General Functions of the Configurator 3-45
• Netmask: The netmask is a 4-byte number that masks the network part of the
Internet Protocol IP address, so only the host computer part of the address
remains.
• Lease Time (in minutes): This is the amount of minutes that the interface,
computer or device can use the assigned IP address. When the time is up, the
IP address will revert to the pool of available addreses and can be reassigned
to another computer. (Entering "0" means the lease time never expires.)
• Domain Name: This is the internet domain name of the organization, such as
"www.wavewireless.com". You do not enter the first portion of the domain
name, leaving the entry as "wavewireless.com".
Domain Name Servers
• Domain Name Servers (DNS) list box: This is where the domain name
servers reside. You can prioritize them (from highest to lowest) by selecting the
DNS, and then clicking Up or Down.
• Up/Down: After you select the DNS, use this button to prioritize it (from
highest to lowest).
• If you want to remove any of the DNS parameters, click Delete.
If you want to change the DNS address, do one of the following:
• To change the Domain Name Server (DNS) address: Select the DNS
address in the DNS list box. The DNS address will appear to the left of the
Add button. Edit the address and click Update when you’re finished. The
modified address will appear in the DNS list box.
• To add a new DNS address: Enter the new DNS address (to the left of
the Add button). Then, click Add. The new address will appear in the DNS
list box. If you changed any of the DNS servers, click Apply.
