The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG. You need to reset the NBG to be able to access the Web Configurator again (see Section 25.7 on page 164 for details on how to reset the NBG). Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG in the field below. Use Defined Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG. Or if your ISP or network LAN IP Address administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the Internet. IP Address Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address. IP Subnet Mask The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG. Default Gateway Enter a Default Gateway IP Address (if your ISP or network administrator gave you one) in this field.
