The IP addresses default to values based on the transceiver MAC address of the device. The derivation is described below. By default, only the first IP address is enabled (for local-DHCP), and no addresses are reserved for specific MAC addresses. Make sure to check the checkbox for the client IP addresses you have entered. Client 2and Client 3 are not enabled by default.

The VMM has two interfaces and must use two IP addresses. The wireless network must use the IP address on the wireless interface because that is the address for which the IAP will proxy and advertise. The same address will be accessed by the Device Manager when using MeshManager.

The wired interface address will be used by the VMM as the gateway address for the local Ethernet segment. The wired subnet mask is configurable so that the user may select a more restrictive subnet on the local Ethernet segment than what is normally provided to the wireless subscribers.

The MAC-derived default values are a means to ensure that these devices are likely to work out-of-the-box. The IP addresses are derived as follows:

Transceiver MAC address: 00:05:12:0A:XX:YY Derived MAC addresses:

Local gateway:	10.xx.yy.9
Client1:	10.xx.yy.10
Client2:	10.xx.yy.11
Client3:	10.xx.yy.12

Where XX and YY are hex values (from the transceiver MAC address), and the lowercase xx and yy are the same values in decimal. For example, a VMM with a transceiver MAC address of 00:05:12:0A:80:20 would have a default local gateway address of 10.128.32.9.

The user is encouraged to change these addresses upon installation.

3.5.1 Connecting to the Ethernet Port

If only one device is to be connected to the VMM, you can connect directly to the device using an Ethernet cable.

If you are going to connect more than one device to the VMM, you will need to connect a hub to the VMM, and connect the other devices to the hub.

3.6Working with MeshTray

MeshTray™ is a status and configuration application that reports vital and statistical information about the VMM. The application must be run on a client attached to the Ethernet port.

To start the MeshTray application, double-click on the MeshTray icon, or from the Start menu

select Programs Æ mea Æ MeshTray.exe.

For detailed information about using the MeshTray application, refer to the MeshTray section of the MEA WMC6300 Windows Users Guide documentation.
