If the attached device must use a specific (static) IP, then the modem's LAN configuration must be changed so that the
modem's IP lies in the same subnet as the device. Navigate to
CONF (Modem Configuration) > LAN IP
and change the
parameters under Ethernet or USB.

the IP 10.127.0.17

Wireless(WiFi)
All configuration of the integrated Wi-Fi feature in the BT-5x30 is done via AT commands only. For configuration of this
feature please refer to the separate AT Command Reference, available at
5.4
DHCP server
As mentioned above, the modem has a DHCP server which automatically assigns an IP to the attached device. If an
Ethernet hub or switch is connected to the modem’s Ethernet port, the modem will assign an IP address to each device
connected to the hub or switch, for a maximum of 254 devices, provided the devices are configured as DHCP clients
(“Dynamic” or “Automatic” IP configuration). The DHCP server can be configured or turned off in
CONF (Modem
Configuration) > LAN IP
as shown above.
5.5
Dial-up Networking (DUN) over serial
Note:
Regardless of the modem type, using a serial cable will cap the bandwidth at 115200 kbps. The
serial port will be a bottleneck in terms of performance, as it will reduce the data throughput
considerably to less than 3% of its maximum potential. Whenever possible, use an Ethernet or USB
connection to take full advantage of throughput.
Some terminals do not have RJ45 Ethernet or USB connectors and require using a DB9 RS232 standard serial connector
to interface with the modem.
If the attached device is not programmable (smart), then you cannot use DUN, and will
have to use the Serial IP feature to communicate with the device. Refer to the
section for details.
If the modem will be used with a programmable device that can make PPP connections,
then refer to that device's documentation to create the dial-up session. The phone number
to dial will be the same as the one programmed in the Dial String of the WAN setup. The
username and password, if any, will be those provided by your cellular service provider.
