LAN Module & Communications
7.6.1.2 Gateway Address
The gateway address, or router, allows communication to other LAN segments. The
gateway address should be the IP address of the router connected to the same LAN seg-
ment as the LAN Module. If a router is not present in the network or if a crossover cable
is being used, then it is recommended to program the IP address of the computer, which
will be controlling the PDU in the gateway address.
Note: The gateway address must be within the local network.
7.6.1.3 Subnet Mask
A netmask defines the number of bits taken from the IP address that are assigned for the
host section.
Note: Class A: 24 bits; Class B; 16 bits; Class C: 8 bits.
The LAN Module prompts for the number of host bits to be entered, then calculates the
netmask, which is displayed in standard decimal-dot notation when the saved parameters
are displayed (for example, 255.255.255.0, which is 8 bits)
7.6.1.4 Telnet Configuration Password
Setting the Telnet configuration password prevents unauthorized access of the setup
menu via a Telnet connection to port 9999. The password is limited to 4 characters. Op-
tion 0 allows the user to change the IP address, enter the Gateway IP address, configure
the netmask and change the telnet configuration password.
