Appendix B Understanding IP Addresses This appendix provides information about understanding IP addresses, which you must assign to the NETGEAR Model PS104/PS105/PS110 print server when operating in a TCP/IP environment. IP Addresses and the Internet Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected widely across the world, every machine on the Internet must have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct destination. Blocks of addresses are assigned to organizations by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Individual users and small organizations may obtain their addresses either from the IANA or from an Internet service provider (ISP). The Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 32-bit address structure. The address is usually written in dot notation (also called dotted-decimal notation), in which each group of eight bits is written in decimal form, separated by decimal points. For example, the binary address: 11000011 00100010 00001100 00000111 is normally written as: 195.34.12.7 which is easier to remember and easier to enter into your computer. In addition, the 32 bits of the address are subdivided into two parts. The first part of the address identifies the network, and the second part identifies the host node or station on the network. The dividing point may vary depending on the address range and the application. Understanding IP Addresses B-1

Understanding IP Addresses
This appendix provides information about understanding IP addresses, which you must assign to
the NETGEAR Model PS104/PS105/PS110 print server when operating in a TCP/IP environment.
IP Addresses and the Internet
Because TCP/IP networks are interconnected widely across the world, every machine on the
Internet must have a unique address to make sure that transmitted data reaches the correct
destination. Blocks of addresses are assigned to organizations by the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA). Individual users and small organizations may obtain their addresses either from
the IANA or from an Internet service provider (ISP).
The Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 32-bit address structure. The address is usually written in dot
notation (also called dotted-decimal notation), in which each group of eight bits is written in
decimal form, separated by decimal points. For example, the binary address:
11000011
00100010
00001100
00000111
is normally written as:
195.34.12.7
which is easier to remember and easier to enter into your computer.
In addition, the 32 bits of the address are subdivided into two parts. The first part of the address
identifies the network, and the second part identifies the host node or station on the network. The
dividing point may vary depending on the address range and the application.
