IP-ROUTE/default written
The system can support multiple default routes. The profile name does not have to be
default
. The only requirements are that the destination address must be zero, and
Gateway-Address must specify a valid, accessible router.
For information about other settings in the IP-Route profile, see the
Stinger Reference
Guide

Verifying a LAN connection for administrators
To enable administrators to log into the Stinger unit’s interface from IP hosts, you
must also make sure your local network can route to the unit. Your network router
must have network connectivity through intermediate routers so that the
administrative host can access the Stinger unit via its IP address. You can test this
connectivity by pinging the unit from the local host. For example, the following
command entered on a local host tests connectivity to the Stinger soft interface,
identified previously:
% ping 1.1.1.128
PING 1.1.1.128 (1.1.1.128): 56 Data bytes
64 bytes from 1.1.1.128: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.128: icmp_seq=7 ttl=255 time=0 ms
^C
--- 1.1.1.128 Ping statistics ---
8 packets transmitted, 8 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
Configuring system clocking
The Stinger unit requires a clock source for its timing subsystem. By default, it uses a
built-in 8kHz clock on the control module as its timing source. You can configure the
system to take its clock source from a trunk port or from an external building
interoffice timing source (BITS) clock connected to the Stinger MS+ unit.
Using the default (controller) clock source
The Stinger unit has an internal 8kHz clock on its control module. By default, the
unit uses the clock on the control module as the source for its timing subsystem. To
configure the unit to obtain its clock signal from another source, set the following
parameter (shown with its default setting):
