Machine IP address
Each machine in a network must have a unique IP address. The IP address is used by the
TCP/IP protocol to identify the source and destination of data packets.
The machines are manufactured with unique IP addresses which only need to be
changed if the IM series network is to be integrated with an existing Ethernet network.
The IP address of the machine consists of two parts.
• The network address
• The network address must be the same as all the other machines on the same
network.
• The machine address.
The machine address must be different from the other machines on the same
network
The network address depends on which sub-net mask is used, for example for an IP
address of 88.1.1.7:
Sub-net mask
Network address
Machine address
Sub-net mask
The sub-net mask allows you to split a large physical network into smaller logical
networks.
Please remember .....
If a machine is being added to an existing network and you need to change the IP address
and sub-net mask, the network address and the subnet mask must match the existing
network. For further information contact Avery Berkel.
Host name
This only applies to machines on networks with DHCP enabled. The host name enables
the machine to be identified even if the IP address has changed. The name can have up
to 100 characters in either a fixed or variable string. You can include the following codes
in the string:
%%NTID or %%+8.2%%network ID (2two digits)
%%MCID or %%+8.1%%machine ID (2two digits)
The default host name text is:
Avery.Berkel.GM.NetId.%%NTID.McId%%MCID
