Integration of DSL/Cable into Focalpoint LAN (Route-Add)

The route-add process may be required if you are experiencing problems while accessing Focalpoint on our dedicated TCP/IP circuit while also accessing the Internet on another TCP/IP device, like DSL or Cable, on the same LAN. This link has instructions on how to manually create the batch file at each workstation.

The basic steps for adding DSL/Cable Internet access to a Focalpoint TCP/IP LAN are below. They assume that the site is already on Ethernet.

Cable or DSL provider supplies a Cable/DSL router or agency purchases on its own..
Agency must contract with Galileo for an IPONLY address to be programmed into the Cable/DSL router in order for it to reside on the Focalpoint LAN.
All other non-Apollo devices on the Focalpoint LAN (if any) must also be provided with an IPONLY address from within our subnet in order to communicate on the LAN.
The Cable/DSL provider must configure the new Internet router with the IPONLY address provided by Galileo so that it "becomes" that address. If the Cable/DSL provider is unwilling or unable to do that, the agency will need to purchase a router that can be configured in this manner.
The IP Address of the new cable/DSL router becomes the Default Gateway in the TCP/IP Network properties in Network Neighborhood for each workstation.
A ROUTE ADD statement (which may be created in Notepad) needs to be saved as a batch file and added to the StartUp group at each workstation to route the Apollo traffic to the Apollo router. That statement has two lines of information and looks something like this:

ROUTE ADD 198.177.164.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

ROUTE ADD 57.8.81.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(Please note: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the IP address assigned to the Apollo router. The file should be saved as: ROUTEADD.BAT)
This route may also be permanently established in the Internet router as a static route to point the Apollo traffic to the Apollo router. (All traffic will default to the DSL router where Apollo traffic will be forwarded to the Apollo router.)

Instructions for adding a Route-Add statement.
The route-add process may be required if you are experiencing problems while accessing Focalpoint on our dedicated TCP/IP circuit while also accessing the Internet on another TCP/IP device, like DSL or Cable, on the same LAN.

In the route-add process, the DSL or Cable modem/router becomes the default gateway and a new network path is created using a batch file to direct message traffic to the proper device at each workstation.
