Standard subnet mask
Address class Standard subnet mask (decimal) Standard subnet mask (hex)
A 255.0.0.0 FF.00.00.00
B 255.255.0.0 FF.FF.00.00
C 255.255.255.0 FF.FF.FF.00
Subnets and host number
Neither subnet 0 nor the subnet consisting only of ones may be used. Neither host number 0 nor
the host number consisting only of ones may be used!
If the IP address is set using the KS2000 configuration software, it is necessary for the subnet mask
also to be changed with the KS2000 configuration software.
If ARP addressing is used, the associated standard subnet mask, based on the IP address, is en-
tered.
Under BootP or DHCP the subnet mask is transmitted also by the server.
4.4.6 Testing the IP address
To test the IP address you can use the Ping command in a Windows prompt.

4.4.7 Reading the MAC-ID
Proceed as follows to read the MAC-ID.
• Change the IP address on your PC to 172.16.x.x and the Subnet mask to 255.255.0.0
The IP address when supplied by the manufacturer on the BC9000 and BK9000 is 172.16.17.255 (DIP
switches 1 to 8 are set to ON).
The IP address of the IP67 Fieldbus Boxes are set to 172.16.18.(rotary switch setting).
• Start the DOS Window
• Send a Ping to IP address 172.16.17.xxx
• Read the MAC-ID with arp -a.
