a Enter the IP Address.
This is the Internet address for the channel client.
The format is dotted decimal notation in the form
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx is in the range from 0
to 255.
b Enter the IP Mask.
The mask is used to partition the IP address into
two parts: a network side and a host side. The left
side of the address is shared among all hosts
attached to the same physical network segment.
The remainder of the mask is unique for each
host belonging to that segment. For example, if a
Class B address of 123.1.0.0 is assigned to your
company, and no more than 255 hosts will be
assigned to any physical segment, then an
appropriate net mask might be 255.255.255.0.
Thus, all host systems sharing the common
address 123.1.0.xxx would be attached to the
same physical network segment.
