Figure 9-2. IP Network Adapter Property Pages
• IP Address: A 32-bit (max) value expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to
255, separated by periods (e.g., 157.235.90.24) that the terminal uses to transmit
and receive data. The IP address of the adapter is required to be in the same
subnet as that of the access point for the devices to interoperate in Infrastructure
mode.
• Subnet Mask: A 32-bit value expressed as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255,
separated by periods (e.g., 255.255.0.0) which allows TCP/IP to determine the
network ID portion of an IP address. Required in order for the subnet to exist. Its
purpose is to mask out IP addresses that are not part of the subnet. The network
administrator usually has the required subnet mask.
• Gateway: Used to connect to the corporate network. The network administrator
usually has the IP address required for the default gateway.
• DNS (Domain Name System): The IP address of a server containing a database
of host names and their associated IP addresses so that when a host name is
used, it can be resolved into its IP address.
• WINS (Windows Internet Name Service): A NetBIOS Name Server that registers
your NetBIOS names and resolves into IP addresses, similar to DNS.
