Assigning an IP Address
Overview Each DataNET device must have a unique IP address. This 32-bit
number defines each devices network ID and host ID. The IP address
must be assigned by the user before the unit is network operational.
See Setting Network Address page 30, for instructions on how to enter
the IP address.
IP Address The IP Address consists of a 32-bit number divided into four 8-bit fields.
Each field is expressed as a decimal number from 1 to 255 with each
field separated by periods. This is referred to as “dotted decimal”
notation. For example, 192.16.9.52 is an IP address.
