TCP/IP Parameters Screen

The TCP/IP Parameters screen is used to set the IP_ADDRESS of the station and if your net-
work includes a gateway, the IP_NETWORK_MASK and the DEFAULT_GATEWAY address.

Figure 3-6. TCP/IP Parameters Screen

The values for these parameters (IP_ADDRESS, IP_NETWORK_MASK, and DE-
FAULT_GATEWAY) should be assigned by the person in charge of the network (the net-
work administrator). TCP/IP network administrators are familiar with these parameters
and they are not described in this manual. It is important that these parameters are cor-
rect, otherwise the Ethernet Interface may be unable to communicate on the network
and/or network operation may be corrupted.

However, if you have a simple isolated network with no gateways, you can use the fol-
lowing range of values for the assignment of local IP Addresses:

Note

If the isolated network is ever connected to another network, the IP
addresses 3.0.0.1 through 3.0.0.255 must not be used. The IP addresses
must be assigned so that they are compatible with the connected
network. Refer to Appendix G for more information on IP addressing.
