Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

IP Config

Click on the IP Config button on the menu to reveal
the submenu. Follow the instructions to set up the R100
Wireless Gateway. Tips are displayed when you move
your cursor over an item.

Route

A route is a possible path from a
given host to another host or
destination. If you append one or
more routers behind the R100
Wireless Gateway to share the
same connection to the Internet,
you need to insert predefined
routing rules , called static route,

into the gateway. This way the wireless gateway will know which
router the packets from the Internet with different destination IP
addresses can be delivered to.

Apply to routing table? – Selecting Yes applies all those rules in
the Static Route List to the routing table.

Static Route List
Network/Host IP
– This stands for the destination IP address of the
network or host. It could be an IP address, such as 192.168.1.1 or a
range of IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.0 or 192.0.0.0. If a packet
is sent/received with a destination IP address that matches this field
or is within the ranges of this field, it will route to the device set in the
Gateway field.

Netmask this defines the netmask of an added network route.

Gateway - This field stands for the IP address of the gateway where
packets are routed. The specified gateway must be reachable first. It
means you have to set up a static route to the gateway beforehand.
