MDS 05-6399A01, Rev. D MDS Master Station 41
5.6.2 LAN
Understanding
The Master Station has external Local Area Network (LAN) ports ( ETH1/2 ports) that can be used to
connect to a local (wired) LAN. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and may be assigned multiple
IP addresses. The LAN port can be assigned static IP addresses or a dynamically allocated address can be
assigned using DHCP.
NOTE
The LAN port should be assigned IP addresses only if it is a routed interface (that is, not in a
bridge).
Configuring
From the Interfaces screen the status may be displayed by clicking on the interface and scrolling down to
the statistics information:
Navigate to: Home / Interfaces
To configure the LAN interface, select the eth-0/0/0 or eth-0/0/1. As shown in the screens below, there
are five groups of configuration settings that can be configured: eth-0/0/x, Filter, NAT, eth-0/0/x specifics
• Description - User defined identifier for this connection - 0-34 characters
• Type - Identifier of the type of interface - Do Not Change
