The IP address is made up of the network number and the number of the Network sub-

scribers (e.g. phone). Depending on the Subnet mask, the front one, two or three parts

make up the network number and the rest of the IP address addresses the network com-

ponent. The network number of all the components in any one network must be iden-

tical.
IP addresses can be assigned automatically with DHCP (dynamic IP addresses) or manu-

ally (static IP addresses).
