Example:
Discovering the
Default IP
Network Address
The following example shows the steps for discovering the default IP network
address.
Step Action
1 Locate the global address label on the front panel of the module.
2 Note the rightmost eight digits.
3 Convert them from hexadecimal to decimal. Each pair of hexadecimal numbers
will result in a decimal number between 0 and 255. This is the default IP address.
4 If you use the default IP network address and if your network uses Ethernet II
framing and if you do not need to specify the default gateway or a subnet mask,
then you may install the module without changing the default configuration.
