otherwise select Static and enter the IP address & subnet mask in the
following fields.
Dynamic
Rem IP Address If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to
the remote node.
Rem IP Subnet
Mask
If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned to
the remote node.
My WAN Addr Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require the
WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the LAN and
each end must have a unique address within the WAN network number.
If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned to the WAN port of
your Prestige.
Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the
remote router.

Metric The metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes.
IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum
of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that approximates
the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be
between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
1 to 15
