Step
Description
Optional
Press Restart [Button]
Restarts the device. After the device as
rebooted it will attempt to authenticate to
the configured network. As long as the
network is in range the wireless interface will
connect.
Access to the public network from the
private network is now possible.
The private network supports the Airborne™ discovery protocol (UDAP) and will
respond to discovery requests.
The subnet for the private network IP addresses (Ethernet Client and Gateway) and
public IP address (WLAN), obtained by the module via the wireless interface, MUST
NOT be the same.
Failure to observe this requirement will result in unpredictable behavior of the
adapter.
When attempting to make an out-bound connection to a device on the public
network, the public network IP address of the device should be used e.g. In
Figure 21 the client with address 192.168.2.100 wants to connect to an FTP
server, with the address of 123.45.67.99, on the public network to perform a
firmware download. The FTP address that would be used in the
Configuration/Advanced Settings FTP Server Address or Name would be
123.45.67.99. Note that this is not within the subnet of the Ethernet client,
however the NAT router will do the necessary address translations and packet
header manipulations to ensure the out-bound and in-bound connections are
maintained.
Any traffic between the Airborne Ethernet Adapter’s Ethernet interface and
Ethernet client, on the private network, will not be broadcast on the public
network unless it is directed at the public network.
For most users there will be no modification of the private network settings
needed and if the target Ethernet client uses DHCP to obtain an IP address, no
change in configuration will be required either.
