See the table below to configure the subnet mask and gateway
address fields for each processor via your programming software.
Ethernet Channel 1 Configuration Screen Advanced Functions
This field: Specifies: Configure by doing the following:
Subnet Mask The processor’s subnet mask.
The subnet mask is used to interpret IP
addresses when the internet is divided
into subnets.
Enter an address of the following form:
a.b.c.d Where: a, b, c, d are numbers between 0-255 (decimal)
If your network is not divided into subnets, then leave the subnet mask field
at the default. If you change the default and need to reset it, type 0.0.0.0.
Gateway Address The IP address of the gateway that
provides a connection to another
IP network.
This field is required when you
communicate with other devices not on a
local subnet.
Enter an address of the following form:
a.b.c.d Where: a, b, c, d are numbers between 0-255 (decimal)
The default address is No Gateway .
