Static Routing
If the Gateway is connected to more than one network, it
may be necessary to set up a static route between them.
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or network.
To create a static route, change the following settings:
Select Set Number • Select the number of the static
route from the drop-down menu. The Gateway
supports up to 20 static route entries. If you need to
delete a route, after selecting the entry, click Delete
This Entry.
Destination IP Address • The Destination IP Address is
the address of the remote network or host to which
you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address
of the host for which you wish to create a static route.
If you are building a route to an entire network, be sure
that the network portion of the IP address is set to 0.
Subnet Mask • The Subnet Mask determines which
portion of a Destination IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Gateway • This is the IP address of the gateway device
that allows for contact between the Adapter and the
remote network or host.
Hop Count • This is the number of hops to each node
until the destination is reached (16 hops maximum).
Enter the Hop Count in this field.

Block WAN Requests
Block Anonymous Internet Requests When enabled,
this feature keeps your network from being “pinged,”
or detected, by other Internet users. It also hides your
network ports. Both make it more difficult for outside users
to enter your network. This filter is enabled by default.
Select Disabled to allow anonymous Internet requests.
