UDP Relay
This menu configures the TA 544 to act as a UDP relay agent for applications requiring a response from
UDP hosts that are not on the same network segment as their clients.
Mode
When this option is set to
ON
, the TA 544 will act as a relay agent.
UDP Relay List
Up to four relay destination servers can be specified in this list.
Bridge
The B
RIDGE
menu is used to set up the bridge parameters for the TA 544. The bridging function runs at the
Media Access Control (MAC) level which allows any protocol packets that run over Ethernet to be for-
warded. Bridging can run concurrently with IP. However, when IP routing is active, IP packets (which
include ARP packets) are not bridged.
Mode
This is used to enable the bridge function.
Address Table
The TA 544 automatically maintains a table of MAC addresses detected and associates those addresses
with the LAN or WAN port from which they were received.

A
DDRESS
This is the IP address of the server that will re-
ceive the relay packet.

the table before being removed. The value is in min-
utes.
F

When this parameter is set to U
NKNOWN
(def), any
bridge packet with a destination MAC address that
is not in the bridge table is forwarded to all other
ports. When set to K
NOWN
, the packet with the un-
known destination MAC address is dropped and is
not forwarded.
