These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-designated private address
range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has
a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
Figure 6-2
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
• IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the modem router.
• IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP address, the IP
Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be
reached through a gateway or modem router.
• RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a modem router to exchange routing information
with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Modem Router sends and
receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
— When set to Both or Out Only, the modem router will broadcast its routing table
periodically.
— When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
— When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.
