9 Using the mbNETFIX in bridge mode
If you use the mbNETFIX in bridge mode and install it unconfigured in your network
environment, start the device in
bridge mode with packet filter INACTIVE
(input 1 = HIGH).
After booting, the packet filter is inactive and the learning mode is active.
That is, the WAN > LAN and LAN > WAN transitions are open.
All pending connection attempts / connections are detected.
Input 1 is only evaluated until the mbNETFIX has been configured once, then the state of
input 1 is ignored.
Use bridge mode if your network is on the LAN and WAN side of mbNETFIX in the same
network segment (see graphic above for example IP addresses).
