(Refer to “6.1.1 Accessing WSU, 3) Select [Network] page then Click [WAN] menu.” for

more details)

3.3. Understanding Modem Router Mode

On Modem router mode, BC-3GM gets an IP from ISP (Internet Service Provider)

then BC-3GM keeps the IP and shares the IP with connected Host PC via NAT.

BC-3GM User Manual Page 12 of 39

The main feature is that BC-3GM gets the mobile IP from ISP and your PC

connected with BC-3GM has a private IP from DHCP of BC-3GM.

On Modem Router mode, there are two kinds of options, one is always On-line and

the other one is Demand On-line under Manual mode. For these options, please

refer to [WAN] settings.

4. SETTING UP YOUR PC ENVIRONMENT

4.1. Setting up host PC

BC-3GM initial status is set as Modem router mode/Always On-line for the first

time. Therefore the first step is to connect a LAN cable (Direct) between your

PC and LAN port of BC-3GM. Set the network environment of your PC as

automatically.

1. Take Windows XP as an example, to connect between PC and BC-3GM, point

cursor over “My Network Places” and click right button on your mouse, then

select [properties] in the menu.

[Picture 4.1: Step 1 of setting up your PC’s network environment]

2. Check the “Local Area Connection” then click the right button on your mouse

then select [Properties] in the menu.
