5.3.4 Combination IP-Address and Default Subnet mask
There is a declaration regarding the assignment of IP-address ranges and so-called
“Default Subnet masks”. The first decimal number of the IP-Address (from left)
determines the structure of the Default Subnet mask regarding the number of “1”
values (binary) as follows:
Net address range (dec.)
IP-Address (bin.)
Address
Class

5.3.5 Default Gateway
A default gateway is a node (Router/Gateway) in the EtherNet/IP™ network and
makes possible the access to another network, outside of the EtherNet/IP™ network.
If a Router/Gateway is present in the EtherNet/IP™ network, whose IP address is to
be used.
