applying the changes and rebooting
the DeviceMaster. See your network
administrator for a valid IP address.

Mask: The subnet mask is a 32-bit value (255.x.x.x) that enables IP
packets to distinguish the network ID and host ID portions of the IP
address that filters traffic.

If you do not reboot the DeviceMaster at this time, the IP address is not
implemented on the DeviceMaster. Failure to reboot at this time can cause
network communication problems later, if the IP address is not programmed
into the DeviceMaster. Comtrol support recommends rebooting the
DeviceMaster at this point.
