CONFIGURING YOUR ROUTER
For IP Address and Subnet Mask, type in numbers in the form of
_ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _ . _ _ _, where each _ _ _ is a number ranging from
001 to 255.
IP Address is the IP network address of your router.
Subnet Mask is the IP network mask of your router. There
are five choices for IP routing that may be used individually
or in combination. These choices are available if you are
routing beyond your local network.
The defaults for these options are turned off, or disabled.
Choices:
• Enable RARP allows the router to dynamically petition
for an IP address and IP mask using RARP protocol if
there is a RARP server on the Ethernet network. In
other words, the IP Address and Subnet Mask will
automatically be as signed for the router by the RARP
server (regardless of whether they were already assigned
or not for Unit Designation).
• Enable Default Gateway allows the IP address for
Default Gateway to be used by the router for handling
IP packets with destinations that cannot be determined
by static routing tables or by dynamic routing.
The Default Gateway address is an IP address of a
router or device that the selected router can send
packets to which have destinations it cannot
determine by static routing tables or by dynamic
routing.
• Enable Proxy ARP allows the selected router to handle
the ARP requests of devices on the Ethernet network
that do not have a static routing table or dynamic routing
mode.
