Route no: A generic number assigned to the route. Multiple static routes can be assigned
as long as they have distinct route numbers.
Route Name: Nickname assigned to the route by the user.
Destination IP Address: This is the destination IP address that is delivered to the L-5500
radio modem. Since this IP address will not be on the same subnet, the L-5500 will not have
a defined route, and will not know where to send it by default. Setting up the static route
will inform the L-5500 where to send the data.
IP Subnet Mask: The subnet mask is defined by the subnet mask of the destination
address
Gateway IP Address: This is the address that the data packet will be routed to.
Note:
The device at this address must be a router that is either on the same subnet as
the Destination IP or one with its own statically setup route to the destination
address. If this is not the case, the packet data will be dropped.
Metric: This sets the priority of the routes compared to other static routes defined. The
lower the number, the higher priority the route.
Click on "Add" when all necessary information has been entered. The route will be shown on
the bottom of the screen (under Static Routing Table). Additional routes can be added
provided they have a unique Route no, name and metric. Routes can be deleted by clicking
the Delete Entry option of the desired entry.
Note:
Routing Table (found under "Table" tab) shows all routes, while Static Table
(found under "Settings" tab) shows manually entered routes only.

Routing Table
The table in Figure 21 shows a list of all routes (static and dynamic). The WAN connection
appears as interface eth1.
