Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is a 32-bit
digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks,
such as LAN and WAN. You don’t need to configure gateway address if NAT function is
enabled; just set it as 0.0.0.0.
Enable DHCP Server
Once the DHCP server function is activated, the LevelOne FNS-6000
will assign dynamic IP addresses to any computer in the local
network that is configured to automatically obtain IP addresses.
Note
: Only one DHCP server can be activated at any time in a network, or it may cause
errors in communication.
Enable NAT Function
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows the clients that use the internal private IP
address to access the Internet. This option should be enabled if you use the LevelOne
FNS-6000 to connect to the Internet.

Your LevelOne FNS-6000 is designed to act as an Access Point (AP) in the wireless
LAN. The system is fully compliant with IEEE 802.11b standard,
and provides powerful WEP encryption support for wireless security enhancement.
