such as the subnet mask and default router, and provide other configuration
information such as the addresses for printer, time and news servers. For specific
settings information, see your system administrator.
IP Address

value is encoded in the flash memory in the scaler.
Valid IP addresses consist of four 1-, 2-, or 3-digit numeric subfields separated by
dots (periods). Each field can be numbered from 000 through 255. Leading zeroes,
up to 3 digits total per field, are optional. Values of 256 and above are invalid.
