numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the
network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance
network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet
masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a
very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will
usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
Def. Gateway: A gateway is a piece of software or hardware that passes information between
networks. You'll see this term most often when you either log in to an Internet site or when you're
transient email between different servers.
DNS1: When you send email or position a browser to an Internet domain such as xxxxx.com, the
domain name system translates the names into IP addresses. The term refers to two things: the
conventions for naming hosts and the way the names are control across the Internet.
DNS2: The same function as DNS1. It is optional, not necessary
Note: If no IP address is assigned after 30 seconds, the ICA-312 will work with its default IP
