Appendix A: Glossary

IP Address

The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) 10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

Subnet Mask

Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts. These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable sections, called subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”.
