5.6.1.
RIP Routing
RIP Enable:
Enables the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
5.6.2.
Static Routes
The Logic-5000 will automatically set up routing to all devices on the same subnet. In some
cases however, the Logic-5000 unit may need to communicate with a previously existing
subnet other than its own. This route cannot automatically be generated; it must be
manually entered as a static route by the user. The static route gives the Logic-5000 its
“next hop” instructions.
Route no:
A generic number assigned to the route. Multiple static routes can be assigned
as long as they have distinct route numbers.
Route Name:
Nickname assigned to the route by the user.
Destination IP Address:
This is the destination IP address that is delivered to the Logic-
5000 radio modem. Since this IP address will not be on the same subnet, the Logic-5000
will not have a defined route, and will not know where to send it by default. Setting up the
static route will inform the Logic-5000 where to send the data.
IP Subnet Mask:
The subnet mask is defined by the subnet mask of the destination
address
Gateway IP Address:
This is the address that the data packet will be routed to.
Note:
The device at this address must be a router that is either on the same subnet as
the Destination IP or one with its own statically setup route to the destination
address. If this is not the case, the packet data will be dropped.
Metric:
This sets the priority of the routes compared to other static routes defined. The
lower the number, the higher priority the route.
Click on “Add” when all necessary information has been entered. The route will be shown on
the bottom of the screen (under Static Routing Table). Additional routes can be added
provided they have a unique Route no, name and metric. Routes can be deleted by clicking
the Delete Entry option of the desired entry.
Note:
Routing Table
(found under “Table” tab) shows all routes, while
Static Table
(found under “Settings” tab) shows manually entered routes only.

Routing Table
The table in Figure 22 shows a list of all routes (static and dynamic).
