Gateway Address and Subnet Mask Setup
Next, is to setup the desired Gateway Address and Subnet Mask, if needed.
Subnet Mask - This parameter 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 - 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.
