Chapter 5 - RouteFinder Manager

LAN Ethernet Segment

Server IP address

This IP address is the internal LAN IP address of the RF802EW. The address entered into the Setup Wizard is displayed here (for example, 192.168.2.1).

Server IP Netmask

The RF802EW subnet mask generally can be left at the default value of 255.255.255.0.

WAN Ethernet Segment

Select NAT (Network Address Translation) to provide firewall protection and enable all local LAN users to share one IP address to access the Internet. If the NAT box is not selected, the WAN Ethernet is configured as a router to route network traffic between the LAN Ethernet segment and the WAN Ethernet segment. The External Port IP Addresses are provided by your ISP or remote system administrator.

PPPoE

If your ISP uses Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet for authentication purposes, select the PPPoE box and enter your ISP account User Name and Password.

External Port IP Address

Enter the IP address provided by your ISP or remote system administrator.

External Port IP Netmask

Enter the subnet mask of the port as provided by your ISP or remote system administrator.

Gateway IP Address

Enter your ISP or remote network’s Gateway IP address.

Note: If your ISP uses a DHCP server to automatically assign a login IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address or DNS IP address, enter 0.0.0.0 as your External Port IP Address and the Gateway IP Address.

Async Port

The Async Port can be configured to provide either IP Routing or Remote Access. IP Routing is used to connect your network to another router through the Serial async port. Remote Access allows remote users to dial-in to the device to access and share network resources as if they were logged on to the network locally.

1.To configure the RF802EW for IP Routing, select IP Routing in the Async Port section of the General Settings dialog box.

2.Click PPP Settings.
