network. The subnet mask has the form x.x.x.x, where x is a
number from 0 to 255.

IP Router (Gateway)

Enter the IP address of the router that will forward frames if the
access point will communicate with devices on another subnet.
The IP address has the form x.x.x.x, where x is a number from 0 to
255.

DNS Address 1

Enter the IP address of a domain name server that the access point
uses to resolve DNS names. If this access point is a DHCP server,
this DNS address will be distributed to DHCP clients. You can
enter up to two DNS addresses to be delivered to DHCP clients.

DNS Address 2

Enter the IP address of a domain name server that the access point
uses to resolve DNS names if the DNS server at DNS Address 1 is
not responding. If this access point is a DHCP server, this DNS
address will be distributed to DHCP clients.

DNS Suffix 1

Enter a domain name suffix that will be appended to DNS names
that cannot be resolved. If the access point is a DHCP server, this
is the only DNS suffix that is delivered to DHCP clients.

For example, enter a suffix of UVW.COM. When you try to resolve
ABC, the DNS will look for ABC.UVW.COM.

DNS Suffix 2

Enter a domain name suffix that will be appended to DNS names
that cannot be resolved either by themselves or using DNS suffix.

For example, enter a suffix of XYZ.COM. When you try to resolve
ABC, the DNS will first look for ABC.UVW.COM and then it will look
for ABC.XYZ.COM.
