. . .

4. Gateway IP:
. . .
Explanation of contents:
1. *DHCP Enable: Choose Yes to obtain IP/subnet/gateway addresses
automatically from DHCP server.
2. *IP Address: The Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to your
machine by your network administrator or by DHCP Server.
3. Subnet Mask: The net mask address assigned by your network
administrator or by DHCP Server.
4. Gateway IP: The gateway IP address assigned by your network
administrator or by DHCP Server.
Note:
1. DHCP server: With DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), a host can
automatically be given a unique IP address each time it connects to a
network--making IP address management an easier task for network
administrators. If the DHCP server is available from your network, you do not
need to enter TCP/IP, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS information. Instead,
this information will be automatically given for the product.
2. IP Address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address uniquely identifies a host
connection to an IP network. System administrator or network designer
assigns the IP address. The IP address consists of two parts, one identifying
the network and the one identifying your node.
The IP address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods. Each
number can be zero to 255. For example, 10.1.30.186 could be an IP
address.
