IP Screen

11.1 Overview

This chapter describes how you can configure the IP address of your NWA.

The Internet Protocol (IP) address identifies a device on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.

Figure 50 IP Setup

The figure above illustrates one possible setup of your NWA. The gateway IP address is 192.168.1.2 and the IP address of the NWA is 192.168.1.2 (default). The gateway and the device must belong in the same subnet mask to be able to communicate with each other.

11.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter

Use the IP screen to configure the IP address of your NWA (see Section 11.4 on page 106).
