Network Setup

What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is used to identify each device on an Ethernet network. This number
is usually represented by four decimal numbers (called "octets"), each in the range of 0 through 255 and
separated by dots; for example, 198.123.34.240. This is called "dotted decimal notation."
An IP address is divided into two parts:
Network identifier
Host identifier
Each address on a given network must have the same network identifier value but have a unique host identifier.
As a result, there are different classes of addresses that define the range of valid addresses and the parts of the
address that are used for the network and host identifiers.
The most common IP address classes are:
Class Name
Class A
Class B
Class C
NNN refers to the network identifier and HHH refers to the host identifier.

Choosing IP Addresses

If the computer and the DXP PLUS are directly connected or connected via their own independent network, follow
the guidelines below for choosing the IP addresses.
However, if you intend to connect your computer and switcher to an existing network, you need to advise the
network administrator and ask the administrator to allocate suitable IP addresses.
On an independent network, it is generally recommended that you use the Class C format (from 192.0.0.1 to
223.255.255.254).
Valid Address Range
0.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254
128.0.0.1 to 191.255.255.254
192.0.0.1 to 223.255.255.254
Identifier Arrangement
NNN.HHH.HHH.HHH
NNN.NNN.HHH.HHH
NNN.NNN.NNN.HHH
