Network Names and IP Addresses
When all devices have been installed, interconnected, and turned on, the next step is to
identify their names and locations on the Network. A variety of names and location
identifiers are used for this purpose. The names and addresses for each Network device --
Switches, Information Centers, Clients, and Printers -- must be unique so they can be
properly located by the Database Server and other Network devices.
IP Address Internet Protocol (IP) Address is a 32 bit binary number that uniquely identifies the device
on the Network. The IP Address is generally in dotted decimal format, which consists of 4
sets of numbers separated by dots, e.g. 172.31.252.1. Part of the IP Address identifies the
network and part identifies the device.
For the M3185 Clinical Network, a range of possible IP addresses has been set for each type
of Network device. If separate systems are being installed today with an expectation of
connecting them in the future, do not use the same names or IP addresses. This will save
time later when they are connected together. The IP Address ranges are given in Table 5-1.
Warning IP Addresses outside the ranges given in Table 5-1 have not been tested by Philips and
are not supported by Philips software.
