Enter a Station Name, up to forty (40) characters in length. This should be a name that is unique (different from the
names assigned to other units) on the network.
Select the IP Forwarding Mode. The Mode may be set as either Bridge or Router.
- Bridge mode is recommended for very simple network topologies.
- Router mode covers network topologies from simple to complex.
The default IP Forwarding Mode is Bridge mode.
Select whether or not this Viper will function as a relay point. Relay points are used for relaying broadcast information
and for forwarding online diagnostics to Access Point or(AP) or Default Gateway (DG). Relay points must be selected
carefully to reduce traffic in the network. The default setting is No (not a relay point).
Select whether this Viper will function as an Access Point. This is the default gateway (for WAN access) of a Viper
network. One and only one access point may be defined for each Viper network. The default setting is No.
Select whether multi-speed mode will be enabled or disabled for the Viper router. The default setting is Enabled.
