3.7 Routing Configuration

You can use the Routing Configuration page of your

Configuration Manager to define specific routes for your LAN and

Internet data.
Most users do not need to define IP routes. On a typical small

home or office LAN, the existing routes picked up automatically by

the ADSL Ethernet are the most appropriate path for your Internet

traffic.
However, you may need to define routes if your setup includes two

or more networks or subnets, if you connect to two or more ISPs,

or if you connect to a remote corporate LAN. Without a route

table, a computer on an additional network or subnet is invisible to
the ADSL Ethernet. The route table acts as a map for the modem,

so that it can direct traffic to the correct location.
The Routing Configuration page lets you add up to 20 static IP

routes.
