10 TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal
called “IP addresses”) are usually written as four decimal numbers separated by
decimal points ('.' character).
There are three main classes of IP address:
7 bits 24 bits
Class A
0 Network Host
14 bits 16 bits
Class B
1 0 Network Host
21 bits 8 bits
Class C
1 1 0 Network Host
Thus every IP address occupies 4 bytes and contains both:
- a network address, and
- a host address.
even though these may be of varying lengths.
Note: all devices attached to the same network must have the same class and
the same network address. Each must have a different host address.
Example: a Platine terminal connected, over a network, to a host with an IP
address 192.1.168.40 (class C: three bytes for the Network address) must have
the three first bytes of its address set to 192.1.168. The fourth byte cannot be
equal to 40.
The 'Network' menu of the TCP/IP Set-Up is used:
- to select the Platine terminal IP address,
- to read the Platine terminal Ethernet address,
- to define which hosts and routers the Platine terminal will be allowed to
access.
