screen fields and their definitions:
Field
Description
Choose a Connection
Choose the connection profile from the drop-down list.
New Destination IP
This is the destination network or Host IP to which packets will be sent.
Mask
A mask used to determine the subnet to which an IP address belongs. This is
the mask that determines the destination network.
Gateway
This is the IP address of the next hop router in the path of the destination
network. When a packet is ready to be sent to a destination, the
iConnectAccess624 sends it on to the Gateway. The gateway examines the
destination address in the header and passes the packet along to another
router, chosen by a route-finding algorithm. A packet may go through 30 or
more routers in its travels from one host computer to another. Because routes
are dynamically updated, it is possible for different packets from a single
session to take different routes to the destination.
Metric
Metric (hop count) is used to measure the distance between the source and a
destination network. Each hop in a path from source to destination is
assigned a hop count value, which is typically 1.
