Parameters	Possible Values	Description

Routing		Select this parameter to set the routing option.
		Note: This parameter appears for the 2-LAN device only.

LAN IP Address	Class A
	1.0.0.0 to
	127.255.255.255,

Class B 128.0.0.0 to

191.255.255.255,

Class C 192.0.0.0 to

223.255.255.255,

Class D 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255

Class E 240.0.0.0 to

247.255.255.255

Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on a TCP/IP network must have an identification address. The IP address is a value consisting of the network address and the host address on that network. The value assigned to a network depends on the number of computers on that network.

The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number consists of 4 parts, where each part consists of 3 digits. One part of the address identifies the network and another part of the address identifies the host. The numbers in the address, which identifies the host, depend on the class.

There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a network having a certain number of computers. For example, a Class C address is given to a network having between 1 to 255 computers.

The numbers in each part of the code are translated into binary. The binary code identifies the network and the host. IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the network ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network administrator.

LAN IP Mask	Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is
	configured automatically from the IP address class. If you want
	to change the default mask, enter a new mask. For example,
	the IP mask is usually 225.225.225.0. A mask like this would
	allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you want to create a subnet,
	which allows 6 users, including FCD-IPM, configure the mask
	as 225.225.225.248. on FCD-IPM, as well as each host
	included on the subnet (refer to Figure 4-4).
