Route Table Configuration Page

The Route Table Configuration page is activated from the Main Menu page.
Do not operate a CDM-IP modem satellite link where both IP modems have a
Default Route to the satellite. For example, if both IP modems had this Route Table
entry:
IMPORTANT
IP Dest
0.0.0.0/0
In this setup, any traffic forwarded by an IP modem that did not have a valid IP host
at the remote LAN would then be resent by the remote IP modem. This traffic would
continue to be forwarded until the TTL expired. This "routing loop" will limit the
performance of the IP modem by wasting satellite bandwidth.
