Schedule By default, the connection will always be active. However, you can configure
scheduler rules in order to define time segments during which the connection may be active.
Once a scheduler rule(s) is defined, the drop-down menu will allow you to choose between the
available rules. To learn how to configure scheduler rules, refer to Section 6.9.3.
Network Select whether the parameters you are configuring relate to a WAN, LAN or DMZ
connection, by selecting the connection type from the drop-down menu. For more information,
refer to Section 6.4.1. Note that when defining a network connection as DMZ, you must also:
• Remove the connection from under a bridge, if that is the case.
• Change the connection’s routing mode to “Route”, in the ‘Routing’ sub-tab.
• Add a routing rule on your external gateway (which may be supplied your ISP), informing of
the DMZ network behind iPECS SBG-1000.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies the largest packet size permitted for
Internet transmission. In the default setting, Automatic, the gateway selects the best MTU for
your Internet connection. Select ‘Automatic by DHCP’ to have the DHCP determine the MTU. In
case you select ‘Manual’ it is recommended to enter a value in the 1200 to 1500 range.
Internet Protocol The local IP address for the interface.
6.4.15.2.3 Routing
This sub-tab enables you to configure the connection’s routing settings. You can choose to setup
your gateway to use static or dynamic routing. Dynamic routing automatically adjusts how packets
travel on the network, whereas static routing specifies a fixed routing path to neighboring
destinations.
