Collecting Ethernet Setup Information
This section assumes that you are setting up your Prestige for a TCP/IP
connection. If you want to configure the Prestige for other protocols
(e.g., IPX), refer to the appropriate chapters.
•
Ethernet Interface - The first step is to determine the type of
Ethernet interface you will be using on the Prestige. There are two
options: AUI or UTP. Record the interface type onto the
worksheet. If you have a 10Base2 (BNC), you should choose
AUI.
•
IP Address - An IP Address is required for TCP/IP protocol. The
IP Address is the unique 32-bit number assigned to your Prestige.
This address is written in dotted decimal notation (four 8-bit
numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods), e.g.,
192.68.203.5.
Record the IP Address into the worksheet as assigned by your
network administrator. Note that every machine on an internet must
have a unique IP address - do not assign an arbitrary address to
any machine.
•
IP Sub-net Mask - This field is required for TCP/IP protocol. An
IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID.
The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of
the address, expressed in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige will
automatically calculate this mask based on the IP address that you
assign. Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default
mask as calculated by the Prestige.
The table below lists some examples of IP subnet masks and the
number of hosts that are allowed. Consult your network administrator if
you are unsure of this value.
