TCP/IP menu

Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets are delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

You can

Enable DHCP

Specify Yes or No as the value. DHCP is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The network automatically assigns a number for the network information.

Set IP Address

Set the IP address manually.

Set IP Netmask

Assign a subnet mask.

A subnet mask is used to separate an IP address into two parts: an extended network address and a host address. The subnet mask is written using the dotted decimal notation and should contain 32 bits. Example: 255.255.255.0

Note: This option is disabled if Enable DHCP is enabled.

Set IP Gateway

Specify the IP address of another device on the same network. This device acts as a router or access point to other devices on another network.
