Host Name
The host name is an alias for an IP address. The host name uniquely
identifies the TPG in the network and makes it easier to remember.
Gateway
Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external net-
works. If you wish to use a gateway, you can configure the relevant
parameter via the TPG Homepage or the InterCon-NetTool.
Subnet mask
With the help of the subnet mask, large networks can be split up
into subnetworks. In this case, the user IDs of the IP addresses are
assigned to the various subnetworks.
The TPG is configured not to use subnetworks by default. If you wish
to use a subnetwork, you can configure the relevant parameter via
the TPG Homepage or the InterCon-NetTool.
