12.5.6 - Network Settings / IP Address / Login Setup
The network IP Address of your HomeRemote Gateway can be adjusted here. It is
recommended that you do not change these settings unless you understand the effects of your
change.
IP Address: This is the local IP address of your HomeRemote Gateway. The IP Address of your Gateway needs to
be in the same subnet as your home network/router. If it is in a different subnet you will not be able to access the
Gateway. The IP address of your Gateway is what you will use to access your Gateway from your home using a
web browser (i.e. http://192.168.1.230
- the default IP Address of the HomeRemote Gateway)
Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is the range of logical addresses within the address space that is assigned to an
organization. In order for your Gateway to work within your home network, this setting MUST be the same as your
home router. The default Subnet Mask of the HomeRemote Gateway is 255.255.255.0
Gateway Address: The Gateway Address is the address of your home router. This address tells the HomeRemote
Gateway where to look for your home router to access the internet. If you do not know the IP address of your home
router, you can contact Technical support to find out.
Primary/Secondary DNS: The Domain Name Server setting is used to help the HomeRemote Gateway navigate
the internet and translate IP addresses. To find your DNS settings you will need to locate the DNS used by your
home router. DNS settings usually come with a primary DNS and a secondary DNS address.
