At every interval specified while a mobile network link is active.

Setting Failover and Recovery

While both Ethernet and mobile network links are available, only one connection

can be used to establish a WAN link, at a time. When one WAN connection fails, the

device attempts to establish a connection on another interface. This feature is

called

Failover.

When the primary WAN connection is restored, it reverts to the

original path and ends the backup connection. This feature is called

Recovery

.

STEP 1

Choose Networking > WAN > Failover & Recovery, to display the Failover &

Recovery window.

STEP

2

Select Enable Failover to 3G WAN to enable the mobile network link and set it to

failover from the Ethernet link. When the Ethernet WAN link is not active, the device

attempts to enable the mobile network link on the USB interface. (If failover is not

enabled, the mobile network link is always disabled.)

STEP

3

Select Enable Recovery back to Ethernet WAN to enable the link to return to the

Ethernet link, dropping the mobile network link. The Connect Mode accessed

through WAN > Mobile Network must be set to Auto to use Ethernet WAN

connection recovery.

STEP

4

In the Failover Check Interval

field, enter the frequency (in seconds) with which the

device must attempt to detect the physical connection or presence of traffic on

the mobile network link. If the link is idle, the device attempts to ping a destination

at this interval. If there is no reply to the ping packet, the device assumes the link is

down and retries the Ethernet WAN interface.

STEP

5

In the Recovery Check Interval

field, enter the frequency (in seconds) with which

the device must attempt to detect the physical connection or presence of traffic

on the Ethernet WAN link. If the link is idle, the device attempts to ping a

destination at the interval. If there is a reply to the ping packet, the device assumes

the link is up and attempts to disable the mobile network link and enable the

Ethernet WAN link.

STEP

6

Click Switch back to Ethernet immediately when Ethernet is available or click

Switch back to Ethernet in a specific time range and enter the start and end time

for the range.

STEP

7

In the Connection Validation Site field, choose the site from which to perform

failover validation. Use the next hop gateway (by default the device pings the

default gateway) or choose a custom site and enter the site IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Configuring LAN Settings

The default DHCP and TCP/IP settings work for most applications. If you want

another PC on your network to be the DHCP server, or if you want to manually

configure the network settings of all of your devices, disable DHCP.

Also, instead of using a DNS server that maps Internet domain names (for example,

www.cisco.com) to IP addresses, you can use a Windows Internet Naming Service

(WINS) server. A WINS server is the equivalent of a DNS server, but uses the

NetBIOS protocol to resolve hostnames. The device includes the IP address of the

WINS server in the DHCP configuration the device sends to DHCP clients.

If your device is connected to a modem or to another device that has a configured

network on the same subnet (192.168.1.x), it automatically changes the LAN subnet

to a random subnet based on 10.x.x.x, so there is no conflict with the subnet on the

WAN side of the router.

Changing the Device Management IP Address

The local device management IP address of the device is static and defaults to

192.168.1.1.

To change the local device management IP address:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

LAN Configuration

.

STEP

2

In the

IPv4

section, enter this information:

VLAN

The VLAN number.

Local IP Address

Local LAN IP address of the device. Make sure this

IP address is not in use by another device.

Subnet mask

Subnet mask for the local IP address. The default

subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

After changing the IP address of your device, your PC is no longer able to display

Device Manager.

To display

Device Manager

, do one of the following:

•

If DHCP is configured on the device, release and renew your PC IP address.

•

Manually assign an IP address to your PC. The address must be on the same

subnetwork as the device. For example, if you change the device IP address

to 10.0.0.1, assign your PC an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.255.

Open a new browser window and enter the new IP address of the device to

reconnect.

Configuring DHCP Server

By default, the device functions as a DHCP server to the hosts on the wireless LAN

(WLAN) or wired LAN. It assigns IP addresses, and provides DNS server

addresses.

With DHCP enabled, the device assigns IP addresses to other network devices on

the LAN from a pool of IPv4 addresses. The device tests each address before it is

assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

The default IP address pool is 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149. To set a static IP

address on a network device, use an IP address outside the pool. For example,

assuming that the DHCP pool is set to the default parameters, static IP addresses

from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.99 in the IP address pool can be used to prevent

conflicts with the DHCP IP address pool.

To configure DHCP settings:

STEP 1

.

(Optional) Select a VLAN to edit from the drop-down list.

DHCP Server

field, select one of the following options:

Configuring VLANs

A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of endpoints in a network that are associated by

function or other shared characteristics. Unlike LANs that are typically

geographically based, VLANs can group endpoints without regard to the physical

location of the equipment or users.

The device has a default VLAN (VLAN 1) that cannot be deleted. You can create up

to four other VLANs on the device.

To create a VLAN:

STEP 1

Choose

Networking

>

LAN

>

VLAN Membership

.

STEP

2

Click

Add Row

.

STEP

3

Enter the following information:

VLAN ID

Numerical VLAN ID to assign to endpoints in the VLAN

membership. The number you enter must be between

3 to 4094. VLAN ID 1 is reserved for the default VLAN,

and is used for untagged frames received on the

interface.

Description

A description that identifies the VLAN.

Port 1

Port 2

Port 3

Port 4

You can associate VLANS on the device to the LAN

ports on the device. By default, all LAN ports belong to

VLAN1. You can edit these ports to associate them

with other VLANS. Choose the outgoing frame type for

each port:

Untagged

—The interface is an untagged member of

the VLAN. Frames of the VLAN are sent untagged to

the port VLAN.

Tagged

—The port is a tagged member of the VLAN.

Frames of the VLAN are sent tagged to the port VLAN.

Excluded

—The port is currently not a member of the

VLAN. This is the default for all the ports when the

VLAN is first created.
