Task 2: Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces
SM NAT DNS Considerations
SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT
is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF
Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client
functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged
with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document.

Reconnecting to the management PC
If the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP Address of the unit have been updated to
meet network requirements, then reconfigure the local management PC to use an IP
address that is valid for the network. See Configuring the management PC on page 13.
Once the unit reboots, log in using the new IP address. See Logging into the web interface
on page 15.
