ARP and Route Configuration 
To facilitate network connectivity on the management and GBE interfaces, the RF 
Gateway 1 can create static Route and ARP entries.  Static routes provide network 
connectivity to devices that are not on the network.  For example, a static route could 
be required to support multicast sessions on the GbE interface from a device on 
another network.  Static ARPs are provided to allow...

 
 
 Clock Configuration

Clock Configuration 
The RF Gateway 1 provides several different configuration options for obtaining and 
maintaining accurate time on the system.  These options include time 
synchronization from a network time server and obtaining time from an on-board 
real-time clock (RTC).  
Real -Time Clock Setup 
The RF Gateway 1 has an on-board, real-time clock (RTC) with battery back-up 
which can be used to provide system time. The RTC can be set manually...

Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) 
When Synchronize With Server is set to Enabled, the RF Gateway 1 periodically 
attempts to obtain network time from one of the SNTP servers specified by the IP 
address on the Clock Configuration page.  If communication with the SNTP server is 
successful, the...

format. 
5 In the SNTP Mode field, select Unicast (Multicast is not supported). 
6 In the Time Zone field, select the correct time zone depending on current location. 
7 The Synchronization Interval parameter specifies the interval at which the RF 
Gateway 1 resynchronizes the system clock and RTC to the network time. Set the 
SNTP Synchronization rate in minutes. The...
