Gateway Address and Subnet Mask Setup
Set up the Gateway address and Subnet Mask if needed based on your
Ethernet Network configuration. Default values typically are for
Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0 and as a default the Gateway address is
left blank.
Subnet Mask is a parameter that interprets IP addresses when the
network is divided into multiple networks. The IP address is formatted
as four sets of decimal numbers with periods between them
(255.255.255.1). The range of values for the first set of decimal
numbers is 1 to 255. The range of values for the last three sets of
decimal numbers is 0 to 255. The value 0.0.0.0 is not a valid subnet
mask.
Gateway Address is a unique address of the Gateway connecting two
individual IP networks into a system of networks. When a node needs
to communicate with a node on another network, the Gateway
transfers the data between the two networks. The IP address is
formatted as four sets of decimal numbers (from 1 to 255) with
periods between them (130.0.0.1). The first field cannot be 0 if any
other fields contain a 0.
Once the desired Gateway Address and Subnet Mask have been
entered, click on the Setup button located just below where the
Subnet Mask was entered. If for some reason, the settings are not
received by the 2706-PENET1 module, the following error message
will appear.
However, upon successfully setting up the Gateway Address and
Subnet Mask, the following message appears telling you to cycle
power to the module.
