•Destination Network - The network address of the remote LAN segment. For standard class "C" LANs, the network address is the first 3 fields of the Destination IP Address. The 4th (last) field can be left at 0.

•Network Mask - The Network Mask for the remote LAN segment. For class "C" networks, the default mask is 255.255.255.0

•Gateway IP Address - The IP Address of the Gateway or Router which the TW100-BRV204 must use to communicate with the destination above. (NOT the router attached to the remote segment.)

•Interface - Normally, this will be "LAN". If NAT is disabled, the "WAN" option can be used for Routers which are accessed via the WAN port.

•Metric - The number of "hops" (routers) to pass through to reach the remote LAN segment. The shortest path will be used. The default value is 1.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the TW100- BRV204 , so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the TW100-BRV204 as the Default Route or Default Gateway.

Local Router

The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the TW100-BRV204 . This router requires that the Default Route is the TW100-BRV204 itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.

Destination IP Address	Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask	Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address	The IP Address of the TW100-BRV204 .
Interface	LAN
Metric	2
