VersaLink. Westell does not recommend that you change these settings. The following settings are displayed.

This controls the IP address that VersaLink uses for local communication.

This setting specifies the subnet mask to use to determine if an IP address
belongs to your local network.

facilitates communication among devices. This allows a name to be used when
