plication cases are quite simple as long as the settings of the
router or the firewall already contain rules with a correspond-
ing preconfiguration.
Private IP Address
Private IP addresses are used for PCs and other network de-
vices within local IPv4 networks.
Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Inter-
net except via single PCs or routers (gateway), certain ad-
dress ranges are excluded from the publicly available IP ad-
dresses so that they are available for assignment in local IP
networks. An IP address may only be assigned once within
the local network. A private IP address may exist in any num-
ber of other local networks.
Public IP Address
A public IP address is an IP address (
) valid
in the Internet. Every PC or router participating in the Internet
must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. This ad-
dress is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet Ser-
vice Provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The
Internet Service Provider assigns the negotiated IP address to
the PC or router for the duration of an Internet session.
Stick & Surf
Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks.
This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of
all important parameters of a radio network from the access
point to any computer that is to be added to the radio cell.
In this process the radio parameters used, including the
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard used, as well as se-
curity parameters like the encryption method and network
key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the WLAN
access point to the computer with the WLAN client that is to
be connected.
