Default Gateway - This is the address that the device will use to forward messages to remote hosts that
are not connected to any of the local bridged network (Ethernet or Wireless). This is only required if the
wired LAN has a Gateway unit which connects to devices beyond the LAN - for example, Internet
access. If there is no Gateway on the LAN, set to the same address as the Access Point - that is, the

When configured as a Bridge (default), the 450U-E will transmit all broadcast messages appearing at its wired Ethernet
port over the radio. As the modem has a low data throughput any unnecessary traffic being sent over the radio could
lower the available bandwidth which will compromise the reliability of the wireless link.
In many cases, the intended recipient of the broadcast traffic that is heard on the Ethernet port does not lie at the
opposite end of a proposed radio link. Therefore it is recommended that the radios be configured with some basic filtering
or be configured as a routing network to limit unnecessary broadcast traffic being sent over the radio. Refer to Section
3.14 Filtering

The 450U-E supports three different radio encryption methods, WEP128, WPA2-PSK and WPA Enterprise which can be
configured on the Security Page. The default encryption method is WPA2 and is setup during the Quickstart process by
simply entering a Password.
If utilising any form of encryption, all modules in the system will need the same encryption method and keys. It is advisable
to enter a new password and to not use the
