3e Technologies International Inc. 527A3 User Manual

You have the option to configure the second byte of the IP address to 

limit the range in which the IP addresses are distributed. For example, if 

your network already uses the 10.0.0.0 network address for other devices, 

you can limit the auto configuration to an upper range of 10.128.0.0 and 

the IP addresses will start from that number.

The automatic IP address configuration feature uses the last three 

bytes of the WAN MAC address for the last three bytes of the IP address. 

For example, the WAN MAC address of 00:07:D5:01:02:03 will translate to 

an IP address of 10.1.2.3. If the starting range of the automatic IP address 

configuration is set to 10.128.0.0 and the WAN MAC address is 00:07:D5:

01:02:03, then the IP address is pushed to the upper range and becomes 

10.129.2.3 (basically the second byte adds 128+1). The MAC addresses on 

the WAN port are from the 3eTI's address pool of 16 million addresses. 

There is a small chance for duplicate MACs. However, if a duplicate IP 

address is detected, the bridge site map will show this device with a red 

IP address. The distributed default gateway is the first IP address in the 

valid range. For example: for 10.128.0.0, the default gateway is 10.128.0.1. 

The distributed netmask is 255.0.0.0.

The System Administration — Factory Default screen is used to reset 

the AP to its factory settings.

The "Restore" button is a fallback troubleshooting function that should 

only be used to reset to original settings. 

Only the Crypto Officer role has access to the Restore button.
