6910 Integrated and 6910 Telnet Gateway/Access Points Menu System Technical Documentation
Note: If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and DHCP is enabled, this IP address
is obtained through DHCP. If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and DHCP is
disabled, TCP/IP access to this 6710 Mobile Bridge is disabled.
S IP Subnet Mask:
IP subnets partition traffic and are connected by routers. The subnet
mask indicates how many bits of the IP address represent a network
number and how many indicate a host number. The prompt is 0–255 for
each number, with 255.255.255.0 as the default.
Following are suggestions for setting the subnet mask:
S If you are installing this 6710 Mobile Bridge or 6710 Access Point on
an existing Ethernet segment, the subnet mask should match the oth-
er computers on the segment.
S If you are using the 172.16.h.h address suggested for IP Address, you
may want to use a subnet mask of 255.255.248.0. This mask pro-
vides the network 172.16 with 30 subnets of 2046 computers each.
The IP address breakdown is:
S 16 bits of network address.
S 5 bits of subnet address. Do not use all 0's or all 1's.
S 11 bits of host address. Do not use all 0's or all 1's.
The following chart lists IP addresses when the submask is
255.255.248.0. If you are using DHCP to obtain an IP subnet mask for
this 6710 Mobile Bridge or 6710 Access Point, the subnet mask ob-
tained from DHCP overrides the setting for the IP Subnet Mask op-
tion.

Note: The IP address of the router is required only if this 6710 Mobile
Bridge or 6710 Access Point will communicate with devices on the oth-
er side of the router.
