STEP FIVE
Now that the central office’s LAN has been defined, a route must be added to tell the router that the remote site’s
LAN is at the other end of the line. Creating a static route is the simplest way to do this. Chapter 9 of the
Installation Manual explains static routes and other routing methods available in CyROS. Fill in the spaces in
Figure 4.17 with the values for your application.

STEP SIX
Now that the parameters have been defined, enter into each menu described above, in the order presented (read
chapter 3, Using Menus, if you have not done so already). Set the parameters in each menu according to the
values you wrote in the figures above. Save the configuration to flash memory at each step when requested —
configurations saved in run memory are erased when the router is turned off. If you saved part of the configuration
to run memory for some reason, save to flash memory now using the menu option ADMIN =>WRITE
CONFIGURATION =>TO FLASH. Be sure to change the superuser password using the menu option CONFIG
=>SECURITY => USERS =>MODIFY. The user ID, super, can remain the same, but the password must be
changed to avoid unauthorized access.
