A static IP address requires the user to manually enter a valid IP address as well as a Subnet Mask.

Note: Duplicate IP addresses will cause problems on the network. If static IP addresses are

to be used, it is very important to ensure that they are different from other addresses

already in use.

1. Access the network connection configuration interface as outlined earlier in this

section.

97. Press the keyboard arrow keys to select the IPv4 Settings page.
98. Press the Tab key to highlight the Manual Configuration option and press the

spacebar to select it if is not already.

99. Use the Tab key to highlight the IP Address field.

100. Enter the chosen IP address. Press the full stop/dot key to move to the next block

of the IP address.

101. Press the Tab key to highlight the Subnet Mask field. QBox stores this value as a

two-digit number. The most common Subnet Mask is 24 which corresponds to a IP

address of 255.255.255.0

102. Enter the 24-Bit Subnet Mask for QBox on the network and then press the Tab key.
103. The Subnet Mask is a two digit figure relating to the number of binary 1s in the

address of the mask.

The most common subnet masks and their equivalent numbers are in the table
below.
