Configuration>
Assigning the Location Information and IP Addresses
The “location” command in the Configuration menu establishes the Access Gateway’s location
settings, the network interface IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway IP address.
All of these Access Gateway “location” parameters must be set up as part of the system’s start
up configuration (otherwise the Access Gateway will not be “visible” on the network).
1.
Enter
c
(configuration) at the Access Gateway Menu . The Configuration menu appears.
2.
Enter
loc
(set Location options). The system displays the Company Name. If the name
displayed is not correct (or no name is entered), enter it now.
3.
When prompted, enter the company’s address (line by line - 6 lines).
4.
When prompted, enter a valid email address for this company.
The system now displays the current network interface IP address (the default address is
10.0.0.10) and prompts you for a valid address. The network interface IP address is the
public IP address that allows administrators to see the Access Gateway on the network.
Use this address when you need to make a network connection with the Access Gateway.
5. When prompted, enter a valid network interface IP address.
The IP addresses from subscribers that are on a subnet different from the Access Gateway
(for example, misconfigured) are translated by Nomadix’ Dynamic Address Translation
(DAT).
6.
Enter a valid subnet mask.
After assigning the subnet mask, the system displays the current default gateway IP
address (the factory default is 10.0.0.1). This is the IP address of the router that the Access
Gateway uses to transmit data to the Internet.
7. Enter a valid default gateway IP address.
8. After establishing all “Location” settings, you must reboot the Access Gateway for your
changes to take effect.
The network interface address must be on the same subnet.
