Chapter 6 – Bridge Modes
The HG G
76343/4/5 supports 5 different Bridge Modes, that are explained in this
chapter. The modes differ in how transparent the LAN clients connected to the
HG G
76343/4/5 are connected to the WLAN, which MAC address the LAN clients
operate in the WLAN and whether the LAN clients have an IP address of their own
in the WLAN.
6.1 LAN Client Cloning
The
LAN Client Cloning
mode is used to connect a network device connected to the
LAN port of the radio modem to a network as transparently as possible via WLAN.
The radio modem takes over the MAC address and the IP address of the LAN client
for communication via WLAN.
If the radio modem has several LAN ports and these are also connected, only the de
-
vice on LAN port 1 is taken into account for transferring the MAC address. Other de
-
vices connected to the other LAN ports can communicate with each other, even
with the
cloned
device. However, these other devices cannot communicate via
WLAN.

address has been registered at the LAN port.
