IP address:
Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values if users set the
DHCP function to “Disable”. Then, click the
<Apply>
button to update.
When DHCP is disabled, the Default IP Address is: 192.168.1.1
If DHCP is enabled, this field is filled by the DHCP server and will not
allow the user to manually set it.
Subnet mask:
Subnet mask is made for the purpose of getting more network addresses,
because any IP device in a network must own its IP address, composed
of a Network address and a Host address, otherwise it can’t
communicate with other devices. Unfortunately, the network classes A, B,
and C are all too large to fit for almost all networks; hence, a subnet
mask is introduced to solve this problem. A Subnet mask uses some bits
from the host address and makes an IP address look like a Network
address, Subnet mask number and host address. This is shown in the
following figure. This reduces the total number of IP addresses a network
able to support, by the amount of the 2nd power of the bit number of
subnet number (2^(bit number of subnet number)).
Subnet mask is used to set the subnet mask value, which should be the
same value as that of the other devices resident in the same network to
which it is attached.

Assignment”, in this manual.
Default: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway:
Sets an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not
meet the routing rules predefined in the device. If a packet does not meet
the criteria for other pre-defined path, it must be forwarded to a default
router on a default path. This means any packet with an undefined IP
address in the routing table will be sent to this device unconditionally.
