Gateway
If the MCN Server PC will be using an IP address that is in a different subnet than the HIB-IP,
you must enter a Gateway IP address. This is the IP address of the IP router that the HIB-IP
will communicate to in order to talk to a PC that is on a different IP subnet. The Gateway IP
address must be on the same subnet as the HIB-IP unit.

If the MCN Server PC and the HIB-IP are on the same subnet, you do not have to enter a
Gateway address.

See details in the HIB-IP Hardware Reference Manual.

Group
MCN Group address for the HIB-IP.

Value: 00-FE Hex

See Warning under Important: MCN Address Setting on Page 33.

Module
MCN Module address for PCLTAs and HIB-IP units.

Value: 00-7E Hex

Usually a HIB-IP will be set for a module number of 10 hex

or above. This leaves room for HIB-232 modules in the system, which are limited to
Module Numbers 0-F.

MCN Group & Module Settings
Note:

All Network Interfaces and MCN modules must have unique addresses.

In addition, in Custom-Engineered systems with Routers and EXB Network Extenders, there
may be specific Group & Module addresses that must be used with particular Network
Interfaces, depending on their location in the MCN network.

If you have a Custom Engineered System, be sure to consult your custom system configuration
documentation for the proper setting for the Group & Module addresses for your Network
Interfaces.
