APPENDIX: IP ADDRESS SETTINGS FOR THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC NETWORK MANAGEMENT CARD

Overview

All devices on a computer network need to have an IP address. Each device’s IP address is unique. The

same address cannot be used twice. In order to assign an IP address to the Middle Atlantic Network

Interface Card, you must determine the range of the available IP addresses, and then choose an unused IP

address to assign to the Network Interface Card.

PLEASE NOTE: You may need to contact your network administrator to obtain an available IP address.

Procedures to find an IP address:

1) Locate the subnet of Middle Atlantic Network Interface Card.

One way to determine the range of possible IP addresses is to view the network configuration on a

workstation. Click on [Start] and select [Run]. Type “command” into the open box and click [OK]. At the

command prompt type “ipconfig/all” and press [Enter]. The computer will display network information:

Ethernet adapter

Connection-specific DNS Suffix…………: xxxx.com

Description…………………..…: D-Link DE220 ISA PnP LAN adapter

Physical Address…………..….: 00-80-C8-DA-7A-C0

DHCP Enabled……………......: Yes

Auto configuration Enabled …..: Yes

IP Address……………..……..: 192.168.20.102

Subnet Mask…………...……..: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway……..…….....: 192.168.20.1

DHCP Server………………….: 192.168.20.1

DNS Servers………………..…: 211.20.71.202; 168.95.1.1

2) Select an IP Address for Middle Atlantic Network Management Card

Verify the IP Addresses for the computer and the Network Management Card belong to the same subnet.

Refer to the above network information, the possible IP Address for the Network Management Card

could be 192.168.20.* (* hereafter represents any number between 1 and 255). Similarly, if the Subnet

Mask is 255.255.0.0, the IP Address for Network Management Card could be set up as 192.168.*.* to

reach the same subnet as the computer.

If you wish to set the IP Address to 192.168.20.240, type “Ping 192.168.20.240” in the command prompt.

If the request times out (See Figure) the address is most likely not used and available for use with the

Middle Atlantic Network Interface Card

Pinging 192.168.20.240 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
