ADSL Gateway
• Subnet Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask (also known as the Network Mask), which determines which portion
of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion.
• Gateway. Enter the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the
remote network or host.
• Hop Count. Hop Count is the number of hops to each node until the destination is reached (16 hops
maximum). Enter the Hop Count in the field provided.
• Show Routing Table. Click the Show Routing Table button to open a screen displaying how data is routed
through your local network. For each route, the Destination LAN IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and
Interface are displayed. Click the Refresh button to update the information. Click the Close button to return to
the previous screen.
PVC Routing Policy
If you have multiple PVCs, click the PVC Routing Setting button to configure which outgoing traffic will be routed
over which PVC. A window titled PVC Selection Table will appear.
Please select Active Connection. Open this drop-down list and specify the PVC for which you will select traffic.
Traffic can be selected on the basis of any of the following criteria, alone or in combination:
• Destination (IP address and address mask)
• Source (IP address and address mask, or MAC address)
• Transport protocol (TCP, UDP, or All)
• Destination port and/or source port (if protocol is set to TCP or UDP)
• Presence of a specified IEEE 802.1D user priority marker
• IEEE 802.3 Type/Length value (the value in the 13th and 14th octets of an Ethernet frame)
• Presence of a specified IEEE 802.1Q virtual LAN (VLAN) ID
• Packet length between specified minimum and maximum numbers of octets.
• Presence of a specified DSCP (Diffserv Code Point) value (one kind of QoS marker)
