5.6 Router Settings

Router settings provide advanced user configuration for large network setups.

Static Routes

5.6.1
The Sentry 4G unit will automatically set up routing to all devices on the same subnet. In
some cases however, the Sentry 4G unit may need to communicate with a previously existing
subnet other than its own. This route cannot be automatically generated; it must be manually
entered as a static route by the user. The static route gives the Sentry 4G router its "next
hop" instructions.
Route no: A generic number assigned to the route. Multiple static routes can be assigned as
long as they have distinct route numbers.
Description: Nickname assigned to the route by the user.
IP Address: This is the destination IP address that is delivered to the Sentry 4G unit. Since
this IP address will not be on the same subnet, the Sentry 4G unit will not have a defined
route, and will not know where to send it by default. Setting up the static route will inform
the Sentry 4G unit where to send the data.
Subnet Mask: The Subnet mask is determined by the subnet of the destination address
Gateway: This is the address that the data packet will be routed to.
Note:
The device at this address must be a router that is either on the same subnet as the
Destination IP or one with its own statically setup route to the destination address. If this
is not the case, the packet data will be dropped.
