DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

My WAN IP

Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.

 

 

Address

 

 

 

My WAN IP Subnet

Type your network's IP subnet Mask.

 

 

Mask (Ethernet

 

 

 

only)

 

 

 

Remote IP Address

Enter the Remote IP Address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gateway/Remote

Enter the gateway IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field if you

 

 

IP Address

selected Use Fixed IP Address.

 

 

Network Address

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol

 

 

Translation

address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local

 

 

 

network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a

 

 

 

public IP address used on the Internet).

 

 

 

Choose None to disable NAT.

 

 

 

Choose SUA Only if you have a single public IP address. SUA (Single User

 

 

 

Account) is a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping: Many-to-One

 

 

 

and Server.

 

 

 

Choose Full Feature if you have multiple public IP addresses. Full Feature

 

 

 

mapping types include: One-to-One, Many-to-One(SUA/PAT), Many-to-Many

 

 

 

Overload, Many- One-to-One and Server. When you select Full Feature you

 

 

 

must configure at least one address mapping set!

 

 

 

For more information about NAT refer to the NAT chapter in this User's Guide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Metric (PPPoE and

This field sets this route's priority among the routes the HomeSafe uses.

 

 

PPTP only)

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines the best

 

 

 

route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest "cost". RIP routing uses

 

 

 

hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum of "1" for directly

 

 

 

connected networks. The number must be between "1" and "15"; a number

 

 

 

greater than "15" means the link is down. The smaller the number, the lower the

 

 

 

"cost".

 

 

Private (PPPoE and

This parameter determines if the HomeSafe will include the route to this remote

 

 

PPTP only)

node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is kept private and not included

 

 

 

in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to this remote node will be propagated to other

 

 

 

hosts through RIP broadcasts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIP Direction

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing

 

 

 

information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and

 

 

 

receiving of RIP packets.

 

 

 

Choose Both, None, In Only or Out Only.

 

 

 

When set to Both or Out Only, the HomeSafe will broadcast its routing table

 

 

 

periodically.

 

 

 

When set to Both or In Only, the HomeSafe will incorporate RIP information that

 

 

 

it receives.

 

 

 

When set to None, the HomeSafe will not send any RIP packets and will ignore

 

 

 

any RIP packets received.

 

 

 

By default, RIP Direction is set to Both.
