ZyXEL Communications 128L Manual Do Utilizador

This section assumes that you are setting up your Prestige for a TCP/IP 
connection. If you want to configure the Prestige for other protocols 
(e.g., IPX), refer to the appropriate chapters. 

• 

Ethernet Interface - The first step is to determine the type of 
Ethernet interface you will be using. There are two options: AUI or 
UTP. Record the interface type onto the worksheet. If you have a 
10Base2 (BNC), you should choose AUI. 

• 

IP Address - An IP Address is required for TCP/IP protocol. The 
IP Address is the unique 32-bit number assigned to your Prestige. 
This address is written in dotted decimal notation (four 8-bit 
numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods), e.g., 
192.68.203.5. 

 

Record the IP Address into the worksheet as assigned by your 
network administrator. Note that every machine on an internet must 
have a unique IP address - do not assign an arbitrary address to 
any machine. 

• 

IP Sub-net Mask - This field is required for TCP/IP protocol. An 
IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. 
The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of 
the address, expressed in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige will 
automatically calculate this mask based on the IP address that you 
assign. Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default 
mask. 

The table below lists some examples of IP subnet masks and the 
number of hosts that are allowed. Consult your network administrator if 
you are unsure of this value.
