8.1.4.3 IP Address

The Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique 32-bit number used to identify the host computer connected to a TCP/IP network. The value of the IP Address is represented in a dotted decimal format. WebShare assigns 192.168.0.1 to this address by default. This value may be changed to any valid IP address e.g. an existing address assigned for local LAN administration. Note: If the default IP Address needs to be changed, the DHCP Base and End addresses will also have to be adjusted. All changes will be entered in the LAN Advanced Configuration screen.

8.1.4.4 Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is a 32-bit number used to identify the network and host segments of an IP address. This value is represented in the same dotted decimal format as the IP address. This is the subnet mask associated with the IP address above. This value should not be set to a subnet address greater than 255.255.255.248 to accommodate the WebShare IP.

The default value for the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

8.1.4.5 Domain Naming System (DNS) Primary

The domain naming system is a convention used for identifying computers attached to the Internet or a Local Area Network (LAN). A host to resolve a domain name to the IP address uses the main DNS server. The secondary or backup DNS server performs the same function as the main server.

This IP address represents the address that WebShare uses to respond to primary DNS queries from your computer. The default value is 192.168.0.2.
