Introduction
Matrix supplies a special windows based software package to
program the SETU VFX88L
/
VFX44L through the Internet, known as
Jeeves. Description of following features related to web will help in
programming the system:
IP Address
• An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number,
similar in concept to a telephone number, used by network devices
(computers, time-servers, FAX machines, some telephones). It is
attached to a network to refer to each other when sending
information through a LAN or a WAN or the Internet for example.
• An example of IP address is 207.142.131.236. Converting a
number address to a more human-readable form called a domain
address is done via the Domain Name System.
• The Internet Protocol (IP) knows each logical host interface by a
number, the so-called IP address. On any given network, this
number must be unique among all the host interfaces that
communicate through this network.
• Users of the Internet are sometimes given a host name in addition
to their numerical IP address by their Internet service provider.
• For all programs that utilize the TCP/IP protocol, the sender IP
address and destination IP address are required in order to
establish communications and send data.
Sub Net Mask Address
• It is a mechanism that is used to split a network into a number of
smaller sub networks. It can be used to reduce traffic on each sub
network by confining traffic to only the sub networks for which it is
intended, thereby eliminating issues of associated congestion on
other sub networks and reducing congestion in the network as a
whole.
• Makes entire network more manageable.
• Each sub network functions as though it were an independent
network, keeping local traffic local, and forwarding traffic to another
sub network only if the address of the data is external to the sub
