5.8.3 Configuring Other Routers on your LAN

It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the BLW-54PM,
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 BLW-54PM as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the BLW-54PM. This
router requires that the Default Route is the BLW-54PM itself. Typically, routers have a
special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Network Mask
