Use the following IP address
and specify an IP address and subnet mask for the PC. For a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0, the embedded system’s IP address must match the first three octets of the PC’s IP
address for the PC to recognize the embedded system. See Section for additional information about
choosing the embedded system’s IP address.
Note:
When entering an IP or subnet address into the dialog box, the cursor will automatically advance to
the next field for a three digit octet. If entering a one or two digit octet, the spacebar, right arrow key, or ‘.’
can be pressed to advance to the next field.
