Working with the M111

IP address configuration

There are several solutions to this problem:

Pre-configure the DHCP server on the network to assign a specific IP address to the M111. To do this you need to specify the M111 MAC address and a reserved IP address on the DHCP server. The M111 MAC address is printed on the M111 label identified as Wireless Base MAC, or listed on the management tool Home or Login page as Wireless MAC address.

Assign a static IP address to the M111 as explained in the next section To configure IP addressing. The address must be on the same subnet as the MSM AP to which the M111 will connect.

Define a management IP address. See To assign a management address on page 3-34.

The M111 provides MAC address translation for all devices connected to Port 1 as their traffic is forwarded across the wireless link. This enables up to 20 Ethernet devices to share the wireless link, yet at the same time have their own unique IP addresses.

To configure IP addressing1. Select Network > Ports.

2.Select Bridge port in the table.

3.Under Assign IP address via, select the option you want to use, and select Configure.

4.Specify your settings and select Save, and then from the Bridge configuration page select Save again.
