IP
Use this menu to configure IP settings.
M
ODE
Setting to
O
N
(def) will permit this connection
profile to negotiate PPP IPCP with the PPP peer
for exchanging of IP packets.
L
OCAL
IP
This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.
N
ETMASK
This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.
R
EMOTE
IP
This network mask is applied to the IP/NET ad-
dress for determining the PPP peer’s network. If
left as 0.0.0.0, a standard network mask is used.
NAT
The TA 544 can perform network address trans-
lation. This feature is most widely used when
connecting to the Internet. The Ethernet network
can consist of private network numbers. When
this profile is connected, all IP addresses on the
Ethernet side are translated into the one real IP
address negotiated with the PPP peer (ISP). Mul-
tiple stations on the Ethernet side can access the
Internet simultaneously. Setting this option to
O
N
will cause the TA 544 to perform NAT. In
the
O
FF
position (def), the unit will route across
the connection normally.
R
OUTE
The IP parameters are configured in this menu.
Adjusting these parameters is only necessary for
certain dial-on-demand applications. Usually,
the TA 544 will discover the PPP peer’s network
automatically using PPP IPCP and/or RIP.
RIP
Use this menu to enable RIP on the WAN inter-
face.
M
ODE
Enables or disables RIP.
P
ROTOCOL
Specifies the RIP protocol. Choices are
V1
(which is RIP version 1) or
V2
(RIP version 2).
M
ETHOD
Specifies the way the RIP protocol sends out its
advertisements. Choices are given below.
N
ONE
All routes in the router table are advertised
with no modification of the metrics.
S
PLIT
H
ORIZON
Only routes not learned from this circuit are
advertised.
P
OISON
R
EVERSE
(def)
All routes are advertised, but the routes
learned from this port are “poisoned” with an
infinite metric.
