Router Expiration Timer

If a device is turned off or otherwise stops communicating, the WAG Router Expiration timer
starts running. When the timer expires, the routing table entry for the device is removed from the
routing table. The user can specify the time period before a device is timed-out.
The Router Expiration timer is set to 5400 seconds by default.
To Specify a Router Expiration Time:
1. On First Configuration menu, select "Route table expiry" timer to be set. The Router expiry
timer configuration screen appears.
2. To keep the current displayed value, press ENTER. To enter a new value, type the number of
seconds desired.
The routing table is cleared with every power cycle of the WAG, regardless of the
timer value.
When finished, the user will be returned to the First Configuration Menu. The Route Table
Expiry timer setting is listed.
3. Prior to exiting the First Configuration Menu, select "Save changes then restart" to save
changes and restart the WAG.

The broadcast medium is set to IP Ethernet Interface by default.
To Configure the Broadcast Medium:
1. On the First Configuration Menu, select "Broadcast medium" to be changed. The Broadcast
interface screen appears.
