Appendix C IR-IP Interface ModuleASM-60Installation and Operation Manual

Operation with Default Gateway

You can instruct IR-IP to send packets with destinations not located on the local LAN to a specific router, which is called the default gateway. The default gateway must be connected to the local LAN.

 

To use this option, enter the IP address of another router attached to the local LAN

 

in the Default Gateway field.

Note

 

It is very important to obtain the correct parameters from the system administrator

 

 

or ISP. The most common problem when establishing an IP connection is incorrect

 

configuration of IP parameters and default gateway. Do not try to guess these

 

parameters.

 

 

Read Protocol from DIP Switches

Selecting YES for this parameter forces IR-IP router card to use the WAN protocol selected by section 2 of its DIP switch: PPP or Frame Relay.

If you want to be able to select the WAN protocol by means of the Protocol field (parameter 7) of the Quick Setup menu, select NO.

Protocol

Used to select the WAN protocol to be used by the IP router card: PPP, HDLC or Frame Relay.

This parameter is available only if the Read Protocol from DIP Switches parameter is set to NO.
