  • Page 68: Glossary

    Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination.
  • Page 69 NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using XRT-412’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.
  • Page 70 Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).
