Figure 48 above show the Mesh Fixed Routing Rules for the network diagram in Figure
47 above.
In fixed Route #1 it shows the Destination IP Address will be 10.0.0.1 and its Next hop
will be 10.0.0.2, there will be a total of 2 hops and the "IP Gateway" and "External" are
un ticked as the destination will be the local I/O on 10.0.0.1.
In Route #2 is a route showing the communication path with repeater #2. The
destination and next addresses are both 10.0.0.2 because it's a single hop and again
the "IP Gateway" and "External" are un ticked as the communications is all local and not
through a Gateway or out of the mesh.

Figure 50 shows the routing rules for the network diagram Figure 49- Mesh Fixed Route
#2" above
The first route shows the destination and next addresses are both 10.0.0.1 as it's a
single hop. Because the destination is a Gateway on an external network the IP
Gateway must be enabled.
The second routing rules shows the Destination (192.168.1.100) is an external network
and is outside of the radio mesh, therefore the External tick box must be enabled. The
next address will be 10.0.0.1, which is the IP Gateway.
