The DMS requires an IP address to be connected to the

internet and to allow computers to access the DMS.

 Public IP

Public IP addresses are IP addresses that are visible to

the public.

Static IP : An address assigned by the internet service

provider to be its permanent address on the internet

 Dynamic IP : Temporary IP address assigned by the

internet service provider that changes every time the

computer connects to the internet.

 Private IP

The internet cannot be accessed using a private IP

unless a HUB, or an internet sharing program is used.

However, if a private IP is used, the computer or the

DMS cannot be accessed from the internet.

There are three blocks of private IP addresses:

- 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255

- 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255

- 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

A private IP is not assigned by the internet service

providers. Internet service providers assign only public IPs,

whether static or dynamic.
