A.2 - NETWORK OVERVIEW
A.2.1 - Ethernet Addresses
Axel thin clients (like other devices equipped for Ethernet networking) have a unique hardware
address which is issued by the manufacturer and cannot be modified. This address is in the form of
six hexadecimal bytes, separated by colons:
AX3000 Ethernet address format:
00:A0:34:xx:xx:xx
Select the '?' command in the horizontal menu of the AX3000 set-up to see the AX3000 Ethernet
address.
A.2.2 - IP Address
Every device connected to an Ethernet network must have a single 32-bit address which encodes
both the network and the host ID. Internet addresses (sometimes called «IP addresses») are
usually written as four decimal numbers separated by decimal points ('.' character).
There are three main classes of IP address:
7 bits
24 bits
Class A
0
Network
Host
14 bits
16 bits
Class B
1
0
Network
Host
21 bits
8 bits
Class C
1
1
0
Network
Host
Thus every IP address occupies 4 bytes and contains both:
- A network address, and
- A host address.
Note: all devices attached to the same network must have the same class and the same network
address. Each must have a different host address.
For example: an AX3000 connected, over a network, to a host with an IP address 192.1.168.40
(class C: three bytes for the Network address) must have the three first bytes of its address set to
192.1.168. The fourth byte cannot be equal to 40.
A.2.3 - Router
Depending on the network topology, the AX3000 and the host may be installed on different physical
networks and linked through one or several routers.
Two types of router can be used to access remote networks:
- A default router: this router knows how to reach many remote networks.
- Specific routers: in charge of one remote network.
