Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on
a TCP/IP network must have an identification address. The IP
address is a value consisting of the network address and the
host address on that network. The value assigned to a
network depends on the number of computers on that
network.
The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number consists of 4
parts, where each part consists of 3 digits. One part of the
address identifies the network and another part of the
address identifies the host. The numbers in the address,
which identifies the host, depend on the class.
There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a
network having a certain number of computers. For example,
a Class C address is given to a network having between 1 to
255 computers.
The numbers in each part of the code are translated into
binary. The binary code identifies the network and the host.
IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network
Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the network
ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network administrator.
LAN IP Mask Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is
configured automatically from the IP address class. If you want
to change the default mask, enter a new mask. For example,
the IP mask is usually 225.225.225.0. A mask like this would
allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you want to create a subnet,
which allows 6 users, including FCD-IPM, configure the mask
as 225.225.225.248. on FCD-IPM, as well as each host
included on the subnet (refer to Figure 4-4).
