It is worth noting here that Windows does allow LAN controllers to operate with several IP
addresses and sub-masks simultaneously, which can be useful if a number of frames need to
be set up. Once a frame is programmed with its final IP address it may be that the PC will no

setting an additional IP address could save time if a large number of frames are to be
configured. Additional IP addresses can be added via the ‘Advanced’ tab in Windows 7:
