Figure 2-8 IP address and subnet mask
If your computer’s subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, such a setting is called
a Class C subnet mask, and your machine can only communicate with another
network device that has the same first three bytes of its IP address..
Note: The numbers between IP address data points are called bytes.
You can refer to the following two situations:
(1) Class C subnet mask
If your computer has a class C subnet mask and the IP address is 192.168.0.20,
then it can communicate with the device whose IP address is 192.168.0.40, but cannot
communicate with the device whose IP address is 192.168.1.40.
(2) Class B subnet mask
If you change your subnet mask to 255.255.0.0, such a setting is called a class B
subnet mask, then your device can communicate with any device with the same first 2
bytes of the subnet mask.
Step 3: Set the appropriate network properties on your computer
Set the drive's two rotary DIP switches to 0 and the IP address to 10.10.10.10.
(1) In Windows XP, right-click "My Network" and select "Properties". Windows 7,
