The router also is pre-configured as an IPX router. This means that if

you wish to bridge IPX traffic instead of routing it, you must disable the

IPX routing function of the router. Once IPX routing has been disabled,

all IPX traffic will be bridged between partner bridges on the WAN.

The two Local Area Networks may be bridged together with minimal

configuration required. Simply connect the routers to each of the

LANs and connect the interface module to the supplied equipment

from the service provider. The WAN set up must be configured

appropriately in order for the links to operate. Once the WAN

connection has been established to the remote partner router, the

router will proceed to bridge the LAN traffic between the two

locations.
If SNMP or Telnet management is required for the router, an IP

address must be defined for each router. The IP address allows

network management stations to use SNMP to configure and monitor

the router remotely. The IP address also allows Telnet stations to

connect to the router and view the built-in menu system without

having to physically connect to the device.

Ä IP Address / Subnet mask size

The IP address consists of four 8-bit numbers and

is represented by 4 fields separated by periods (“.”),

where each field is specified by a decimal number

(e.g. 199.169.1.10). Each decimal number must be

less than or equal to 255 (the maximum value of an

8-bit field).
The IP address is first specified and then you will

be prompted to enter the size of the subnet mask.
