FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390
Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio net-
works. This technique allows for the straightforward trans-
mission of all important parameters of a radio network
from the access point to any computer that is to be added
to the radio cell.
In this process the radio parameters used, including the
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard used, as well as
security parameters like the encryption method and net-
work key, are transferred almost fully automatically from
the WLAN access point to the computer with the WLAN cli-
ent that is to be connected.
A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be di-
vided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnet-
works is performed when the local IP network is config-
ured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP
networks.
The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is
the network address and which the address of the com-
puter. The network address defines what is called the sub-
net.
Example 1
IP address
Subnet mask:
The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the
subnet mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in
the IP address define the network. The following addresses
