General Configuration Screen
The following briefly explains each General Configuration screen field:
MAC Address (Read-Only)
Displays the physical address of the 2H22-08R.
IP Address (Modifiable)
Displays and allows you to set the IP address for the 2H22-08R. To set the

Subnet Mask (Modifiable)

the network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when
the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the

the host. For details about how to change the Subnet Mask from its default
value, refer to Section 5.7.2.
