4000/5000 Modems’ User Guide
By default the DHCP server is enabled. If connecting a terminal to the modem via
Ethernet, the terminal should acquire an IP address of 192.168.0.4. The DHCP range
could be set accordingly or disabled if the attached host requires a particular IP
address. If the IP address of the terminal is hard coded, then the modem DHCP server
settings are overridden; in that case it is necessary to verify that both the modem LAN
IP address and the IP address of the terminal are within the same subnet for
successful communication between both.
IP Registration
The modem is configurable to report a message to a user-configurable IP destination
every time its WAN IP address is changed. This is the IP address assigned by the
wireless carrier.
The benefits of this feature are mainly when CDMA accounts have a dynamic IP
address. Certain applications require exchanging IP data traffic with the modem,
typically over TCP or UDP. In that case, the application needs the WAN IP address
(public) of the modem before such data exchange. If the CDMA account is not
equipped with a static IP address, the modem can be set to report its WAN IP address
to an IP destination of choice, over TCP or UDP. In BlueVue Device Manager, click on
File then Configuration to display the Modem Configuration page.
