the most update information. Cable/DSL This field indicates the Internet connection status. Its value is Connected , Disconnected or Connecting. WAN IP Connected to the Internet through Cable or ADSL modem, the ISP will offer the home gateway a WAN IP address to communicate with other hosts in the Internet. Subnet Mask This field indicates a mask used to determine what subnet the WAN IP 83H83H 84H84H 85H85H address belongs to. An IP address has two components, the network 86H86H address and the host address. For example, consider the IP address 87H87H 192.168.168.182 with subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the first three numbers (192.168.168) represent the Class C network address, and the forth number (182) identifies a particular host on this network. 88H88H Gateway "Gateway" is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another 89H89H 90H90H network. For the home gateway, The "Gateway" is the next device, 91H91H which routes the traffic to the Internet. DNS Domain Name System (or Service or Server) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because the domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. However, the Internet is based on IP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, a DNS 92H92H 93H93H service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system has its own network. If one DNS 94H94H 95H95H server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it will ask its upper stream server, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned or timed-out. Secondary DNS This is the secondary DNS to use when the primary DNS does not work. Domain Name 77

the most update information.
Cable/DSL
This field indicates the Internet connection status.
Its value is
Connected , Disconnected or Connecting.
WAN IP
Connected to the Internet through Cable or ADSL modem, the ISP will
offer the home gateway a WAN IP address to communicate with other
hosts in the Internet.
Subnet Mask
This field indicates a
83H83H
mask
used to determine what
84H84H
subnet
the WAN
85H85H
IP
address
belongs to.
An
86H86H
IP address
has two components, the network
address and the
87H87H
host
address.
For example, consider the IP address
192.168.168.182 with subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the first three
numbers (192.168.168) represent the Class C network address, and the
forth number (182) identifies a particular
88H88H
host on this network.
Gateway
“Gateway” is a
89H89H
node
on a
90H90H
network
that serves as an entrance to another
91H91H
network
.
For the home gateway, The “Gateway” is the next device,
which routes the traffic to the Internet.
DNS
Domain Name System (or Service or Server) is an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses.
Because the domain names
are alphabetic, they are easier to remember.
However, the Internet is
based on
92H92H
IP addresses
.
Every time you use a domain name, a
93H93H
DNS
service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.
For
example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to
198.105.232.4.
The DNS system has its own
94H94H
network
.
If one
95H95H
DNS
server
doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it will ask
its upper stream server, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned
or timed-out.
Secondary DNS
This is the secondary DNS to use when the primary DNS does not work.
