How to allocate network addresses
The following applies to units in networks operating with the TCP/IP standard: All units must have a unique name and a unique IP address. Here is an example of addresses in network Class C.
|
Unit |
Computer name |
Description |
IP address |
Subnet |
Server |
Selan-Id |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
M1 pattern |
STOLL-1711 |
New pattern unit |
172.29.1.51 |
255.255.0.0 |
For the pattern and MC operating systems |
No |
|
CMS3300TC |
CMS3300TC002 |
Room 1, left |
172.29.1.52 |
255.255.0.0 |
Client |
0002 |
|
CMS3300TC |
CMS3300TC003 |
Room 1, right |
172.29.1.53 |
255.255.0.0 |
Client |
0003 |
|
Stoll knit report |
PC-BDE-255 |
PC for analysis of operational and machine data |
172.29.1.54 |
255.255.0.0 |
Stoll knit report Server |
No |
|
SIRIX |
SIRIX01 |
Pattern unit |
172.29.1.55 |
255.255.0.0 |
|
No |
|
COM server |
|
Bridge from Ethernet to Selan network |
172.29.1.60 |
255.255.0.0 |
|
No |
How to create a list of names and IP addresses:
- 1
- Before entering addresses in the units that are to be networked, create aSummary table as per the example above.
- 2
- List all machines, pattern units and PCs that are to be networked.
- 3
- Enter a unique name for each unit, e.g. machine type and a consecutive number: CMS330TC001.
- 4
- Enter a short description, e.g. special features of a machine, installation site, other characteristics.
- 5
- How to enter IP addresses
Ex: 172.29.1.51
The address area for IP addresses for Intranets is governed by the RFC 1597 standard, which is
summarized below:
|
Network classe |
IP addresses from |
to |
Subnet mask |
Number of units in the subnet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Class B |
172.16.0.1 |
172.31.255.254 |
255.255.0.0 |
max. 64.516 |
|
Class C |
192.168.0.3 |
192.168.255.254 |
255.255.255.0 |
max. 254 |
Use IP addresses of Class B.
The first figures of the IP address up to the second dot have to be the same for all units within the network.
Ex: 172.29.xxx.xxx
- 6
- Configuring a unit as a server The machines and pattern units have access to the data on this unit. It is recommended that the pattern unit or analysis computer (Stoll knit report) used as a server have the equivalent amount of memory capacity.
