Subnet Mask (Subnet mask setting)
The subnet mask is a way of augmenting the network address section of an IP address.
A subnet mask represents all network address sections as 1 and all host address sections as 0. The number of bits in the
prefix indicates the length of the network address. The term "prefix" refers to something added to the beginning and, in this
context, indicates the first section of the IP address.
When an IP address is written, the length of the network address can indicated by the prefix length after a forward slash
(/). For example, "24" in the address "133.210.2.0/24". In this way, "133.210.2.0/24" denotes the IP address "133.210.2.0"
with a 24-bit prefix (network section).
This new network address section (originally part of the host address) made possible by the subnet mask is referred to as
the subnet address.
Note When you enter the subnet mask, be sure to set the DHCP setting to Off.
Subnet Mask:

Default Gateway (Gateway setting)
Gateway generally refers to a protocol conversion device used to allow networks with differing protocol systems to
interconnect.
For example, a "Gateway" device is required to connect a different closed network (using its own protocols) to the open
Internet (using TCP/IP).
By installing a gateway, the communications protocols and data display modes on different networks can be made
compatible.
On TCP/IP networks, the term gateway is used to refer to routers.
Note Before you enter the gateway, be sure to set the DHCP setting to Off.
