IP Addresses
From this section of the Admin Settings page, you can establish where on your network ReM searches
for scanners when you use the Find page (see page 3-10). You can name IP address ranges or use the
Locations option to name and organize both IP and MAC addresses.
Note: Changes made to the IP Addresses section of the Admin Settings page are not available for
searches until you click the Reset button on the Find page. In addition, the new Find parameters
are not displayed to other users logged into ReM until they also click Reset. This feature protects
any earlier search results from being inadvertently lost.
IP Addresses
Use the IP Addresses section to give ranges of IP addresses user-friendly names and to organize them
into groups that best suit your business. The subnet mask splits the IP address between the network
portion of the address and the host identifiers of the address. The Network Address field should con-
tain the default gateway, and the Subnet Mask field should be at most a default Class C address
(255.255.255.0). The Class C address can also be further divided into smaller subnet masks.
In the screen example above, Building1-Dept1 is the name assigned to the Network Address
192.168.1.0. When you select this address on the Find screen, ReM will search for all IP addresses
from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. (We do not recommend using IP addresses greater than 254.)
Note: You can change only one row of the IP Address table at a time. If you try to change more than
one, only the line corresponding to the Save or Del button you click will be affected, and you will
lose your other changes.
The green and red circles to the right of each IP address range indicate whether the address is valid or
invalid. The last item in the IP address list always displays a Network Address of 0.0.0.0., which is used
to add a new IP range.
