Wired Interfaces
The gateway has two Ethernet interfaces and can serve as a serial terminal server.
There are number of ways to configure these interfaces. The two Ethernet ports have
identical configuration elements. When clicking on the Wired tab on the left panel, the
user interface shows up. See Figure 9.
Figure 9. The Wired submenu in the Navigation panel.

S&C Instruction Sheet 1076-530 17
Wired Interfaces
The option is available to enable or disable an Ethernet interface even if the interface is
physically connected. To enable it, set the Enable Ethernet 1 or Enable Ethernet 2 setting
to the On position; to disable it, set it to the Off position. The two Ethernet ports have
identical conguration elements. See Figure 10.
Figure 10. The Ethernet 1 screen.
Conguration of the Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 interfaces are shown on their respective
pages:
• When selecting the mode, if the gateway has a static IP address, select the Static
IP option and enter the address in the IP Address box. If the gateway is assigned
dynamic addresses, then select the DHCP Client option; the IP Address box will be
automatically lled in this case. If the Ethernet interface is used to bridge data com-
ing over the interface to other communication means, select the Bridge option from
the mode choices.
• IP ADDRESS – This is the IP address of the Ethernet link, congured manually or
automatically, as described above.
NOTICE
When setting IP address for various interfaces (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bridge,
etc.), make sure they are all not set to the same address. For example, if one
interface is set to 192.168.1.1, then the address to other interfaces should be
set to something different, for example, 192.168.21.1. If identical IP addresses
are used, then it may lock out the user, preventing any Web access to the
gateway.
• Fill in the subnet denition in the Netmask box. If the gateway is assigned dynamic
addresses, then the Netmask box will be automatically lled.
• If the gateway is intended to serve as a DHCP server, set the Enable DHCP Server
setting to the On position.
• For the DHCP server, enter the DHCP range of values in the Starting DHCP Address
and Ending DHCP Address boxes.
• To allow the gateway to be pinged, set the Allow Ping setting to the On position.
• Click on the Submit button to apply the changes.

Network
The gateway has multiple network interfaces and different ways to congure these
interfaces. The congurations include the upstream WAN side as well as the downstream
LAN side. They include advanced functionalities such as VPN, bridging, and rewalls.
When clicking on the Network tab on the left panel, the user interface shows up. See
Figure 12.

Click on the item to be configured.

Network
In Bridge mode, ports congured to participate in the bridge are all in the same Layer
2 (e.g. Ethernet) broadcast domain. This means all ports that are members of the bridge
are ports in a virtual Ethernet switch. Broadcast trafc, e.g. ARP, received on one port
will be relayed out to all other member ports. Unicast trafc received on one port will
be relayed per MAC address only to the correct output port (or to the gateway itself if
that is the destination address). Just as with an Ethernet switch, the bridge accumulates
knowledge of what MAC addresses are reachable on which ports in order to perform the
layer 2 switching function. See Figure 13.
Figure 13: Bridge Port Forwarding screen.
The Interfaces section displays all the interfaces currently bridged. Note that selecting
an interface for bridging is performed in the configuration of that interface as described
in the “Wired Interfaces” section on page 16.
NOTICE
When enabling Bridge mode, care must be taken to ensure Bridge mode is not
enabled on both LAN interfaces and especially on the LAN interface currently being
used for Web access to the gateway. Doing so can lock out the user, preventing any
Web access to the gateway.
In the Configuration section, the private IP address of the bridge can be set. Note that
here the IP address should be entered in the form <IP Address/Netmask>, for example,
192.168.2.1/24.
