Cable/DSL<br />
This field indicates the Internet connection status. Its value is<br />
Connected , Disconnected or Connecting.<br />
WAN IP<br />
Connected to the Internet through Cable or ADSL modem, the ISP will<br />
offer the home gateway a WAN IP address to communicate with other<br />
hosts in the Internet.<br />
Subnet Mask<br />
This field indicates a 83H83Hmask used to determine what 84H84Hsubnet the WAN 85H85HIP<br />
address belongs to. An 86H86HIP address has two components, the network<br />
address and the 87H87Hhost address. For example, consider the IP address<br />
192.168.168.182 with subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the first three<br />
numbers (192.168.168) represent the Class C network address, and the<br />
forth number (182) identifies a particular 88H88Hhost on this network.<br />
<strong>Gateway</strong><br />
“<strong>Gateway</strong>” is a 89H89Hnode on a 90H90Hnetwork that serves as an entrance to another<br />
91H91Hnetwork. For the home gateway, The “<strong>Gateway</strong>” is the next device,<br />
which routes the traffic to the Internet.<br />
DNS<br />
Domain Name System (or Service or Server) is an Internet service that<br />
translates domain names into IP addresses. Because the domain names<br />
are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. However, the Internet is<br />
based on 92H92HIP addresses. Every time you use a domain name, a 93H93HDNS<br />
service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For<br />
example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to<br />
198.105.232.4. The DNS system has its own 94H94Hnetwork. If one 95H95HDNS<br />
server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it will ask<br />
its upper stream server, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned<br />
or timed-out.<br />
Secondary DNS<br />
This is the secondary DNS to use when the primary DNS does not work.<br />
