2-12 Using the Setup Wizard to Provision the STM in Your Network
v1.0, September 2009
Setup Wizard Step 3 of 11: Time Zone
Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask. The subnet mask specifies the network number
portion of an IP address. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use
255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
Gateway Address Enter the IP address of the gateway through which the STM is accessed.
Primary DNS Specify the IP address for the primary DNS server IP address.
Secondary DNS As an option , specify the IP address for the secondary DNS server IP address.
MTU Settings
Maximum Transmission
Unit
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest physical packet size that a
network can transmit. Packets that are larger than the MTU value are divided
into smaller packets before they are sent, an action that prolongs the
transmission process. For most Ethernet networks the MTU value is
1500 Bytes, which is the default setting.
Note: NETGEAR recommends synchronizing the STM’s MTU setting with that
of your network to prevent delays in transmission.
