2BANDIT™, BANDIT IP™, and BANDIT Plus™ Installation Guide
A Plug-and-Play Mode
The BANDIT IP comes as a plug-and-play device so that it can be up and running quickly in
standard installations. (The other products in the BANDIT family come with factory default
settings. If you wish, you can change any unit to plug-and-play mode, save the
configuration, and restart the unit.)
In plug-and-play mode, a BANDIT product is a DHCP client on the WAN (internet) port,
and is a DHCP server on the LAN (intranet) port. When a BANDIT powers up in plug-and-
play mode, it is assigned its public IP address by the WAN's DHCP server. (Typically, the
WAN's DHCP server is a device maintained by your internet service provider, or ISP.) Then
the BANDIT product, as the local DHCP server, assigns private IP addresses to DHCP clients
on the local network. (The BANDIT’s DHCP server has a default IP address pool, which can
be changed.)
Warning: If your network already has a DHCP server, disable the BANDIT IP's plug-
and-play mode before you connectthe BANDIT IP to the network. Otherwise, there will
be contention between the DHCP servers.
A.1 Using Plug-and-Play Mode
To use the BANDIT IP’s plug-and-play features, do the following:
1Follow the instructions for installing the hardware, as described in Section B, Setting Up
the Hardware.
2Boot up the BANDIT, as described in Section D, Logging In.
Note: After logging in, you may wish to review the LAN port's settings. See Section F.3.2,
DHCP Settings.
A.2 Disabling Plug-and-Play Mode
To disable the BANDIT IP’s plug-and-play features, do the following:
1Follow the instructions for installing the hardware (but do not connect the BANDIT
ports to the network devices). See Section B, Setting Up the Hardware.
2Then boot up the BANDIT device. See Section D, Logging In.
3In the Main Menu, select Load Factory Defaults. Then select Write, then Reset. See the
following sections:
•Section E, Using the Main Menu
