By default, the PinPoint is in Public Mode and will pass the IP address assigned by the Your Wire-
less Service Provider network to the device connected to its port. If you need more control over
which gateway address, device address, and netmask that is given out by the DHCP server, you
can use the private host mode, *HOSTPRIVMODE, and set the internal network IP addresses.
The PinPoint will use NAT to forward packets to the end device.
Note: When using Public mode, connect the modem directly to the computer or
other end device. Using a hub or switch may prevent the modem from updating
the IP address of the end device when an IP address is received from the Your
Wireless Service Provider network.
In Wireless Ace, the Private mode settings are part of the PPP/Ethernet group.
FIGURE 7. Wireless Ace: Private Host Mode
• *HOSTPRIVMODE - Set to 1 to enable the explicit IP addresses.
• *HOSTPRIVIP - Set to the IP address you want the PinPoint to give to your device.
• *HOSTPEERIP - Set to the IP address you want for the PinPoint.
• *HOSTNETMASK - Set to the subnetmask (generally, 255.255.255.0).
Note: If you are using Private Mode (*HOSTPRIVMODE=1), you will need to
make sure that *HOSTPRIVIP and *HOSTPEERIP are on the same subnet. If the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, it is safe to use 192.168.x.y for each as long as the x
is the same number (0 in the example screen shot above) and the y is different (1
and 2 in the example) and between 0 and 254. The screenshot shows an example.
