Local area network device – Any device connected as a client either wirelessly or wired into a LAN port on an Ericsson Cradlepoint router.
Static IP – Anytime a network address is configured manually on a client device. The alternative would be to use a DHCP server to assign an address.
Subnet – The range of numbers that represent a single inter-connected network. Network devices that share the same subnet can “see” and communicate with each other. The default subnet on Ericsson Cradlepoint routers is set to 192.168.0.0/24. By default, the Ericsson Cradlepoint router uses the IP address of 192.168.0.1.
Default Gateway – If a request is made to communicate with a device that lies outside of the subnet, then the request automatically goes to the default gateway, which is usually the Ericsson Cradlepoint router (the default address of 192.168.0.1). The default gateway can then route the request to the appropriate location as long as it knows the route.
