Screen Changes In Release 8, the following changes have been made to screens related to IP networks.
Ethernet Data Module screen
The ethernet Data Module screen is changed in Release 8.
1 The following fields have been removed from the ethernet Data Module screen:
• Broadcast Address
• Automatic Subnet Routing
The Broadcast Address field previously enabled you to specify that broadcast
messages are to be sent to a subset of the host’s subnet. Now, broadcast
messages are always sent to the host’s full subnet.
The Automatic Subnet Routing field previously enabled you to disable
automatic subnet routing. Now, automatic subnet routing is always enabled.
2 The following fields have been moved from the ethernet Data Module screen to
the new IP Interfaces screen:
• Enable Link?
• Node Name
• Subnet Mask
3 The following field is added to the ethernet Data Module screen:
• Network uses 1’s for broadcast addresses?
This field enables you to accommodate systems on your network that use the
older method of putting 0’s instead of 1’s in the host portion of a broadcast
address.
