4. Default Operation
When power is applied, the E2C Link will obtain an IP address from the cellular
network. The IP address may be either static or dynamic, but is assigned by
your cellular data provider.
By default, the E2C Link acts as a DHCP server and will assign an IP address to
any equipment that connects via the Ethernet port. The E2C Link will provide the
IP address, subnet mask and default gateway information to the equipment.
If the connected equipment requests or sends data from/to an external IP
address, the E2C Link will use the cellular connection to process the request and
route the data back to the originating equipment.
The device has 3 states:
Power-off: E2C Link does not have power. Power LED is off. Ethernet
and Cellular network are powered down and cannot be detected by the
cellular network or any downstream equipment.
Initialization: When power is applied to E2C Link, the Power LED will turn
on and stay on. The Cellular and Ethernet Status LEDs are off. The
device can take up to 1 minute to initialize itself, connect to the WAN via
cellular connection and LAN via Ethernet port.
Power-On: E2C Link Power LED is on and the Cellular and Ethernet
Status LEDs may be on or blinking to indicate connection status and
activity.
Once the E2C Link has reached the Power-On state, the connected equipment
can get a DHCP address and begin sending/receiving data over the internet.
