MCNConfig Program: Network Interface Window

Adding a Network Interface – HIB-IP only
(Skip this section if you are using a PCLTA, or non dial-up HIB-232 module.)
When you start to build a new system, the MCNConfig program will look in the registry to determine
which Network Interface you have selected. If you have set up a Non-IP Network Interface (such as a
PCLTA, or a Non-Dial-Up HIB-232) in the HWSetup program, the MCNConfig program will find it and
select it as the Network Interface for this system.
If you have selected a HIB-IP in the HW Setup program, the MCNConfig program will open the
Network Interface Properties window.
Enter the appropriate parameters for the HIB-IP unit:
Name
Give a name to the HIB-IP unit. This is the name that you will refer to when you add hardware
modules to the system.
Address
Enter a valid Class A, B, or C IP address for this unit.
See details in the HIB-IP Hardware Reference Manual.
Subnet Mask
Enter the Subnet Mask for this IP address.
See details in the HIB-IP Hardware Reference Manual.
The HIB-IP Subnet Mask cannot be less restrictive than the following standard IP Class
Subnet Masks
Class First Octet Standard Subnet Size Standard Subnet Mask
A 1-127 16,777,214 255.0.0.0
B 128-191 65,543 255.255.0.0
C 192-223 253 255.255.255.0
D 224-239 Multicast – Do not use.
E 240-255 Experimental – Do not use.
The HIB-IP units can accept a subnet mask that is more restrictive (more 1's set in the Subnet
Mask), but not less restrictive.
