Default Gateway: A Default Gateway must be defined for the RouteFinder. A default address was
set during installation. If you want to change it, enter the address in the text field
using the dotted decimal format. Then click the Save button.
Important Note: If the gateway address and DNS addresses are assigned by a
PPPoE server or a DHCP server or through a backup link, the address cannot be
edited.
Host Name: A local Host Name should also be defined for the RouteFinder. Enter the name in
the Host name field using the routefinder.yourdomain.com format. Then click the
Save button.
Note: The length of the Host Name should not be greater than 64 characters. For
any problem with the Host Name settings, an alert message will display.
Example: localhost.localdomain.com
WINS Server: If DHCP and PPPTP clients are to be assigned a WINS server address, enter the
address here.
Network Cards:
Interface Name: Each column allows you to identify the interfaces for the LAN, WAN,
and DMZ networks (these are available when Load Balancing is not
enabled).
When Load Balancing is enabled, the networks available are LAN,
WANLINK1, and WANLINK2.
IP Address: Enter the IP Address of the corresponding Network card. Then click the
Save button.
The IP Address for the WAN link can be assigned in four ways:

Notes:
• If the address/mask is assigned by a PPPoE server or a DHCP
server or through a backup link on the Internet, the
address/mask cannot be edited. Once the addresses are
released by the servers, the addresses revert back to the old
statically assigned ones.
• The same IP address cannot be entered for two different
interfaces.
Subnet Mask: Enter the corresponding net mask for the IP Address. Then click the
Save button.
Primary DNS Address: Enter the Primary DNS Address which is the address of the primary
