Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part

A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for
the host part.

Netmask: Number of Bits for Host Part (0=default) (0) _

Note:

Class A: 24 bits; Class B: 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits

The unit prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which appears in standard decimal-dot notation (for example,
255.255.255.0) when the saved parameters display. The default setting is 0.

connection enabled and issue the NC (Network Communication) command,
