IP Address

The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by dots. (e.g. 61.218.1.5)

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a 32-bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)

Default Gateway

The gateway is generally referred to as an interchange point that connects two networks. If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your ISP or network administrator.
