Default Setting: 000.000.000.000
Specifies the internet protocol address needed to access the EDL.
H IP Address does not appear if EDL Management Link is set to Disable.
000.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Enter the IP address for the EDL. The first digit
(i.e.,
xxx
.255.255.255) cannot be 0 or 127, or greater than 223. However,
000.000.000.000 is valid, representing a null address.
Clear – Clears the IP address and fills the address with zeros (i.e., 000.000.000.000).
Subnet Mask

000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Enter the subnet mask for the EDL. Subnet Mask
is based on the class of the IP address: Class A: 255.000.000.000,
Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000.

None – Does not use routing information protocol. Use this setting when the device at
the other end of the management link cannot accept routing information.
Proprietary – Uses a proprietary variant of RIP version 1 to communicate routing
information between devices.
