The IP addresses default to values based on the transceiver MAC address of the device. The
derivation is described below. By default, only the first IP address is enabled (for local-DHCP),
and no addresses are reserved for specific MAC addresses. Make sure to check the checkbox
for the client IP addresses you have entered. Client 2and Client 3 are not enabled by default.
The VMM has two interfaces and must use two IP addresses. The wireless network must use
the IP address on the wireless interface because that is the address for which the IAP will proxy
and advertise. The same address will be accessed by the Device Manager when using
MeshManager.
The wired interface address will be used by the VMM as the gateway address for the local
Ethernet segment. The wired subnet mask is configurable so that the user may select a more
restrictive subnet on the local Ethernet segment than what is normally provided to the wireless
subscribers.
The MAC-derived default values are a means to ensure that these devices are likely to work
out-of-the-box. The IP addresses are derived as follows:
Transceiver MAC address: 00:05:12:0A:XX:YY
Derived MAC addresses:
Local gateway: 10.xx.yy.9
Client1: 10.xx.yy.10
Client2: 10.xx.yy.11
Client3: 10.xx.yy.12
Where XX and YY are hex values (from the transceiver MAC address), and the lowercase xx
and yy are the same values in decimal. For example, a VMM with a transceiver MAC address of
00:05:12:0A:80:20 would have a default local gateway address of 10.128.32.9.
The user is encouraged to change these addresses upon installation.
3.5.1 Connecting to the Ethernet Port
If only one device is to be connected to the VMM, you can connect directly to the device using
an Ethernet cable.
If you are going to connect more than one device to the VMM, you will need to connect a hub to
the VMM, and connect the other devices to the hub.
3.6 Working with MeshTray
MeshTray™ is a status and configuration application that reports vital and statistical information
about the VMM. The application must be run on a client attached to the Ethernet port.
To start the MeshTray application, double-click on the MeshTray icon, or from the Start menu
select Programs

MeshTray.exe.
For detailed information about using the MeshTray application, refer to the MeshTray section of
the MEA WMC6300 Windows Users Guide documentation.
