Settings		Description
LAN TCP/IP	IP Address	The LAN IP address of the modem router.
Setup
	IP Subnet Mask	The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with
		the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know
		which other addresses are local to it, and which must be
		reached through a gateway or modem router.
	RIP Direction	RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to
		exchange routing information with other routers. This
		setting controls how the modem router sends and receives
		RIP packets. Both is the default.
		• Both or Out Only. The modem router broadcasts its
		routing table periodically.
		• Both or In Only. The modem router incorporates the RIP
		information that it receives.
		• None. The modem router will not send any RIP packets
		and will ignore any RIP packets received.
	RIP Version	This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
		RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes
		both formats when receiving. By default, this is RIP-1.
		• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
		networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
		• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M
		send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses
		subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
