The MOBOTIX Bridge offers two Ethernet ports to connect the Bridge to the cameras and the Internet.

- WAN Port
- CamLan Port

Typically, to separate the cameras from the Internet, the connection to the Internet router is realised on the WAN port of the bridge and the bridge obtains an address for the WAN port from the router. In this case, the WAN port is the DHCP client.

The CamLan port is only connected to the camera network and acts as a DHCP server for the connected cameras.

> **Note:**  
> In contrast to the standard scenario, cameras that are connected to the bridge via the WAN port can also be managed.

> Mobile Bridge Configurator (for the expert): In most cases, nothing needs to be changed in the bridge configuration, the connection to the cloud happens automatically. In cases where an adjustment of the predefined (automatic) settings is necessary, e.g. assigning a static IP, changing the password, etc., the Mobile Bridge Configurator helps to set this on site via the smartphone instead of connecting a monitor and keyboard. With the help of the network diagnostics, problems in the network can…

1. monitor and keyboard connected directly to the bridge
2. via network and SSH terminal
