assignment. The following two fields are N/A for a dynamic

address assignment.

Rem IP Address

This will show the IP address you entered for this remote node in

the previous menu.

Rem IP Subnet

Enter the subnet mask for the remote network.

Mask

My WAN Addr

Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require

the WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the

LAN and each end must have a unique address within the WAN

network number. If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned

to the WAN port of your Prestige.

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not

the remote router.

Single User

Set this field to Yes to enable the Single User Account feature for

Account

your Prestige. Use the space bar to toggle between Yes and No.

See Chapter 3 - Internet Access Application for more information

on the Single User Account feature.

Metric

The metric represents the "cost" of transmission for routing

purposes. IP routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost,

with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a

number that approximates the cost for this link. The number need

not be precise, but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or

3 is usually a good number.

Private

This parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to

this remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to Yes, this route is

kept private and not included in RIP broadcast. If No, the route to

this remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP

broadcasts.

RIP Direction

Press the space bar to select the RIP direction from Both/In

Only/Out Only or None.

Version=

Press the space bar to select the RIP version from RIP-1/RIP-

2B/RIP-2M.
