LABEL	DESCRIPTION
RIP Direction	RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to
	exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls
	the sending and receiving of RIP packets. Select the RIP direction from Both/In
	Only/Out Only/None. When set to Both or Out Only, the HomeSafe will broadcast
	its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the
	RIP information that it receives; when set to None, it will not send any RIP packets
	and will ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version	The RIP Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
	packets that the HomeSafe sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-
	1 is universally supported but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably
	adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology. Both
	RIP-2Band RIP-2Msends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being
	that RIP-2Buses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2Muses multicasting. Multicasting
	can reduce the load on non-router machines since they generally do not listen to
	the RIP multicast address and so will not receive the RIP packets. However, if one
	router uses multicasting, then all routers on your network must use multicasting,
	also. By default, RIP direction is set to Both and the Version set to RIP-1.
