4.2.2 Configuring The Ethernet Interace
The Ethernet configuration screen presents two buttons that determine whether a unit will operate in Gateway mode
where a cellular WAN is used or in Network Client mode where the unit is subtended from one or more upstream routers
and may or may not receive its DHCP information from an upstream device. Figure 11 shows the mode selection buttons
and a configuration screen in the Network Gateway mode of operation.
Figure 11 - Ethernet Configuration – Network Gateway
Media Type – Determines the type of Ethernet connection. Auto allows router to determine what the connection is. This
setting is appropriate for most cases. Other settings are to select either 10Mb (10baseT), 100Mb (100baseT), Full Duplex
(FD), or Half Duplex (HD). Again, in almost all cases Auto will correctly determine the proper setting.
IP Address – Used to set the base address of the SkyRouter’s LAN segment.
Net Mask – The net mask that will be applied to the base LAN address to define the range of this LAN segment
DHCP Server – Choices are enabled or disabled.
DHCP Pool Start – The first address in the DHCP pool of assignable addresses.
DHCP Pool End – The last address in the DHCP pool of assignable addresses
DNS Address Source – Acquire from Network or User Defined. If Acquire from Network is selected the SkyRouter’s DNS
addresses will be automatically coordinated with the DNS addressing in use on the network. This is especially important
for mobile applications that may see DNS addressing changes as the SkyRouter moves from one area to another.
User defined DNS addressing is appropriate for VPNs or corporate networks where the customer manages the DNS.
DNS IP Address (Primary and Secondary) – If Acquire from Network is selected these fields will display the network
provided addresses. If User Defined DNS is selected these field will be used to load the DNS addresses.
