LAN MAC all Ethernet devices have a unique 48-bit 
media access control (MAC) address built into 
them when manufactured. An example of a valid 
MAC address is  00:08:21:31:4e:8f . The field will 
contain  ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff  when radios have not yet 
been associated.
LAN IP the IP Address is a 32-bit address in a dotted 
decimal notation. Each of the four fields of the IP 
can have a value from 1 to 255. For example, here 
is an IP address: 201.252.100.111
LAN Mask a bit mask used to select bits from an 
Internet address for subnet addressing. Subnet 
addressing is a way to segment devices and nodes 
on a network for efficient use of network addresses 
and for controlling data traffic. Routers use the 
subnet mask to decide which data packets are 
forwarded or stay on the local network. The mask is 
32 bits long and is used to select the network 
portion of the Internet address and a number of bits 
of the local portion. For example, 255.255.255.0 
specifies 24 network bits and 8 local host bits
Default Router (BTS only) specifies an IP address 
for your internet router. Your site s network 
administrator will know the number that should be 
in this field. It only needs to be set on the BTS. 
CPEs display a Next Hop IP field in its place 
(discussed later in Configuring the CPE).
Wireless MAC like the LAN MAC, except this field 
specifies the Radio Modem s MAC. The radio 
modems in the CPE/BTS systems are Ethernet 
devices and thus each have a distinct MAC 
address that will be displayed in this field.
