6 - 22 MC3000 Integrator Guide Figure 6-28 Static IP Address Entry Dialog Box Table 6-14 Static IP Address Entry Fields Field Description IP Address The Internet is a collection of networks with users that communicate with each other. Each communication carries the address of the source and destination networks and the particular machine within the network associated with the user or host computer at each end. This address is called the IP address (Internet Protocol address). Each node on the IP network must be assigned a unique IP address that is made up of a network identifier and a host identifier. Enter the IP address as a dotted-decimal notation with the decimal value of each octet separated by a period, for example, 192.168.7.27. Subnet Mask Most TCP/IP networks use subnets in order to effectively manage routed IP addresses. Having an organization's network divided into subnets allows it to be connected to the Internet with a single shared network address, for example, 255.255.255.0. Select the Advanced check box to enter additional address information. If the Advanced check box is selected then tapping Next displays the Advanced Address Entry dialog box to enter the Gateway, DNS, and WINS address. If the Advanced check box is not selected then tapping Next displays the Transmit Power dialog box. Figure 6-29 Advanced Address Entry Dialog Box The IP information that is entered in the profile is only used when the Enable IP Mgmt check box is enabled in the Options > System Options dialog box (System Options on page 6-38). When Enable IP Mgmt check box is disabled, the IP information in the profile is ignored and the IP information entered in the Microsoft interface applies.
