Operation with Default Gateway
You can instruct IR-IP to send packets with destinations not located on the local
LAN to a specific router, which is called the default gateway. The default gateway
must be connected to the local LAN.
To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN
in the Default Gateway field.
It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system administrator
or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect
configuration of IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these
parameters.
DHCP Relay
IR-IP can operate as a DHCP relay for computers on its LAN. In this mode, the
user does not need to configure the IP addresses and other related parameters for
the PCs on the LAN: they receive the configuration from the DHCP server via the
IR-IP module.

To configure the IR-IP as a DHCP relay:
• From the Quick Setup menu, select DHCP Server IP Address and enter the IP
address of the DHCP server.
Leaving the DHCP Server IP Address field blank disables the DHCP relay.
Read Protocol from DIP Switches
Selecting YES for this parameter forces IR-IP router card to use the WAN protocol
selected by section 2 of its DIP switch: PPP or Frame Relay.
If you want to be able to select the WAN protocol by means of the Protocol field
(parameter 7) of the Quick Setup menu, select NO.
