IP Routing parameters
Digi TransPort User Guide 353
Route directed IP broadcasts
When checked, this checkbox causes the router to route directed broadcasts. The default 
state for this parameter is Off. A directed broadcast is an IP packet with a destination address 
that is a valid broadcast address for a subnet but does not originate from that subnet. 
Directed IP broadcasts are used to send a broadcast from one interface to the subnet of 
another.
