3.1.Hardware Connection Tips / Hints
The FieldServer utility program Ruinet will connect to the FieldServer even if the Netmask setting on the PC differs from the setting on the FieldServer. SNMP will only work between Nodes for which these settings correspond, however, thus all Nodes required to communicate using SNMP must have the same Netmask setting.
