Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed
to the DC-202, 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 DC-
202 as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the
DC-202. This router requires that the Default Route is the DC-202 itself.
Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be
configured as follows.
Destination IP Ad-
dress
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router docu-
mentation.
Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router docu-
mentation.
Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the DC-202.
Metric 1
Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the DC-202's Local Router as the
Default Route. The entries will be the same as the DC-202's local router,
with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
• For a router with a direct connection to the DC-202's local Router, the
Gateway IP Address is the address of the DC-202's local router.
• For routers which must forward packets to another router before reach-
ing the DC-202's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of
the intermediate router.
