WARNING – These settings must be changed to match the subnet of
the network on which the Mantis™ II Reader is to be used.
These Ethernet settings are stored in the network.txt file, which is read by
the Reader at boot time. Each setting is represented as a string of
hexadecimal characters. For IP addresses, a pair of hexadecimal characters
(00 to FF) represents each decimal component (0 to 255) of the address. For
example:
IP address: 192.168.1.239 => C0A801EF
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 => FFFF0000
Gateway: 192.168.1.1 => C0A80101
The network.txt file consists of the following default hexadecimal strings
that are concatenated on a single line. For example:
C0A80181 FFFFF000 C0A80105 0A 3E8 578 1F4

Network-Enabled Reader Programmer Utility allows the user to
change these settings using dotted decimal notation for IP
addresses, the subnet mask, and other advanced settings.
