IP address
Every host (workstation or node) on an IP network requires a unique IP address for each network
interface. This address is a software address that is used to identify both the network and specific
hosts located on that network. Each IP address can be divided into two separate parts: the network
portion and the host portion. It is possible for a host to query a server for a dynamic IP address each
time the all-in-one boots up (for example, using DHCP and BOOTP).
NOTE
When assigning IP addresses, always consult the IP address administrator. Setting
the wrong address can disable other equipment operating on the network or interfere with
communications.
