NBG6716 Modes
4.1
Overview
This chapter introduces the different modes available on your NBG6716. First, the term “mode”
refers to two things in this User’s Guide.
•
Web Configurator mode
. This refers to the Web Configurator interface you want to use for
editing NBG6716 features.
•
Device mode
. This is the operating mode of your NBG6716, or simply how the NBG6716 is
being used in the network.
4.1.1
Web Configurator Modes
This refers to the configuration interface of the Web Configurator, which has two modes:
•
Easy Mode
:
The Web Configurator shows this
mode by default. Refer to
Chapter 5 on page 31
for more information on the screens in this mode. This interface may be sufficient for users who
just want to use the device.
•
Expert Mode
: Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions of the
NBG6716. Click
Expert Mode
after logging into the Web Configurator. The User’s Guide
Chapter
3 on page 27
through
Chapter 23 on page 172
discusses the screens in this mode.
4.1.2
Device Modes
This refers to the operating mode of the NBG6716, which can act as a:
•
Router
: This is the default device mode of the NBG6716. Use this mode to connect the local
network to another network, like the Internet. Go to
Section 6.2 on page 42
to view the
Status
screen in this mode.
•
Access Point
: Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing network devices to
connect to the NBG6716 wirelessly. Go to
Section 7.4 on page 51
to view the
Status
screen in
this mode.
For more information on these modes and to change the mode of your NBG6716, refer to
Chapter
23 on page 172
.
The menu for changing device modes is available in
Expert
Mode
only.

When changing to another mode, the IP address of the NBG6716 changes. The running applications
and services of the network devices connected to the NBG6716 can be interrupted.
