For example, if a netmask is 255.255.255.0 and the IP address assigned to the device is 192.168.1.1 through
192.168.1.254 as 192.168.1.0 is the value reserved for the broadcast address.
Recommended Setting: This address should have been provided by your Network Administrator. It must be an address valid for
the network described by the value contained in the Enter Subnet Mask field and must not conflict with any other device on the
target network.
Enter Subnet Mask (Required): Enter the desired Netmask for the interface. This field is only available when “Obtain
Network Addresses via DHCP” has been set to No.
Recommended Setting: Your network administrator should be able to provide an appropriate value. This value determines the
valid range of IP addresses allowed in the “Enter IP Address” field.
Enter Remote Gateway: Enter the IP Address for the gateway device. This field is required if “Use Remote Gateway as
Default Route” is set to Yes.
A gateway is a device (typically a router) used to gain access to another network. For example, if a device is attached to
a LAN whose network address is 192.168.1.0 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0, then it can communicate directly with
any other device on that network with a range of addresses of 192.168.1.1 through 192.168.1.254 (with
192.168.1.255 reserved for broadcast). An address outside of that range is on a different network which would need to
be accessed indirectly through a router. That router would be the gateway to the network on which the remote target
device resides. In order to communicate with it, it would mean sending and receiving via the gateway device. This also
requires either defining a static route (defined through the Network>Static Routes menu) via that gateway or making
it the default route by setting “Use Remote Gateway as Default Route” to Yes.
Recommended Setting: Your network administrator should be able to provide an appropriate value. The address must be one
within the valid range for the network.
• Once the desired settings have been entered in the Eth0 Settings dialog window, click on the Next button and the
following Cellular Connection dialog window will appear:
Enable Interface: Select YES to enable the interface to become active after the new settings are applied and upon sub‐
sequent system start‐up.
Select APN Context: Select the desired APN Context from the provided drop‐down. This information should have been
given to you by your service provider when service was established.
Enter APN: Enter the APN used to access your cellular wireless data service in this field. This information should have
been given to you by your service provider when service was established.
