IP Address

The IP Address dialogue box is used when you need to change
the echo sounder's addressing.
Note that this operation is not required on a daily basis. You
only need to modify the address if your echo sounder system
shall be connected to an existing computer network on the
vessel. As long as the ES60 operates as a stand-alone system
using the hardware supplied by Simrad Horten, you will not
need to change anything.
To access this dialogue box, open the Transceiver Installation
dialogue box from the Install menu, select a transceiver, and
click Set new GPT IP Address. The echo sounder will stop
automatically.
If you need to change the address, keep 157 and 237 as the two
first bytes, as these are common for all Simrad Horten
equipment. The two remaining digits can be chosen freely,
provided that no other Simrad Horten equipment with the same
address is connected to the same network. Thus, if you operate
with more than one GPT, these must be set up with different IP
addresses.
Background theory
IP addresses are shown as four decimal integer numbers, where
each integer number corresponds to eight bits (or one byte) of
the address.
An IP address consists of a network address and a host address.
Three address classes are defined:
Class A used on large networks:
0NNNNNNN HHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH
Class B used on medium size networks:
10NNNNNN NNNNNNNN HHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH
Class C used on small networks:
11NNNNNN NNNNNNNN NNNNNNNN HHHHHHHH
