Gateway Gateway — Type the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller's own IP
address in that VNS. This IP address is the default gateway for the
VNS. The SCALANCE IWLAN Controller advertises this address
to the wireless devices when they sign on. For routed VNSs, it
corresponds to the IP address that is communicated to mobile
users (in the VNS) as the default gateway for the VNS subnet.
(Mobile users target the SCALANCE IWLAN Controller's interface
in their effort to route packets to an external host).
Mask Type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address to separate
the network portion from the host portion of the address (typically
