Assigning an IP Address

Each individual hub board (“hub-half”) in the system must have a unique
IP address. This 32-bit number defines each DNH’s network ID and host
ID. The IP address must be assigned by the user before the unit is net-
work operational.

See Setting Network Address page 57, for instructions on how to enter
the 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” nota-
tion. For example, 192.16.9.52 is an IP address.

Ask your network administrator to assign you an IP Address, or if the
DNH will be in a closed plant area and not connected to the Internet you
can select an address from Table 3-1.
