14 Before You Begin

Collecting Ethernet Setup Information

• Ethernet Interface - The first step is to determine the type of

Ethernet interface you will be using on the Prestige. There are

two options: AUI or UTP. Record the interface type onto the

worksheet. If you have a 10Base2 (BNC), you should choose

AUI.

• IP Address - An IP Address is required for TCP/IP protocol.

The IP Address is the unique 32-bit number assigned to your

Prestige. This address is written in dotted decimal notation

(four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods),

e.g., 192.68.203.5.

Record the IP Address into the worksheet as assigned by your

network administrator. Please note that every machine on an

internet must have a unique IP address - do not assign an

arbitrary address to any machine.

• IP Sub-net Mask - This field is required for TCP/IP protocol.

An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the

host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID

portion of the address, expressed in dotted decimal notation.

The Prestige will automatically calculate this mask based on the

IP address that you assign. Unless you have special need for

subnetting, use the default mask as calculated by the Prestige.

The table below lists some examples of IP subnet masks and

the number of hosts that are allowed. Consult your network

administrator if you are unsure of this value.

IP Subnet Mask Number of Host ID’s Number of Bits

255.255.255.0 254 24

255.255.255.128 126 25

255.255.255.192 62 26

1 2 ... 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 ... 129 130
