52 Chapter 5 System Screen

If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single

user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is

established. The Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses

specifically for private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise.

Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 individual

addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the

first three numbers (in this case, 192, 168 and 1) specify the network number while the last

number identifies an individual computer on that network.

Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember,

for instance, 192.168.1.2, for your device, but make sure that no other device on your network

is using that IP address.

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your device will

compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't

need to change the subnet mask computed by the device unless you are instructed to do

otherwise.
