If you do not want to use the Wi-Fi interface of your NETIO 4/4All at all, choose the Cable mode. In
this mode, NETIO 4/4All is connected via the Ethernet (as the primary network interface) and Wi-Fi
is switched off.
Figure 31. Configuring the Cable network mode
If you prefer to access NETIO 4/4All via a local Wi-Fi network, choose the Wi-Fi Client mode. In this
mode, NETIO 4/4All connects over Wi-Fi (as the primary network interface) to the Wi-Fi access
point of your network. Ethernet (as the secondary network interface) is assigned a separate network
address range and only serves as a back-up method for accessing your device. The IP address at the
Ethernet interface will be 192.168.2.78, and a DHCP server is active at this interface and assigning
addresses from the 192.168.2.0/24 range.
In the Wi-Fi Client mode, NETIO 4/4All should NOT be simultaneously connected to a network
with another active primary DHCP server. This will avoid a situation where other network
devices would receive IP addresses from NETIO 4/4All (if your primary DHCP server works with a
different IP range, such devices could become inaccessible from other network elements).
There is no routing or bridging between the Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces. Any device connected to
the Ethernet interface of your NETIO 4/4All is not accessible via the Wi-Fi network to which your
NETIO 4/4All is connected.
