For detailed information on the airView tool, refer to “airView” on page 36. -- IP Address Specify the IP address of the airFiber X radio. This IP will be used for device management purposes. -- Netmask When the netmask is expanded into its binary form, it provides a mapping to define which portions of the IP address range are used for the network devices and which portions are used for host devices. The netmask defines the address space of the airFiber X radio’s network segment. The 255.255.255.0 (or “/24”) netmask is commonly used on many Class C IP networks. -- Gateway IP Typically, this is the IP address of the host router, which provides the point of connection to the Internet. This can be a DSL modem, cable modem, or WISP gateway router. The airFiber X radio directs data packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network. -- Primary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server. -- Secondary DNS IP Specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server.

Auto IP Aliasing If enabled, automatically generates an IP address for the corresponding WLAN/LAN interface. The generated IP address is a unique Class B IP address from the 169.254.X.Y range (netmask 255.255.0.0), which is intended for use within the same network segment only. The Auto IP always starts with 169.254.X.Y, with X and Y as the last two octets from the MAC address of the airFiber X radio. For example, if the MAC address is 00:15:6D:A3:04:FB, then the generated unique Auto IP will be 169.254.4.251. (The hexadecimal value, FB, converts to the decimal value, 251.) The Auto IP Aliasing setting can be useful because you can still access and manage devices even if you lose, misconfigure, or forget their IP addresses. Because an Auto IP address is based on the last two octets of the MAC address, you can determine the IP address of a device if you know its MAC address. 22 Ubiquiti Networks, Inc.
