Description
A descriptive name for the modem router, which will be
shown in the Network on Windows Vista and the Network
Explorer on all Windows systems. The Device Name field
cannot be blank.
The LAN IP address of the modem router.
The LAN subnet mask of the modem 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 modem router.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to
exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the modem router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default.
• Both or Out Only. The modem router broadcasts its
routing table periodically.
• Both or In Only. The modem router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
• None. The modem router will not send any RIP packets
and will ignore any RIP packets received.
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes
both formats when receiving. By default, this is RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M
send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses
subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
This check box is usually selected so that the modem router
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See
Server" on page 6-5.
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in

Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
