Feature
The 7550/7500 supports two simultaneous LAN networks: Private and Public
NOTE: The Private LAN address for the 7550 is 192.168.254.254, the Private
LAN address for the 7500 is 192.168.1.1.
The SE567 only supports a private LAN*: customer devices assigned private addresses (like 192.168.254.1).
The SX762 only supports a public LAN*: customer devices assigned public addresses (LAN Block from work order).

What does this mean?
When deploying a 7550 to a Static Business Class customer, there are no restrictions on wireless use. (Wireless devices can use the Private LAN)
Any customer devices
manually provisioned
with the assigned LAN Block IP addresses will use the Public LAN. These devices on the Public LAN will have unrestricted Internet access, both incoming and outgoing.
Any customer devices
requesting an IP address
will be assigned addresses from the Private LAN (via the DHCP server). These devices on the Private
LAN will have unrestricted Internet access in only the outbound direction (to the Internet). Internet devices trying to initiate a connection to a Private LAN device will be blocked by network address translation (NAT).

A typical scenario using both Private and Public LANs together is shown here: A customer with 1 usable public LAN address (/30) can still benefit from wireless by using the 33 available private addresses for wireless connections.
Wireless users connect, and are assigned private IP addresses. They access the Internet through the Private LAN –
just like residential HSI
.
Wired devices have been pre-provisioned with addresses from the Public
LAN block. They access the Internet through the Public LAN.
Devices on different LANs do not have access to each other.
