6: Setting up the LAN
One of the main features of the oMG is its ability to provide a mobile LAN via both
wired (Ethernet) ports and wireless (WiFi).
Note: The oMG does not support USB-to-Ethernet adapters for LAN operation.
6.1 Configuring LAN Access
By default, an oMG is usually preconfigured to provide LAN access via multiple
Ethernet ports and through at least one unsecured WiFi AP. Therefore it's important to
assess and configure the type(s) of LAN access currently available on the unit before
the oMG is deployed, using the following steps. The careful and deliberate
configuration of LAN access will help to ensure a more secure system.
