Default IP Address
Mimosa backhaul radios can be accessed either via the wired interface or the 2.4 GHz wireless interface (if
applicable). An internal bridge connects the two interfaces. Each interface is assigned a default IP address (see table
below), and both addresses respond via either interface. The wired interface can either be set manually to a static
IP or changed dynamically via DHCP. The wireless interface IP can not be changed.
Notes:

IP Address Discovery
Run the following command from the command line to discover the IP addresses of any directly connected Mimosa
devices. The string "20:B5:C6" is an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI), which is the first half of the MAC
address assigned to Mimosa devices. After executing the command, the IP address will be shown for each device.
Windows / DOS:
arp -a | findstr 20:B5:C6
Mac / Linux:
arp -a | grep 20:B5:C6
Port Scan
Run the following command from the command line to discover the port of any directly connected Mimosa devices.
This is especially useful if the port has been changed, and you do not remember the port number.

Changing the Unlock Country
Background
During the unlock process, a country must be selected to obtain an unlock code. The country can be changed later,
but a new unlock code is required to do so. Unlock codes are specific to both the serial number of the device and
the country selected.
Process
This process describes how to obtain an unlock code for another country if the device is moved outside of the
original country, or if licensed mode is used:
Log into manage.mimosa.co1.
Click on your network name in the upper right hand corner.2.
Select Settings > Account.3.
