<p id="siteSub">Where a device is on a different subnet
|

|

to the pc, it is possible to set up a static route to
|
||
|
|
get a direct connection to that device.  Static routes
|
||
|
|
can be set up in <a href="MAINApplication_Preferences.htm">Application

preferences</a> as well as File Preferences.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When using Virtual Private Networks (<a href="Support for Remote Access via VPN - Introduction.html">VPNs</a>)
|
||
|
|
for example, any broadcast packets from London Architect
|
||
|
|
will go no further than the router at the VPN client end
|
||
|
|
of the connection. Static routes is a way around this
|
||
|
|
problem since it defines all the point to point routes
|
||
|
|
to all Soundweb London devices which must be communicated
|
||
|
|
with.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Static routes are set up per design file in the file

preferences</p>

<p><img src="Static Routes Tab.JPG" alt="" style="border: none;" width="446" height="454" border="0"></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The table has three columns and an optional description.
|
||
|
|
The columns are:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Enable check box. A static route can be enabled and
|
||
|
|
disabled.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- IP Address is the IP address of the remote device.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- Device column is not user editable, but shows the
|
||
|
|
name of the device on the network if the static route
|
||
|
|
is found.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>- The dialog also has an option to <b>Send Static Routes
|
||
|
|
to the devices</b>. When this box is unchecked only London
|
||
|
|
Architect has a route to the device with the static route
|
||
|
|
set.</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul type="disc">
|
||
|
|
<li class="p"><p>Check this box to enable BLU devices
|
||
|
|
to connect across subnets. Upon going online the devices
|
||
|
|
will need to reload their configurations.</p></li>

<li class="p"><p>Uncheck this box to disable the device

the devices will need to reload their configuration.</p></li>

</ul>
|

<p> The buttons do the following:</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Add</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Provides a pop-up dialog where a new route can be added.

Enter the IP address of the remote device and an optional

description here.</p>

|

|
<p><span class="hcp1">Edit</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Edit button shows the same dialog as Add but is
|
||
|
|
filled with the selected routes values. The route can
|
||
|
|
then be edited.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Remove</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Remove button allows the removal of one or more
|
||
|
|
routes (the list of routes allows multiple select).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Auto</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Auto button will populate the static routes with
|
||
|
|
the devices currently on the network. This will be useful
|
||
|
|
prior to the use of VPN when an installer is on site and
|
||
|
|
can add all devices in one go.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="hcp1">Apply</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The Apply button applies any changes. When the changes
|
||
|
|
are applied, the static routes are set up in the network
|
||
|
|
stack, and the network view is refreshed. Discovery will
|
||
|
|
start on any routes just added and the remote devices
|
||
|
|
will appear in the network window. Newly added routes
|
||
|
|
which have been discovered will add the name of the discovered
|
||
|
|
devices in the "Device" column.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b style="font-weight: bold;">Note</b></p>
|

|
<p>Static routes create additional network traffic which
|
||
|
|
may be undesirable on large networks.</p>

<p>The <a href="BLU-8 Programming and Operation.html">BLU-8</a>
