Figure 5-9 General Configuration Screen

The following briefly explains each General Configuration screen field:

MAC Address (Read-Only)

Displays the base physical address of the 2H28-08R.

IP Address (Modifiable)

Displays and allows the user to set the IP address for the 2H28-08R. To set the IP address, refer to Section 5.7.1. The IP address can also be set through Runtime IP Address Discovery as previously described in Section 1.3.5.

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)

Displays the subnet mask for the 2H28-08R. A subnet mask “masks out” the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit identifies the host. Once an IP address has been entered, the device will automatically generate and display a default subnet mask based on the entered IP address. For details about changing the subnet mask from its default value, refer to Section 5.7.2.
