WAN Address Configuration Source
The Wide Area Network (WAN) address is the public IP address attributed to the Mediatrix 4100. This address
is used for incoming signalling, media and management traffic.
 To set the WAN IP address configuration source:
1. In the ipAddressConfig folder, locate the localHostWanAddressSelectConfigSource variable (under
the ipAddressConfigLocalHost group).
This variable indicates the source to be used for the provisioning of the WAN address. It offers the
following choices:
2. Restart the Mediatrix 4100 so that the changes may take effect.
Note: Media5 recommends not to set a static subnet mask address of 255.255.255.254 because this would
only create a subnet with two addresses. This only leaves one bit host addresses. Since a subnet must have
a network (all bits 0) and a broadcast address (all bits 1), this leaves no room for hosts.
Note: If the localHostDnsOverrideEnable variable is enabled, the primary and secondary DNS addresses
are set with static values. See “Static DNS” on page 46 for more details.
