Minor Functional Changes; Learn Mode - Nokia A032 Manual

3. Minor functional changes

Learn mode

16
In this mode, only one of the interfaces is
operational (either LAN or radio) – if the unit is
started up with both a radio card and LAN
connection, then the active interface will be
radio, and the LAN connection ignored;
otherwise, the connected interface will be used.
In LAN learn mode, the unit will attempt to
learn an IP address – if three successive ARP
requests are passed through the unit without a
reply, it will adopt the IP address in the ARP
request for itself. This would normally be used
by plugging the unit into a network, and
accessing it (e.g. pinging the desired IP
address). Once the address is learnt this way,
any one of the configuration methods listed the
user manual can be used to configure the unit.
In radio learn mode, the unit automatically
becomes a limited DHCP server, assigning itself
the first address in the pool (however, it will
respond to any incoming packet with a valid IP
address). This can be used to provide a
permanent configuration, as above.
