IP_Router

This parameter is optional, but should always be given for each network that has an attached IP router. This value must be provided by the network administrator. If there is only one active board using TCP/IP, the parameter takes the IP address of a router as its only value:

IP_Router 197.235.19.129

The IP address of the router is specified in standard dotted-decimal notation, one decimal number for each byte of the four-byte address value. The underscore character ('_') in “IP_Router” is required.

If the machine has multiple boards using TCP/IP, then an additional network name value is required to associate each router assignment with its proper board:

IP_Router 197.235.19.129 SALES_NET

The network name value is used in conjunction with the “Bind” parameter to associate the correct IP router information with each board instance.

Note that up to three (3) IP routers may be specified for each attached network. If a particular network does not have any IP routers, simply omit the IP_Router” parameter for that network. Or, to be explicit as to the absence of any known IP router for that network, specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0 instead.
