5.6.2 Static Routes
Figure 23 - Static Routes Screen
The Vanguard 3G unit will automatically set up routing to all devices on the same subnet. In
some cases however, the Vanguard 3G unit may need to communicate with a previously
existing subnet other than its own. This route cannot be automatically generated; it must be
manually entered as a static route by the user. The static route gives the Vanguard 3G radio
modem its “next hop” instructions.
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
Vanguard 3G radio modem. Since this IP address will not be on the same subnet, the
Vanguard 3G radio modem will not have a defined route, and will not know where to send it
by default. Setting up the static route will inform the Vanguard 3G radio modem where to
send the data.
IP Subnet Mask: The Subnet mask is determined by the subnet of the destination address
Gateway IP: 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 routed defined. The
lower the number, the higher priority the route.
