Proxy ARP on This Interface
If you check the Proxy ARP on This Interface checkbox, the MultiAccess recognizes ARP request for
hosts on the other side of a dial-in router. The MultiAccess answers for those addresses with an ARP
reply matching the remote IP address with the MultiAccess's Ethernet address. This applies typically in
situations where the routing is LAN to LAN instead of LAN to client.

This information defaults into the corresponding fields.
Save
Confirm your settings by clicking the Save button.

Default Gateway

The Default Gateway has to be entered in the text field in a dotted decimal format and can be saved by
clicking the Save button. The Default Gateway needs to be configured when dialed in computers, i.e., IP
enabled devices, or the MultiAccess needs to communicate with other computers that are not on the
same IP network (subnet). If the IP devices are all on the same subnet, they do not need to know a
default gateway.
