96 Remote Command Set
NETMASK
Description Network mask address set.
Syntax NETMASK address
Remarks This command is used to set the controller’s network mask address. In order for this
setting to take effect, please set the controller to Static IP mode, save this parameter in the
controller’s non-volatile memory, and reset the controller.
A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets and specify the
networks available hosts. In a netmask, two bits are always automatically assigned. For
example, in 255.255.225.0, "0" is the assigned network address; and in 255.255.255.255,
"255" is the assigned broadcast address. The 0 and 255 are always assigned and cannot be
used.
NOTE: Send this command via USB interface as Ethernet communication may
become unstable during Ethernet settings configuration. While connected via USB,
use the Picomotor application software to send commands (Go to ‘Terminal’ tab).
