telephone company supplies.

Rem IP Adress

This will show the IP address you entered for this remote node
in the previous menu.

Rem IP Subnet
Mask

Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.

My Wan
Address

Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require
the WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the
LAN and each end must have a unique address within the WAN
network number. If this is the case, enter the IP address
assigned to the WAN port of your Prestige.

NOTE: This is the address assigned to your local Prestige WAN,
not the remote router. If the remote router is a Prestige, then
this entry determines the local Prestige Rem IP Addr in Menu

Metric

Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes.
IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a
minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number
that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be
precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is
usually a good number.

1 to 15

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route
to this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route
is kept private and not included in RIP broadcast. If No, the
route to this remote node will be propagated to other hosts
through RIP broadcasts.

Yes or No
