Establishing WAN connectivity via Ethernet Port
In order to provide a cellular connection to client devices, the Accelerated 6300-CX can be configured either in the default Passthrough (i.e. bridge) mode or DHCP Server/Router mode.
Passthrough/Bridge Mode
In this default mode, the device operates as a transparent bridge and all traffic on all ports is passed directly to and from the client device connected to the device's Ethernet port. In Passthrough mode, a single IP address will be available through the device's Ethernet port. Only one client device can be connected to the Accelerated 6300-CX through its Ethernet port at a time.
1. Login to Accelerated View and use the Search tool to find the device by searching for its MAC address.
2. Select the MAC address of the device to bring up its details page.
3. Select the View Configuration link in the Configuration section of the page.
4. Once viewing the configuration profile, select the Edit pencil icon at the top right of the page.
5. Under the Modem section of the configuration, open the Passthrough section and set the
following options inside that section:
a. Check Enable.
b. Change Device to LAN.
c. Change Zone to Internal.
6. Change the Interface Type under the LAN network section
from DHCP to Static IP Address.
7. In the Address, enter in the IP address you wish to assign
to the device for its LAN DHCP network (i.e. the
gateway IP for the DHCP network).
8. Open the DHCP Server section and select Disable.
9. Click Save to apply the configuration changes.

Router Mode
In this mode, the device operates as a standard DHCP router. The device will be configured to hand out a range of LAN IP addresses to client devices connected on its Ethernet port. Standard router options are available in the device's configuration, including DHCP lease options, DNS options, firewall options, and port forwarding rules.
The following list of steps details how to setup a simple DHCP server on the device in router mode.

2. Select the MAC address of the device to bring up its details page.
3. Select the View Configuration link in the Configuration section of the page.
4. Once viewing the configuration profile, select the green Edit pencil icon at the top right of the page.
5. Open the Modem -> Passthrough section, de-select the Enable checkbox.
6. Change the Network -> Interfaces -> LAN -> IPv4 -> Interface Type option from DHCP to Static IP Address.
7. In the Network -> Interfaces -> LAN -> IPv4 -> Address option, enter in the IP address you wish to assign to the device for its LAN DHCP network (i.e. the gateway IP for the DHCP network).
8. Open the Network -> Interfaces -> LAN -> IPv4 -> Address -> DHCP Server section and select Enable.
