LAN

7.1 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 41 IPv4 Setup

The figure above illustrates one possible setup of your NWA. The gateway IPv4 address is 192.168.1.1 and the IPv4 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.

7.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter

Use the LAN IP screen to configure the IP address of your NWA (see Section 7.4 on page 90).

7.3 What You Need to Know
