How to Access This Screen

2. The Routing Settings screen displays. This is the only screen for the Routing
Settings function.
Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination. The
RF500S acts as a router to enable messages to pass from one computer to another and
eventually reach the target machine. Part of this process involves analyzing a routing
table to determine the best path. Use the information below to create a routing table to
connect your network to another network, or to connect subnets within your network.
Note: This table is required to use the LAN-to-LAN routing function of the RF500S.

Static Routing

For each different subnet on your LAN, enter:
IP: The (network/subnet) IP address to which you want to route.
Netmask: The subnet mask of your Network IP address.
Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device linking your network to the other
network/subnet. The IP address should be in the same subnet as your RF500S. If
you are using this device with the LAN-to-LAN function, the gateway IP should be
set as the IP address of the RouteFinder.
