Set Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN
segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The
default is
N
(No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway
address, type
Y
and enter the address.
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y
Gateway IP addr ( 0) ( 0) ( 0) ( 0)_
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for
the host part.
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _
Note:
Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example,
255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters display.

DHCP Name
If a DHCP server has automatically assigned the IP address and network settings,
you can discover the unit by using the DeviceInstaller network search feature.
There are three methods for assigning DHCP names to the unit.
