IP Forwarding Mode
Select whether this Viper will operate as a bridge or router. The default setting is Router.
Access Point
Select whether this Viper will be an Access Point. The Access Point is the default gateway (WAN access) of a Viper
network. One and only one access point may be defined for each Viper network. All Vipers in the network will set
their default route to point to the Access Point. Viper can only be configured as an Access point if it is operating in
Router mode. The default setting is No (the Viper will not be operating as an Access Point).
Relay Point
Select whether this Viper will operate as a Relay Point. For Vipers that are spread over multiple RF coverage areas
the user needs to identify the units that will form the backbone between the coverage areas so that any unit can
talk to any other unit in the network regardless of their locations. The units forming the backbone between the
coverage areas are the Relay Point units. Selecting this parameter will force the unit to repeat all necessary
information from one coverage area to the next. The default setting is No (the Viper will not be operating as a
Relay Point).
