route
The “route” command is used for the router function. This is where you are joining two different networks together
via the 245U-E. Refer to “1.1 Getting Started Quickly” for details.
Normally the 245U-E will only accept one routing rule, by using the default gateway IP address on the Main
Network page. If more than one routing rule is needed (for example, for multiple networks each with a different
IP range), a routing table is required. In the example in Figure 99, a routing rule needs to be entered into the
Network A’s PC which will allow access between Network A and Network B. This can be entered at the command
prompt using the following instructions.
• route PRINT will show all active routes on PC.
• route ADD will add a routing table to network.
• route DELETE <destination netmask gateway interface> will delete the unwanted routing table.
• route CHANGE modifies an existing route.
Figure 99 Route
An example of a routing table is shown for the configuration below.

In the Network A PC, a routing rule needs to be set. This will allow Network A and B to have access to each other.
This is entered under the cmd prompt, as follows:
Route ADD 192.168.2.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.191
This says access everything on network B (192.168.2.0) with the mask of 255.255.255.0 on Network A via the
Ethernet IP interface 192.168.0.191.
IP address 192.168.2.0 will allow everything on this network to be shared by the router. When adding a routing
table you will need to enter this address. Once entered, the router will determine whether to pass information
over the router if it is addressed to do so or not. For added security, MAC address filtering could be added, as
discussed earlier in “3.19 Filtering.”
