IP Addresses 

The IP address is the address of a computer or router node on a network.
This address identifies both the network's address and the node's address
on that network.

Predictive Gateway Node 

Two IP addresses must be configured on the Predictive Gateway Node.  One
IP address identifies the Predictive Gateway Node as the gateway node to
the X.25 network and another IP address identifies it as the gateway node
to the customer's LAN network.  In our example, the address identifying
the Predictive Gateway Node as a gateway to the X.25 network is B 122.222
222.100, and the address identifying the Predictive Gateway Node as a
gateway to the LAN network is A 111 111.111.222.  Thus, the Predictive
Gateway Node is a node that belongs to two different networks.

An X.25 Network IP address is also configured on the HP Response Center
Node in order to identify it as a node on the X.25 network.  In our
example, the X.25 Network IP address for the HP Response Center Node is B
122.222 222.050.  Note that the network portion of both the Predictive
Gateway Node's X.25 Network IP address and the HP Response Center Node's
X.25 Network IP address is B 122.222 in order for communication to occur
between the two nodes.

Satellite Node(s) 

In our example, the LAN network consists of three Satellite Nodes
connected to the Predictive Gateway Node via LAN. Each node on the LAN
network must have an IP address that identifies it as a satellite or
remote node on the customer's LAN network:

   *   Satellite Node 1:  A 111 111.111.201

   *   Satellite Node 2:  A 111 111.111.202

   *   Satellite Node 3:  A 111 111.111.203

For our example, the IP address A 111 111.111.201 must be configured on
Satellite Node 1, IP address A 111 111.111.202 on Satellite Node 2, and
IP address A 111 111.111.203 on Satellite Node 3.
