CRADLEPOINT MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.2

6.8.2 Local Network Editor

The Local Network Editor contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, DHCP Server and

Schedule.

IP Settings:

Enabled: Push to manually disable a network. Also, some

settings could cause a network to be automatically disabled:

click here to re-enable the network.

Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during

other administration tasks.

Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is

the DNS name associated with the router's local area

network IP address.

NOTE: You can access the router’s administration pages by typing the

hostname into your browser, so if you change “cp” to another hostname,

you can access the administration pages through the new hostname.

IP Address: This is the address used by the router for local

area network communication. Changes to this parameter

may require a restart to computers on this network.

Each network must have a distinct IP address. Most users

will want an address from one of the following private IP

ranges:

• 10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.1

• 172.16.0.1 - 172.31.255.1

• 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.1

NOTE: The final number does not have to be 1, but it is a simple, logical convention for routers that leaves higher numbers free for other devices.

Netmask: (Default: 255.255.255.0) The netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The

default value allows for 254 IP addresses, which is enough in most cases.
