The network itself is usually segmented into a number of sub-networks. Small
offices will generally just use one sub-network, with larger ones running many sub-
networks that are linked together across a sub-network bridge. Sub-networks are
split up by assigning different ranges of IP addresses to the different sub-networks.
The ranges are defined by the ‘sub-net mask’.
In very simple setups with 2 pieces of equipment (e.g. a computer and one other
piece of equipment), it is possible to link the two together using just a cable (which
must be a cross-over cable). However, this setup is rare.
Where only a single sub-network exists (as in the majority of cases) it is vital that:
1. All equipment has different IP addresses.
2. All IP addresses are part of the same sub-net.
3. All equipment has the same sub-net mask.
In most situations the computer will already be attached to a network, and therefore
its IP address and sub-net mask will be easily accessible (e.g. in Windows XP you
can right-click on the network activity icon to see the Support status, or check the
Network Connections in the Control Panel and right-click the ‘Local Area
Connection’).
An IP Address then needs to be assigned to your unit. Typically this will be by
changing the last of the 4 values (that are separated by dots) to one that is not yet
in use. The ‘IP add’ menu item is used to enter this into your unit.
The sub-network’s ‘sub-net mask’ then needs to be copied to the ‘IP sub’ menu
item listed below.
For simple setups (where only a single sub-network is in use), there is no need to
change the IP gtwy (gateway) numbers.
This parameter has three possible states: On, Off and Auto. On and off manually
control the Ethernet capability of the unit. When in Auto mode, if a valid Ethernet
connection is present, remote control of the unit will automatically default to
Ethernet and control via RS-232 is disabled whilst that connection is maintained.
Enter 4 numbers one by one to form the IP address you wish to assign to the unit.
The IP address is a series of four numbers between 0 and 255. Anything above 255
is not a valid number in an IP address range. The unit will not allow you to go above
255.
