Page 22: Connecting To The Network
With the initial structure in place, the workstation can now be connected to the Network to check that monitors are live and have a feed. This requires an IP address be set for the Pick-a-Point workstation. A suitable IP address should be obtained from the IT department prior to beginning this task. - Page 23 Click on ‘Exit -> Restart CPU’. Select ‘Yes’ on the following dialog box to confirm restart. Note: The workstation needs to be restarted to register the new IP address. If DHCP is to be used, this step is not required. However, If DHCP is left on, the workstation will not receive Alarms. Log off and log in with an Engineering password.

Page 24: Ip Address Range And Subnets
IP Address Range and Subnets IP Address and Subnet Masks An IP address is a 32 bit address that is read by the network devices (switches, hubs, routers) in a binary format, however to make life simpler for Network Administrator, IP addresses are displayed in a decimal format. The same applies to subnet masks which are 32 bit addresses identified by the network devices in binary format, but written in a decimal format. -
Page 25: Class B
Class B A Class B network can be seen as being a medium sized network offering more network ID’s than a Class A but less host ID’s. The subnet ‘masks’ out the network portion of the IP address. Class B Address Range Subnet Mask Alternative Format 128.1.x.x... - Page 26 Class A table The table below shows the address ranges for a Class A network. To identify the correct information, locate the Host address that best fits your requirements and enter the IP address and subnet or the IP address and number of bits in the Firewall option (10.1.1.1/10).
