Use these windows to review networks that your unit has discovered through the LAN. By sending out IPX and IP RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and IPX SAP (Service Advertising Protocol) packets and monitoring RIP and SAP packets from other devices, your unit can learn about other networks. The system constantly monitors RIP packets to ensure that the status of the network has remained unchanged. Should a RIP packet indicate a change in status, the unit will update the data in the table and exchange the updated data with all remotes.

Once the local Adit has learned of a network, you may choose to have the Adit advertise broadcast RIP packets on behalf of the actual network. Selecting which networks you wish your local Adit to advertise provides added security by restricting what information is passed on to the remote.

For added control in network advertising, automatic learning may be turned off and, using the Static Network windows, manually enter the network routes to be advertised.
