In the absence of more specific routing (see

IP routes configuration
In this section you can control how IP packets should be directed out of the MCU. You should only change
this configuration if you have a good understanding of the topology of the network(s) to which the MCU is
connected.

Configuration of routes is divided into two sections: addition of new routes, and the display and removal of
existing routes.
existing routes.
Adding a new IP route
To add a new route, enter the details using the table below for reference. Click Add IP route to make the
addition. If the route already exists, or aliases (overlaps) an existing route, you will be prompted to correct the
problem and try again. The MCU can support up to 128 routes in total.

To route all IP addresses in the range
192.168.4.128 to 192.168.4.255 for
example, specify the IP address as
192.168.4.128 and the mask length as 25, to
indicate that all but the last seven bits
