HomeLink™ Series
To set up Dynamic Routing:
1.Choose the correct working mode. Gateway Mode should be used if your HomeLink Phoneline Router is hosting your network's connection to the Internet. Router Mode should be selected if the HomeLink Phoneline Router exists on a network with other routers.
2.Choose the protocol by which you transmit data on the network.
3.Choose the protocol by which the HomeLink Phoneline Router receives network data.
4.Click the Apply button to save your changes.
Static Routing
If your HomeLink Phoneline Router is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre- determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. Click the Show Routing Table button to view the current stat- ic routing configuration.

To create a static route entry:
1.Select Static Route Entry from the drop down list. The HomeLink Phoneline Router supports up to 20 static route entries.
2.Enter the following data to create a new static route:
Destination LAN IP The Destination LAN IP is the Address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. If you are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the network portion of the IP address is set to zero. For example, the HomeLink Phoneline Router’s standard IP address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address of the network to which the HomeLink Phoneline Router is con- nected is 192.168.1, with the last digit (1, in this case) determining the HomeLink Phoneline Router’s place on the network. Therefore you would enter the IP address 192.168.1.0 if you wanted to route to the HomeLink Phoneline Router’s entire network, rather than just to the HomeLink Phoneline Router.
Network Mask The Network Mask (also known as the Subnet Mask) deter- mines which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which por- tion is the host portion. In the example above the Network Mask is 255.255.255.0. This determines (by using the values 255) that the first three numbers of an network IP address identify this particular network, while the last digit (from 1 to 254) would identify the specific host.
Gateway IP This IP address should be the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the HomeLink Phoneline Router and the remote network or host.
