LAN

LAN stands for Local Area Network and describes a group of networked computers in an office or company environment. You will use the LAN port on the IT-100 to network all of the computers in your home or office. Once you have your computers connected to the IT-100's LAN, those computers will be able to communicate with each other, with computers on your wireless or WLAN network if you have configured one, and with the Internet. The LAN port (actually, four separate ports) are assigned with the IP Address of 10.9.8.7 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 by default (see IP Address and Subnet Mask in this Glossary for details) A LAN network is also sometimes referred to as an Ethernet network. See the Networking sections of the FAQs and HOW TOs for more information.
