Applications

The router also is pre-configured as an IPX router. This means that if you wish to bridge IPX traffic instead of routing it, you must disable the IPX routing function of the router. Once IPX routing has been disabled, all IPX traffic will be bridged between partner bridges on the WAN.

The two Local Area Networks may be bridged together with minimal configuration required. Simply connect the routers to each of the LANs and connect the interface module to the supplied equipment from the service provider. The WAN set up must be configured appropriately in order for the links to operate. Once the WAN connection has been established to the remote partner router, the router will proceed to bridge the LAN traffic between the two locations.

If SNMP or Telnet management is required for the router, an IP address must be defined for each router. The IP address allows network management stations to use SNMP to configure and monitor the router remotely. The IP address also allows Telnet stations to connect to the router and view the built-in menu system without having to physically connect to the device.

ÄIP Address / Subnet mask size

The IP address consists of four 8-bit numbers and is represented by 4 fields separated by periods (“.”), where each field is specified by a decimal number (e.g. 199.169.1.10). Each decimal number must be less than or equal to 255 (the maximum value of an 8-bit field).

The IP address is first specified and then you will be prompted to enter the size of the subnet mask.
