Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X
These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-designated private address
range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has
a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
Figure 7-2
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
• IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the router.
• IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask
allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
• RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other
routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Router sends and receives RIP packets.
Both is the default.
– When set to Both or Out Only, the router will broadcast its routing table periodically.
– When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
– When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
• RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends.
It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1.
