IP Assignments for Initial Contact: Information Needed Before Starting

You can make the name DNS qualified by adding a company domain name and a top domain, for example im00801e.mycompany.com.

Permissible characters: alpha (A-Z), numeric (digits 0- 9), minus sign (-), underscore (_) and period (.)— subject to the following additional restrictions:

Periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of DNS qualified names (“domain style names”).

The first character must be alpha.

The last character must not be a minus sign, an underscore or a period.

Finally, if you will be using a method for initial contact which does not work across routers you must do the follow- ing:

Find the IP address for your the PC or terminal from which you will be configuring the Intermate1xx.

Tip:

DOS commands for Windows users winipcfg (Windows 95/98) or

ipconfig (Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 or XP)

Determine whether or not your PC's or terminal’s IP address is on the same net-segment as the address chosen for the Intermate1xx.

If there is a router or a gateway between the two, then you must get them both on the same segment or choose a method for assigning an address to the unit which can work across a router with the help of an IP static route.
