Enable drop-in mode using the Setup Wizard. After enabling this feature and selecting the WAN

for drop-in mode, various settings, including the WAN's connection method and IP address, will

be automatically updated.

When drop-in mode is enabled, the LAN and the WAN for drop-in mode ports will be bridged.

Traffic between the LAN hosts and WAN router will be forwarded between the devices. In this

case, the hosts on both sides will not notice any IP or MAC address changes.

After successfully setting up the Peplink Balance as part of the network using drop-in mode, it

will, depending on model, support one or more WAN connections. Some MediaFast units also

support multiple WAN connections after activating drop-in mode, though a SpeedFusion license

may be required to activate more than one WAN port.

Please note the Drop-In Mode is mutually exclusive with VLAN.

Drop-in mode eases the installation of the Peplink Balance on a live network between the
