The LAN TCP/IP Setup settings are:
IP Address. This is the LAN IP address of the modem router.
IP Subnet Mask. This is the LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
which must be reached through a gateway or modem router.
RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a modem router to exchange routing
information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the modem router
sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default setting.
When set to Both or Out Only, the modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
When set to Both or In Only, the modem router incorporates the RIP information that it
receives.
When set to one, the modem router does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP
packets received.
RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for
RIP-1.
RIP-1. This version is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
RIP-2. This version carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing
data in RIP-2 format.
RIP-2B. This version uses subnet broadcasting.
RIP-2M. This version uses multicasting.
Access Router Management Interface on additional port. When NAT is disabled, the
modem router’s management interface may be accessed at the modem router’s LAN address
using the port number you enter. This feature is not available when NAT is enabled.
ote: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem router while connected through
the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the
new IP address and log in again.
