Managing the Wireless WallPlates

IP Addresses

Private IP address

The T3 system requires an IP address for network management. This T3 management address is assigned using the following command:

ip config ip-address <your IP> mask <your mask> gateway <your gateway>

The Wireless WallPlates also require an IP address for management by the T3 system. The IP address pool assigned to the Wireless WallPlates can be in the same subnet as the network management IP address, or it can be a private IP address space that is not used outside the T3 system.

The default configuration is to use a private IP address space to manage the Wireless WallPlates.

Note these important operational parameters when using the private IP space to manage Wireless WallPlates:

1.All T3 systems on the same property (same layer 2 network) can use the same private IP space to communicate with their own Wireless WallPlates. There will not be an IP conflict on the network.

2.The Wireless WallPlates will not send ARPs to the upstream Ethernet network.

3.The Wireless WallPlates will not send DHCP requests to the upstream Ethernet network.

4.The default private IP address space is 192.168.10.226 through 192.168.10.250. All WallPlates will be assigned an IP address starting with 192.168.10.226.

5.The default private IP internal address is 192.168.10.1. Use this address when loading new firmware to the Wireless WallPlate from the internal file system on the T3 Switch.

To enable the private IP addressing, type:

ip private enable

If you desire to set your own private ip addressing space, you must configure two commands:

Enable the private IP gateway:

Configure the private IP network:

ip private config <ip> mask <mask> ip private enable

dhcp server disable

dhcp server config network private start <ip> end <ip> dhcp server enable

For example:	ip private config 1.2.3.4 mask 255.255.255.0
	ip private enable
	dhcp server disable
	dhcp server config network private start 1.2.3.101 end 1.2.3.125
	dhcp server enable

NOTE: The DHCP server will not disable if any WallPlates already have an IP address. It is best to change the DHCP server config before the WallPlates link, or else you must disable the DSL ports and re-enable them after the configuration is complete.

To disable all DSL ports and remove DHCP address: interface dsl disable port(1-25)
