15.4 IP and TCP/ IP
Every Ethernet participant must have an individual IP address. This address may not be used a second time in the same network. The IP address consists of 4 numbers (any 0 to 255). The first numbers define the network address, the other numbers define the participant's address.

would be displayed as: | 57. | 61. | 242. | 25 |
