Enter Gateway (Required):
Enter the IP Address of the gateway for the specified host or network. A gateway
is a device (typically a RTU or router) used to gain access to another network.
For example, if a device is attached to a LAN whose a network address is 192.168.1.0 with a netmask of
255.255.255.0, than it can communicate directly with any other device on that network with a range of
addresses of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 (with 192.168.1.255 reserved for a broadcast). An address
outside of that range is on a different network which would need to be accessed indirectly through a RTU or
router and that RTU or router would be the gateway to the network on which the remote target device resides.
In order to communicate with it, it would mean sending and receiving via the gateway device. The address
must be one within the valid range for the network on which the designated interface resides.
Enter Metric:
Enter a value for the route metric in this field. Recommended value is 0.
