The router also is pre-configured as an IPX router. This means that if
you wish to bridge IPX traffic instead of routing it, you must disable the
IPX routing function of the router. Once IPX routing has been disabled,
all IPX traffic will be bridged between partner bridges on the WAN.
The two Local Area Networks may be bridged together with minimal
configuration required. Simply connect the routers to each of the
LANs and connect the interface module to the supplied equipment
from the service provider. The WAN set up must be configured
appropriately in order for the links to operate. Once the WAN
connection has been established to the remote partner router, the
router will proceed to bridge the LAN traffic between the two
locations.
If SNMP or Telnet management is required for the router, an IP
address must be defined for each router. The IP address allows
network management stations to use SNMP to configure and monitor
the router remotely. The IP address also allows Telnet stations to
connect to the router and view the built-in menu system without
having to physically connect to the device.

The IP address consists of four 8-bit numbers and
is represented by 4 fields separated by periods (“.”),
where each field is specified by a decimal number
(e.g. 199.169.1.10). Each decimal number must be
less than or equal to 255 (the maximum value of an
8-bit field).
The IP address is first specified and then you will
be prompted to enter the size of the subnet mask.
