Configure as an Ethernet IP Router
An Ethernet IP router is used to intelligently route Internet Protocol (IP) LAN traffic to
remotely connected LANs across the WAN.
Figure 2-2 IP Routed Local Area Networks
IP routers forward IP frames based upon their IP destination address and an internal
routing table. The router maintains the internal routing table with the remote network IP
addresses and the remote partner IP routers associated with those networks. When an IP
frame is received from the local LAN, the destination IP address is examined and looked
up in the routing tables. Once the destination IP network is found in the routing tables, the
IP router sends the IP frame to the remote partner Orbitor that is connected to the
appropriate remote IP network. If no explicit route entry is found in the routing tables, the
IP frame is sent to the Default Gateway.
To configure the Orbitor 6000 to be an IP router, the following parameters must be
defined in the built-in menu system.

IP Address
The IP address consists of 4 octets and is represented by 4 fields
separated by periods (“
.
”), where each field is specified by a decimal
number (e.g. 199.169.1.10). Each decimal number must be less than
or equal to 255, that is the maximum value of each 8-bit field.

IP Routing must be disabled on the Orbitor before its IP Address may be
