Chapter 5 Using Network Connections
Routing Table
Clicking New Route generates the “New Route” window, where a new route can be configured.
Additional IP Addresses
Clicking New IP Address generates the “Additional IP Address Settings” screen, where additional IP addresses can be created to access the Router via the Network (Home/Office) connection.
Ethernet Connection
An Ethernet connection connects computers to the Router using Ethernet cables, either directly or via network hubs and switches. Click Ethernet in the Network Connections screen (if needed, click Advanced at the bottom of the screen to reveal the “Ethernet” link below “Network [Home/Office]”) to generate the “Ethernet Properties” screen. This screen displays a list of the connection’s proper- ties. The only modifications that can be made from this screen are disabling the connection (by clicking Disable) or renaming the connection (by entering a new name in the “Rule Name” text box).
☞Note: If disabling the connection, the Router must be rebooted for the change to take effect.
