IP address assignment
Both Connext, Compass and FS Performance projects use fixed IP addresses. When assigning IP
addresses, use the following rules and format:
• For a class B network with an address space of 65535 addresses, for instance, choose the address
range 172.17.16.X. The network mask will be 255.255.240.0.
• Use the same range for each greenhouse. For instance:
• Greenhouse 1 – 172.17.16.1 to 172.17.16.255
• Greenhouse 2 – 172.17.17.1 to 172.17.17.255
• Group system components per function.
• Record the used IP addresses in FDCT (also FS Performance projects) and on a plan.
