A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique
piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will require
you to register a MAC address in order to access the
Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address
with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have
currently registered with your ISP to the Gateway with the
MAC Address Clone feature.

Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
NAT If this Gateway is hosting your network’s connection
to the Internet, keep the default, Enable. If another
gateway or router exists on your network, select Dsable.
Dynamic Routing
RIP This allows the Gateway to automatically adjust to
physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange
routing tables with other router(s). The Gateway determines
the packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops
between source and destination. Select Enable to use
Dynamic Routing. Otherwise, keep the default, Dsable.
RIP Send Packet Verson, and RIP Receved Packet
Verson Select the appropriate protocol version, RIP v
or RIP v2. This should match the version supported by
other routers on your LAN.
Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or network.
Enter the following information to set up a new static route.
Select Set Number To set up a static route between the
Gateway and another network, select a number from the
drop-down list. The Gateway supports up to 20 static route
entries. Click Delete Ths Entry to delete a static route.
Destnaton IP Address The Destination IP Address is
the IP address of the remote network or host to which
you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of
the host for which you wish to create a static route. If you
are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the
network portion of the IP address is set to 0.
Subnet Mask The Subnet Mask determines which
portion of a Destination IP Address is the network portion,
and which portion is the host portion.
