LABEL DESCRIPTION
Get from
DHCP Server
Click this to deploy the NBG-419N as an access point in the network.
When you enable this, the NBG-419N gets its IP address from the
network’s DHCP server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the
NBG-419N can now access the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address
is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP
address assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG-419N. You need to reset
the NBG-419N to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see
Section 28.3 on page 208 for details on how to reset the NBG-419N).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG-
419N in the field below.
Use Defined
LAN IP
Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG-419N. Or if
your ISP or network administrator gave you a static IP address to access
the network or the Internet.
IP Address Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is
192.168.1.2. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again
with the new IP address.
IP Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address.
Your NBG-419N will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the
IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use
the subnet mask computed by the NBG-419N.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter a Gateway IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave
you one) in this field.
