• Destination IP Address - The network address of the
remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the
network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP

Configuring Other Broadband routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the
Wireless Broadband router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN,
or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless
Broadband router as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Broadband router
The local broadband router is the Broadband router installed on the same LAN seg-
ment as the Wireless Broadband router. This broadband router requires that the
Default Route is the Wireless Broadband router itself. Typically, broadband routers
have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your broadband router
documentation.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your broadband router
documentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless Broadband router.
