Set Gateway IP Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within the local network. The default setting is N (No), meaning the gateway address has not been set. To set the gateway address, type Y and enter the address.
Set Gateway IP Address (N) ? Y
Gateway IP addr (000) (000) (000) (000)_
Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part

Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits
The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the netmask, which appears in standard
Table 7-3 Standard IP Network Netmasks
Options | Bit | Value |
A | 24 | 255.0.0.0 |
