Network IX network. The example below shows an acceptable and an
unacceptable address.

Browser Server 151.1.2.2
Netmask 255.255.255.0
The variable netmask capability of the Solar 9500 allows for an advanced
network with intelligent routers. Typically for the Unity Network MC
network the netmask should be 255.0.0.0. For the Unity Network IX
network the netmask should be set to match the rules for subnet
segments as defined by the institution's network topology.
