IV-4. Glossary

Default Gateway (Access point): Every non-access point 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.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every
computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet
servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess point.com) and one or
more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet
servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain
name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet
browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the
configuration interface) is "Enabled" or
"Disabled". If "Disabled" you need to input the
ESSID into your wireless client manually.

disconnect the access point and A/C power
adapter immediately, as far as it is safely
possible to do so. Call your dealer of purchase
for help.
