Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration
Guide
This chapter briefly explains the major parameters that must be set in
order to use the router.
Detailed information on the meaning of the router’s parameters is
provided in the CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide
and the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Management
Reference Guide. You should use this list as a starting point to look up
more specific information in the other documents.
If you need more general information on IP and IPX protocols, see the
Appendices in the CompatiView Management Software Reference
Guide.
There are a number of parameter settings which are optional, in the
sense that they are not required for all installations. These settings are
not covered in this chapter.
In this chapter:
CV = CompatiView
TB = Text-Based Configuration
In order to successfully connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP),
you must use router configuration parameters which will be provided by
the technical staff of the ISP. These parameters must include all IP
addresses, WAN settings, and any applicable authorization routines.
Please check with your ISP before configuring or changing the configu-
ration of your MicroRouter 1250i.

Note:
This Basic Configuration Guide does not include information
on setting up packet filters for using the router as a Firewall. See the
CompatiView Management Software Reference Guide or Text-Based
Configuration and Command Line Management Reference Guide
regarding IP packet filters for more information.
