Set Identification Mode tab - Change IP Addressing (Specify IP Address option enabled)
These selections direct the program to set the static IP addresses for network devices, using the IP/Host Name
Increment Value to increment the IP address and Host Name when a device has been identified.
For example, with a starting IP Address of "192.168.xxx.10", and 10 as the IP/Host Name Increment Value, the
program will increment the IP address to "193.168.xxx.20" for the next device identified. The next device identified
would be "193.168.xxx.30" , etc.
Similarly, with a starting Host Name of "EXB DEVICE-", and 10 as the IP/Host Name Increment Value, the
program will increment the Host Name to "EXB DEVICE-10" for the next device identified. The next device
identified would be " EXB DEVICE-20", etc.
