Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to determine what part of the IP address is the network
portion and what part is the host portion.
It is often 255.255.0.0 or 255.255.255.0 however correct setting is essential for correct
operation.
The subnet mask is entered in dotted decimal format.
Eg: 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.224.0
Gateway
The gateway setting specifies the IP address of the machine/router which the RMS
Compact II unit uses to communicate with different networks.
The gateway address is entered in dotted decimal format.
Eg: 192.168.0.1 or 11.2.24.103
Most networks will have a gateway and correct setting is important for correct
network communications.
Note!
Once IP Configuration options are entered and Save is
pressed the changes will take effect. If incorrect
entries are made this may result in loss of
communication.
In this event the best course of action is to reset the
RMS Compact II
units’ network configuration.
Details of how to do this can be found in the Troubleshooting section.
