most important application cases are quite simple as long
as the settings of the router or the firewall already contain
rules with a corresponding preconfiguration.
private IP
address
Private IP addresses are used for computers and other
network devices within local IP networks.
Since many local IP networks are not connected to the In-
ternet except via single computers or routers (gateway),
certain address ranges are excluded from the publicly
available IP addresses so that they are available for as-
signment in local IP networks. An IP address may only be
assigned once within the local network. A private IP ad-
dress may exist in any number of other local networks.
Stick & Surf Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio net-
works. This technique allows for the straightforward trans-
mission of all important parameters of a radio network
from the access point to any computer that is to be added
to the radio network.
In this process the radio parameters used, including
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard, as well as secu-
rity parameters like the encryption method and network
key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the
WLAN access point to the computer with the WLAN client
that is to be connected.
subnetwork A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be
divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into sub-
networks is performed when the local IP network is config-
ured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP
networks.
subnet mask The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is
the network address and which the address of the com-
puter. The network address defines what is called the sub-
net.
