Configuring Network Settings
Configure wired, wireless, and Internet protocol-related settings on the
Network page after connecting the BCM2 to your network.
You can enable both the wired and wireless networking on the BCM2 so
that it has multiple IP addresses -- wired and wireless IP. For example,
you can obtain one IPv4 and/or IPv6 address by enabling one Ethernet
interface, and obtain one more IPv4 and/or IPv6 address by
enabling/configuring the wireless interface. This also applies when the
BCM2 enters the port forwarding mode so that the BCM2 has more than
one IPv4 or IPv6 address in the port forwarding mode.
However, the BCM2 in the BRIDGING mode obtains "only one" IP address
for wired networking. Wireless networking is NOT supported in this
mode.
Important: In the bridging mode, only the IP parameters of the
BRIDGE interface function. The IP parameters of the ETHERNET and
WIRELESS interfaces do NOT function.
To set up the network settings:
1. Choose Device Settings > Network.
2. To use DHCP-assigned DNS servers and gateway instead of static
ones, go to step 3. To manually specify DNS servers and default
gateway, configure the Common Network Settings section. See
Common Network Settings (on page 171).

Static routes and cascading mode are in this section. You need to
configure them only when there are such local requirements.
See Setting the Cascading Mode (on page 183) and Static Route
Examples
(on page 178).
3. To configure IPv4/IPv6 settings for a
wired network, click the
ETHERNET or BRIDGE section. See Wired Network Settings (on
page 170).

If the device's cascading mode is set to 'Bridging', the BRIDGE
section appears. Then you must click the BRIDGE section for
IPv4/IPv6 settings.
4. To configure IPv4/IPv6 settings for a
wireless network, click the
WIRELESS section. See Wireless Network Settings (on page 173).

You must connect a USB wireless LAN adapter to the BCM2 for
wireless networking.
Note: If the device's cascading mode is set to 'Bridging' or its role is
set to 'Slave' in the port forwarding mode, the wireless settings will
be disabled.
