* Interface Enable : Enables all LAN-connected computers to shared
resources and to connect to the WAN. The Interface should always be
enabled unless you are instructed to disable it by your Service Provider
during troubleshooting.
* IP Address : The LAN IP Address of the Gateway. The IP Address you
assign to your LAN interface must not be used by another device on your
LAN network.
* IP Netmask : Specifies the subnet mask for the TCP/IP network con-
nected to the virtual circuit. The subnet mask specifies which bits of the
32-bit binary IP address represent network information. The default sub-
net mask for most networks is 255.255.255.0 (Class C subnet mask.)
* Restrictions : Specifies whether an administrator can open a Telnet
connection to the Gateway over the LAN interface in order to monitor
and configure the Gateway. On the LAN Interface, you can enable or dis-
able administrator access. By default, administrative restrictions are
turned off, meaning an administrator can open a Telnet connection
through the LAN Interface.
