Routing Settings

Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination. The RF802EW 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: A routing table is required to use the LAN-to-LAN routing function of the RF802EW.

1.From the main Manager dialog box, select Routing Settings.

2.The Routing Settings dialog box displays.

Static Routing

For each different subnet on your LAN, enter:

IP:	Enter the (network/subnet) IP address to which you want to route.
Netmask:	Enter the subnet mask of your Network IP address.
Gateway:	Enter 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 RF802EW. 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.
Interface:	Select the port (LAN or WAN) that the routed packet should pass
	through. Select Local Network if you are using a separate router. If
	you are using the RF802EW with the LAN -to- LAN function, the
	Interface should be set as the WAN port that connects you to the other
	subnet.
	Click Insert to save the information to the routing table.
	To delete this information, select it from the routing table and click
	Delete.
Default Gateway:	Default gateway is an IP address that all packets are routed to, when
	the device is unable to find a route match (the destination IP address of
	the packet in the routing table).
	Click Add Default Gateway to save the IP address of the default
	gateway.
Interface:	Select the port (LAN or WAN) interface where the gateway is
	located.
