Powering on the Mosport 1TE/2TE
This chapter describes the initial provisioning of the Mosport 1TE/2TE.
IP Address Discovery or Configuration
This section describes how to contact the Mosport 1TE/2TE's management interface to start with unit
configuration.
Once the physical connection is complete and the Mosport 1TE/2TE is powered up, you must first find out the
IP address the Mosport 1TE/2TE is using. The Mosport 1TE/2TE's WANP address can be set either
dynamically or statically. The default behaviour of the Mosport 1TE/2TE is to try to obtain a dynamic IP address
through a DHCP server.
You can also access the Mosport 1TE/2TE through its private LAN interface.
Dynamic WAN IP Address Discovery
The default configuration is set so that the unit can be directly plugged into a network and provisioned with a
DHCP server. PIKA strongly recommends to set your DHCP server before installing the unit on the network.
This way, you know the WAN IP address associated with a particular unit.
See the Software Configuration Guide for more details on how to set an external DHCP server.
DHCP servers generally allocate a range of IP addresses for use on a network and reserve IP addresses for
specific devices using a unique identifier for each device. The Mosport 1TE/2TE unique identifier is its media
access control (MAC) address. You can locate the MAC address as follows:

It is printed on the label located on the bottom side of the unit.

It is stored in the System Information page of the web interface.
If you have not reserved a WAN IP address, you can discover which WAN IP address has been assigned to
the Mosport 1TE/2TE by either:

consulting your DHCP server's logs to find out details on the DHCP lease that was given to the
Mosport 1TE/2TE.

using a network packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) to examine the DHCP messages exchanged
between the Mosport 1TE/2TE and your DHCP server while the Mosport 1TE/2TE boots up.

To start the Mosport 1TE/2TE with a dynamic IP address:
1. If you need to discover the IP address of the Mosport 1TE/2TE, install and start your network packet
sniffer.
2. Power on the Mosport 1TE/2TE by flipping the power switch. If this is the very first time you are
installing the Mosport 1TE/2TE, it will restart twice.
Caution:
If you set a Mosport 1TE/2TE with a static eth1-4 IP address in a subnet (for instance,
192.168.200.1) and the eth5 interface receives a dynamic IP address in the same subnet (via a DHCP
server or PPP peer), you will not be able to contact the unit via the WAN. You must be careful that a dynamic
IP address does not overlap a static IP subnet that is already configured. Note that the current default value
of the Mosport 1TE/2TE is 192.168.0.10.
Caution:
If you are experiencing problems, or if you do not want to use a DHCP server and use a static IP
address instead, perform a Partial Reset procedure, as explained in “Partial Reset” on page 20 .
