other local networks. NAT is desirable for most configurations. Select from the following options in the dropdown list:
