The Gateway is the address of a router to connect to other parts of a network. The Gateway address
consists of four bytes, each byte ranging from 0 to 255.
If your network uses gateways, this
parameter must be programmed before the MRP can be accessed through the network.
The Subnet Mask is a bit mask that identifies the network portion of the IP address, allowing the RPC to
determine whether to send a packet directly to the client or to a gateway. The Subnet Mask consists of
four bytes, each byte ranging from 0 to 255.
This parameter must be programmed before the MRP
can be accessed through the network
.
Select 2),
enters the Subnet Mask followed by <cr>. Failure to enter the address in the decimal form
causes the unit to display the following until it is
entered correctly.
Default Subnet Mask is 0.0.0.0.
Select 3),
changes the Gateway address. Failure to enter the address in the decimal form causes the unit
to display the following until it is entered correctly.
Default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0.
Enter Gateway address in dotted decimal form :
Enter Subnet Mask in dotted decimal form :
This option is for setting the IP Version-6.

The IPv6 address is a 128 bit network address assigned by your network manager for your network. The
IPv6 Address consists of eight groups of four hexadecimal bits separated by colons.
This parameter
must be programmed before the MMP can be accessible via the network.
NOTE:
There should be no active connections while configuring the MMP. The unit should be
reset upon completion of configuration.
Select 1),
to enter the IPv6 Address. Failure to enter the address in the hexadecimal form causes the unit
to display the following until it is entered correctly.
Default Module IPv6 Address is :: /0
Enter IP address in dotted decimal form :
NOTE: Do not change unless your
Network Administrator has
provided you with the IPv6
network data address.
The high-order bits of an IPv6 address (on the left as the address is written on paper) specify the
network, the rest specify particular addresses in that network. Thus all the addresses in one network have
the same first N bits. Those first N bits are called the "prefix". We use "/N" to denote a prefix N bits
long.
