Valid IP addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. „ Subnet Mask: The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to specific subnets. „ Default Gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the router for the access point, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local subnet. If you have management stations, DNS, RADIUS, or other network servers located on another subnet, type the IP address of the default gateway router in the text field provided. Otherwise, leave the address as all zeros (0.0.0.0). „ Primary and Secondary DNS Address: The IP address of Domain Name Servers on the network.
