1The following fields have been removed from the ethernet Data Module screen:

•Broadcast Address

•Automatic Subnet Routing

The Broadcast Address field previously enabled you to specify that broadcast messages are to be sent to a subset of the host’s subnet. Now, broadcast messages are always sent to the host’s full subnet.

The Automatic Subnet Routing field previously enabled you to disable automatic subnet routing. Now, automatic subnet routing is always enabled.

2The following fields have been moved from the ethernet Data Module screen to the new IP Interfaces screen:

•Enable Link?

•Node Name

•Subnet Mask

3The following field is added to the ethernet Data Module screen:

•Network uses 1’s for broadcast addresses?

This field enables you to accommodate systems on your network that use the older method of putting 0’s instead of 1’s in the host portion of a broadcast address.
