Addresses, Subnets, and Ports
Every device on an Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. In order for two devices to
communicate with each other, they must both be connected to the network and they must have
IP addresses that are on the same subnet. A subnet is a logical division of a larger network.
Members of one subnet are generally not able to communicate with members of another unless

choices of IP addresses and subnet masks.
If you want to know the IP address and subnet mask of your PC, select Start…All Programs…
A'',%%*/&,%B5*>>(+.!!"/*>:-<!C#,+!-$:,!D&:'*+@;E!(+.!:/,%%!F+-,/<!G*1!%#*1).!%,,!
something like this:
If your PC’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, a common setting known as a Class C subnet
mask, then your machine can only talk to another network device whose IP address matches
$*1/%!&+!-#,!@/%-!-#/,,!*'-,-%<!4C#,!+1>?,/%!?,-2,,+!-#,!.*-%!&+!(+!9"!(../,%%!(/,!'()),.!*'-,-%<6!
For example, if your PC is on a Class C subnet and has an IP address of 192.168.0.20, it can
talk to a device at 192.168.0.40, but not one at 192.168.1.40. If you change your subnet mask to
HII<HII<J<J!45)(%%!K6!$*1!'(+!-()3!-*!(+$!.,0&',!2#*%,!@/%-!-2*!*'-,-%!>(-'#!$*1/%<!K,!%1/,!-*!
ask your system administrator before doing this. Your network may be segmented for a reason.
Your drive includes a 16 position rotary switch for setting its IP address. The factory default
address for each switch setting is shown in the table on the next page.
