Select this parameter to enter the IP address. Every device on 

a TCP/IP network must have an identification address. The IP 
address is a value consisting of the network address and the 

host address on that network. The value assigned to a 

network depends on the number of computers on that 
network. 

The IP address is a 32-bit number. The number consists of 4 

parts, where each part consists of 3 digits. One part of the 
address identifies the network and another part of the 

address identifies the host. The numbers in the address, 

which identifies the host, depend on the class. 

There are 5 classes of IP addresses. Each class represents a 
network having a certain number of computers. For example, 

a Class C address is given to a network having between 1 to 

255 computers. 
The numbers in each part of the code are translated into 

binary. The binary code identifies the network and the host.  

IP addresses are assigned by the Internet Network 
Information Center (InterNIC). InterNIC assigns the network 

ID. Host IDs are assigned by the network administrator. 

LAN IP Mask 

 

Select this parameter to enter the IP mask. The mask is 

configured automatically from the IP address class. If you want 

to change the default mask, enter a new mask. For example, 

the IP mask is usually 225.225.225.0. A mask like this would 
allow 254 hosts on the LAN. If you want to create a subnet, 

which allows 6 users, including FCD-IPM, configure the mask 

as 225.225.225.248. on FCD-IPM, as well as each host 
included on the subnet (refer to
