IP Address
This is the IP address of the IPSec port. It should be entered as four decimal numbers separated by periods
ϖNote: This IP address must be on the same IP network as the IPSec Gateway, which is configured using the IPSec Gateway Dialog Box (under Global/IPSec Gateway).
Network IP Subnet Mask
The subnet mask value is used to tell the router what part of the IP address identifies the network segment (the “network” portion), and what part identi- fies individual interfaces (the “host” portion).
If you do not enter a number in the Subnet Mask field, CompatiView will derive a default value from the IP Address number you entered just above. This default assumes you want a single subnet for all of the available host addresses. You must manually set the field if you want to further divide the address range.
To have CompatiView calculate a default mask, make sure that the Subnet Mask field is empty, position the cursor in the IP Address field, then just tab through the Subnet Mask field.
Network IP Broadcast Address
The router will use this address to send any IP broadcast messages. To have CompatiView calculate a default broadcast address, make sure that the Broadcast Address field is empty, position the cursor in the Subnet Mask field, then just tab through the Broadcast Address field.
