Subnet Mask & TCP/IP addresses
The Subnet Mask is a number that defines a group of
computers (or Icons/Mainframes) connected to the network.
All units in the group must have the same Subnet Mask.
The System 6000 Subnet Mask is by default 255.255.255.0
The TCP/IP address is unique to each unit connected in the
network. An IP address consists of 4 numbers separated by

same for each unit, but no two units in the subnet can have
the same the last number.
The TC Icon default address is : 192.168.1.125
The M6000 default address is : 192.168.1.xx

Mainframes serial number. This way multiple System 6000
Mainframes can be setup directly out of the box without
changing the IP numbers.
If your computer’s IP address (or any in the network) is one
of the above you have two options. Either to alter the three
last number in your computer’s IP address or to alter the
last number in the TC Icon and Mainframe IP addresses.
Setting Subnet Mask & TCP/IP
Setting the Subnet and TCP/IP on System 6000 Mainframe
is done via the TC Icon page: frame/system/main/net
Setting TCP/IP on TC Icon Remote CPU MKII is done on
via the Setup/Net page.

all networks.
There is a small risk that two frames have the same
last 2 digits in the serial number and thus will
conflict after a reset. Solution: - reset one frame and
change its IP address before connecting the
second.
Setting Subnet Mask & TCP/IP on a PC
To find the TCP/IP address and the Subnet Mask settings
on your computer running Windows:
Example - Windows XP
Go to Control Panel, Network Connections, Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)
