For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device's network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for access points to
route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet
access point located at the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals
and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively
small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device
connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is
comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each
manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the product's serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use
one IP address. Using the broadband access point's NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any
computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over
another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers:
Application Protocol Port Number
Telnet TCP
FTP TCP
SMTP TCP
POP3 TCP
H.323 TCP
SNMP UCP
SNMP Trap UDP
