- The values of the IP Address, Gateway server, Subnet Mask, Domain Extension, DNS servers, and WINS servers set by the DHCP server are displayed. ƒ Manually assign IP settings If you use a static IP address, you may want to manually configure the IP settings on the Media Vault. This should be done only by experienced network administrators. ƒ IP Address A number that uniquely identifies devices, such as computers, on a network. ƒ Gateway Type the IP address for the default gateway. This is the address of a local IP router on the same network as this computer that is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network. ƒ Subnet Mask Identifies the portion of the network IP address that can be used for subnetworks. ƒ Domain Ext A domain extension is an optional part of a network name used to logically divide a large network into smaller networks. ƒ DNS Server 1 The primary server that associates network names with IP addresses. ƒ DNS Server 2 The alternate or secondary server that associates network names with IP addresses. Note: Entering two DNS servers is recommended for stability. ƒ WINS Server 1 WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a server that converts NetBIOS network names to IP addresses. ƒ WINS Server 2 WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is a server that converts NetBIOS network names to IP addresses. 7-90 Version
