IP (Internet Protocol) Address and Name
Unlike the Ethernet address, you can change a device’s IP address.
Abekas assigns the same IP address to every Diskus at the factory.
You should change this address as needed for your local network.
See the Initial Setup procedure on the following pages.
IP addresses are 12-digit decimal numbers, divided into four
groups of three digits. A period (full stop) delimits each group.
Each group is a number in the range 1 to 254. Leading zeros are
normally dropped, so the address may appear to have less than
12 digits. The first three groups (nine digits, called the net-id)
must be the same for every device in a local network. The last
group (three digits, called the host-id) must be unique to each
device in the local network.
This type of network is known as a class C network. Class A and
B networks allow for more nodes by assigning more digits from
the address to the host-id, and fewer to the net-id.
The diagram below shows the structure of the IP address set for
every Diskus at the factory.
The IP name assigns a host name for Diskus. Do not confuse the
IP name with Diskus’ host name in a Unix workstation host file.
It is useful if the IP name matches the host name, but it does not
have to.
