MAC Address
(Read-Only)
See the base physical address of the device.
IP Address
(Modifiable)
See the IP address for the device. To set the IP address, refer to
Section 4.2.1. The IP address can also be set through Runtime IP
Address Discovery.
Runtime IP Address Discovery enables the device to automatically
accept an IP address from a Boot Strap Protocol (BootP) server on the
network without requiring a user to enter an IP address through Local
Management.
Subnet Mask
(Modifiable)
See the subnet mask for the device. A subnet mask “masks out” the
network bits of the IP address by setting the bits in the mask to 1 when
the network treats the corresponding bits in the IP address as part of the
network or subnetwork address, or to 0 if the corresponding bit
identifies the host. When an IP address is entered in the IP Address
field, the Subnet Mask field automatically changes to the default subnet
mask for that IP address. For details about how to change the subnet
mask from its default value, refer to Section 4.2.2.
Default Gateway
(Modifiable)
See the default gateway for the device. This field is not defined until an
appropriate value is entered. For details about why and how to set the
Default Gateway, refer to Section 4.2.3.

Gateway IP address, refer to Section 4.2.4.
