IP

Use this menu to configure IP settings.

MODE	Setting to ON (def) will permit this connection
	profile to negotiate PPP IPCP with the PPP peer
	for exchanging of IP packets.
LOCAL IP	This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
	dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
	left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.
NETMASK	This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
	dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
	left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.
REMOTE IP	This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
	dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
	left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.

NAT

ROUTE

The TA 544 can perform network address trans- lation. This feature is most widely used when connecting to the Internet. The Ethernet network can consist of private network numbers. When this profile is connected, all IP addresses on the Ethernet side are translated into the one real IP address negotiated with the PPP peer (ISP). Mul- tiple stations on the Ethernet side can access the Internet simultaneously. Setting this option to ON will cause the TA 544 to perform NAT. In the OFF position (def), the unit will route across the connection normally.

The IP parameters are configured in this menu. Adjusting these parameters is only necessary for certain dial-on-demand applications. Usually, the TA 544 will discover the PPP peer’s network automatically using PPP IPCP and/or RIP.

RIP	Use this menu to enable RIP on the WAN inter-
	face.
MODE	Enables or disables RIP.
PROTOCOL	Specifies the RIP protocol. Choices are V1
	(which is RIP version 1) or V2 (RIP version 2).
METHOD	Specifies the way the RIP protocol sends out its
	advertisements. Choices are given below.
NONE	All routes in the router table are advertised
	with no modification of the metrics.
SPLIT HORIZON	Only routes not learned from this circuit are
	advertised.
POISON REVERSE (def)	All routes are advertised, but the routes
	learned from this port are “poisoned” with an
	infinite metric.
