Setting the operating mode
Via the operating mode, you define the role your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor
Modem will play when establishing and administering Internet connections.
You can run your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem in the following operating
modes:
³
To change the operating mode, open the
Advanced Settings
tab and select
Operating Mode
from the menu.
When you change the operating mode, your device is restarted.
In
Bridge
mode, the following functions are no longer available:
◆
The DHCP server of the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem is deactivated
(see page 30) because the network components receive IP addresses in the public
network.
If you want to access the configuration program of the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Out-
door Modem via your PC, you must connect the PC directly to the indoor unit LAN
port. You must also temporarily assign it a static IP address in the address range of
the Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem. If you want to use the Internet again
after this, reset your PC to “automatic IP address”. For details see the document
“Configuring the local area network” on the product CD.
◆
The firewall of your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem is disabled and cannot
be enabled (see page 27).
◆
The NAT function of your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem is disabled. This
means that the functions Port Forwarding (see page 28) and Exposed Host (see
page 29) are not available.
If necessary you may have to protect your network components against unwelcome
access from the Internet by appropriate means (e.g. firewall software).
Router
Your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem serves as an Internet router
for the network components connected to the indoor unit LAN port, i.e. it
establishes the connection to the Internet and ensures the transfer of the
communication data to and from the Internet (default).
Bridge
The network components initiate and control their Internet connection them-
selves. Your Cisco BWX360 WiMAX Outdoor Modem only allows the com-
munication data to and from the Internet to pass through.
