 8-76

9124-A2-GH30-00

June 1999 - Preliminary

Table 8-18.

External Modem (on Com Port) Options (2 of 2)

Alternate IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies the Alternate IP Address for the COM port when the alternate phone directory
is used. If this configuration option is not configured (i.e., it is zero), the COM port’s
primary IP Address is used when the alternate telephone directory is used.

Display Conditions – This option:

H

Only appears if External Modem Commands is set to AT.

H

Is only in effect when the COM port is configured as a network communication lonk
(Port Use is set to Net Link, see Table 8-17, 

Communication Port Options

).

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the COM port, which
you can view or edit.

Clear – Clears the IP address for the COM port and fills the address with zeros.

Alternate Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear
Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the Alternate Subnet Mask for the COM port when the alternate phone
directory is used.

Display Conditions – This option:

H

Only appears if External Modem Commands is set to AT.

H

Is only in effect when the COM port is configured as a network communication lonk
(Port Use is set to Net Link, see Table 8-17, 

Communication Port Options

).

000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Shows the subnet mask for the COM port, which
you can view or edit.

Clear – Clears the subnet mask for the COM port and fills the address with zeros. When
the node subnet mask is all zeros, the IP protocol creates a default subnet mask based
upon the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000,
or Class C: 255.255.255.000.
