Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the TEW-
431BRP, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve
this, the local LAN must be configured to use the TEW-431BRP as the Default Route or
Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the TEW-431BRP. This
router requires that the Default Route is the TEW-431BRP itself. Typically, routers have a
special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Destination IP Address
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the TEW-431BRP.

Metric
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the TEW-431BRP 's Local Router as the Default
Route. The entries will be the same as the TEW-431BRP 's local router, with the exception of
the Gateway IP Address.
•
For a router with a direct connection to the TEW-431BRP 's local Router, the Gateway IP
Address is the address of the TEW-431BRP 's local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the TEW-
431BRP 's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.
