Network / IP Settings
To change the Network/IP settings, press '1'. The following values can be
set/changed: IP Address, Gateway Address, NetMask.

IP Address

The IP address must be set to a unique value in your network. If you are not
familiar with IP addresses, please refer to Appendix A.
If the VMSE is given an address that is already in use it will not connect to
the network.

Gateway IP Address

The router/gateway address is needed to communicate to other LAN
segments. The default gateway must be set to the IP address of the router
that connects these segments. This address must be within the local network.

Netmask

A netmask defines how many bits from the IP address are to be taken as the
network section and how many bits are to be taken as the host section (re
class A: 8/24 (net/host), class B: 16/16, class C: 24/8 bits). If set to 0, the
standard netmask for the actual IP address is used. Appendix A covers the
calculation of the right value in detail.
The VMSE prompts for the number of host bits, and then calculates the
netmask. It is shown in standard format "255.255.xxx.xxx" when saved
parameters are displayed.
