IP Address:
The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number that identifies each
sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Ethernet or the
Internet. The iServer’s default IP address is

should be changed to fit user’s networking environment. Consult with your IT department
for obtaining an IP address.

another network node that is not on the same network on which the iServer is connected,
a gateway address needs to be given to the iServer. The gateway address should be the
IP address of the router connected to the same LAN to which the iServer is connected.
The iServer’s default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. Consult with your IT department for
obtaining a gateway address.
