Field Description
Host Connection
Mode
Sets the Host Interface to use the Public IP address granted by the cellular network or
private IP addresses. All host interfaces which are not using the public IP address use
private IP addresses. The options are:
• Ethernet Uses Public IP*
• All Hosts Use Private IP—(Default)
• USB Uses Public IP
• RS232 Uses Public IP
• First Host gets Public IP
If you select this option, you do not have to specify the type of connection that uses
the Public IP address. The first device to connect uses the Public IP address,
regardless of whether it has a USB or Ethernet connection.
For more information on Private and Public mode, see Private and Public Mode on
page 67.
Caution: * If the AirLink GX Series device has a Dual Ethernet X-Card installed, selecting
this option disables the additional Ethernet ports on the Dual Ethernet X-Card. The main
Ethernet port is still functional.
Note: The connected computer receives the DHCP address from ALEOS and it also
provides a static route (192.168.13.31 by default) that allows you to access ACEmanager
from a connected laptop.

Choose the option that matches the subnet mask received from the mobile network.
