Neighbour IP
IP address of the Neighbour module you wish to monitor. IP
address should be the Radio address of the WI-I/O 9-U2

4.4.3 IP Routing
When a WI-I/O 9-U2 receives an IP frame that is destined for an IP address on a
different network, it checks to see if the network address matches one of its own
interfaces (i.e. hard-wired Ethernet, or Radio) and forwards the frame appropriately.
However, if the IP network address does not match the network address of any of its
interfaces, the WI-I/O 9-U2 will forward the frame to its default gateway. In this case it is
assumed that the default gateway has a valid route to the destination.
In some cases, it is not practical to have just one default gateway (i.e. routed wireless
networks with more than two WI-I/O 9-U2
routers. If more than one “next-hop router” is
required, the WI-I/O 9-U2 allows for up to 100 routing rules to be configured. A routing
rule specifies a destination network (or host) IP address and the corresponding next-
hop router that messages for the specified destination will be forwarded to (Gateway). It
is assumed that the Gateway will then deliver the data to the required destination (or
forward it on to another router that will).

Name
A name to describe the routing rules (Max 32 characters).
Destination
The destination network or Host IP address. You can specify a
whole network by entering the IP range 192.168.0.0 with a Netmask
of 255.255.255.0 or specify an individual host IP address by setting
the Netmask to 255.255.255.255.
