Subnet Mask
Limits the range of IP addresses that can be assigned to a computer when
using a TCP/IP connection, in order to allow a network to be divided into
several sub-sections. The parameters which divide the sub-network in this
way are called the subnet mask.

Gateway
A junction point where different types of networks are connected to each
other.
It is used to refer to the hardware and software which is used when
connecting a particular network to another network which has been set up

DHCP
Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A function which
automatically assigns IP addresses to each computer that is connected to
a network. If a device which functions as a DHCP server is located within a
LAN, this device automatically assigns IP addresses to computers which
are connected to the LAN. Not available with this product.
