Local LAN -> Subnet Mask

This setting defines the subnet level the internet/print server will share with other devices on the network.

Options: Any subnet address which identifies a subnet level.

Default Value: 255.255.255.0

Must Be User Modified? No.

Description: The subnet mask is used to identify subgroups on a LAN. A subgroup is a set of network nodes that can re- ceive broadcast messages (i.e., messages not requiring a specific IP).

DNS IP Address

Domain Name Service (DNS) servers are used on the internet to maintain information about which Uniform Resource Locator (URL) name relates to which internet IP address. For example, the URL: WWW.CNN.COM, is a pseudonym for the IP address: 207.25.71.25. DNS entries allow users to access resources using URLs instead of IPs.

Options: Any internet DNS server IP address available through the WAN connection. This address should be pro- vided by your ISP. (Note that without a DNS server IP, internet sites will only be available using IP addresses and will not be available using URLs.)

Default Value: 0.0.0.0
