Broadcast Addresses; Subnet Addresses; Set The Tcp/Ip Address - Xante ScreenWriter Colour ScreenWriter User Manual

Broadcast Addresses

The server uses a broadcast address to send information to all
workstations on the network. In the absence of subnetting, the
broadcast address is created by using the network ID address octets
and 255 (all 1s) for the host ID octets.
XANTÉ printer default addresses
On a class C network, the broadcast address is 192.9.200.255
On a class B network, the broadcast address is 192.9.255.255
On a class A network, the broadcast address is 192.255.255.255

Subnet Addresses

Subnetting is frequently used to manage the traffic between ports on
a router more efficiently. Subnetworks are created by using part of
the host ID as a subnetwork ID. The balance of the host ID identifies
the individual workstations assigned to the subnetwork.
XANTÉ Command Center (PC) allows you to set subnetting
information using the Advanced button in the TCP/IP Address dialog
box. Check with your System Supervisor for details about your
network's subnet addresses.

Set the TCP/IP Address

Your printer's default TCP/IP address should be changed to agree
with your network's TCP/IP addresses. Change it using XANTÉ
Command Center or the front panel I/F:IP Address menu. Check
with your System Supervisor for the correct TCP/IP address.
See chapter 3 (Macintosh) or 4 (PC) to install and configure
Command Center on your host computer.
Note: If you perform a Level 1 factory reset, the TCP/IP address
reverts to the XANTÉ factory default address.
