3.5 REACHBACK SETTINGS
The ‘Reachback’ tab contains controls for configuring the BreadCrumb device’s interconnection with other
networks, both wired and wireless:
Figure 11. BreadCrumb Properties – Reachback Tab
The available settings are:
3.5.1. REACHBACK INTERFACE
This dropdown selects the network interface on the BreadCrumb device that will connect to the other network.
Available options are (depending upon the BreadCrumb model and options):
a. None: Disables reachback.
b. Ethernet Reachback will be configured to use the BreadCrumb device’s Ethernet port (if any).
Note: The reachback mode for eth1 is always bridge. Therefore, eth0 is the only port that can be changed.
The type of Ethernet cable required depends upon the device to which you are connecting. If the
BreadCrumb device’s Ethernet port is to be connected to a hub or a switch, a conventional Ethernet patch
cable (‘straight-through’) should be used. If the BreadCrumb device’s Ethernet port is to be connected
directly to a device such as laptop or camera, a crossover cable should be used. Using the wrong cable
will result in no connectivity.
c. Radio2 Reachback will be configured to use the BreadCrumb device’s second radio (if any).
