Addresses not in the preceding table should be valid, as long as they identify the host
within the given network. See your System Supervisor for the correct address to use.
Network Masks
The server uses a network mask to identify all workstations on the same network. In
the absence of subnetting, the network mask is created by using 255 (all 1s) for the
network ID address octets and by using 0 for the host ID octets.
On a class C network , the network mask is
255.255.255.0
On a class B network , the network mask is
255.255.0.0
On a class A network , the network mask is
255.0.0.0
Broadcast Addresses
The server uses a broadcast address to send information to all workstations on the
network. In the absence of subnetting, the broadcast address is created by using the
network ID address octets and 255 (all 1s) for the host ID octets.
XANTÉ printer default addresses
On a class C network , the broadcast address is
192.9.200.255
On a class B network , the broadcast address is
192.9.255.255
On a class A network , the broadcast address is
192.255.255.255
Subnet Addresses
Subnetting is used frequently to manage traffic between ports on a router more efficiently.
Subnetworks are created by using part of the host ID as a subnetwork ID. The balance of
the host ID identifies the individual workstations assigned to the subnetwork. Check with
your System Supervisor for details about your network’s subnet addresses.
