Gateway IP Address:
Selects ppp (this modem's wireless internet connection), pptp (VPN Client), or the local network IP
address for the gateway to the destination address. As an example, data by default will go through
ppp. But if pptp (VPN Client) is on, routing can go around the VPN by selecting ppp.
Local IP Address:
This is only used if local IP Addr was selected for gateway. Enter the address of the local gateway.
Metric:
Number ranging from 1 to 20. The lower the metric value the higher the route priority.
The ADD button must be pressed to add the configured route to the Static Route Table.
As an example, if a router connected on the Ethernet side of the modem has a gateway IP address
of 192.168.1.2 and is interfaced to network 192.168.2.0 the following would be entered in the Static
Route Table to allow a device to get on the 192.168.2.0 network.
Set the Route Number to 1, name the Route (i.e. Route1), set the destination IP Address to
192.168.2.0, set the IP Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0, set the Gateway IP Address to 192.168.1.2,
and set the Metric to 1. The entry will be made in the Static Route Table, Figure 11.2 below.
