IP Address and Domain Name formats
IPv4 Address Format
IPv4 addresses are in ASCII decimal format, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 0 to 255). The four octets
(xxx) of the address are separated by periods.
Correct: 12.3.145.251
Incorrect: C.17.91.FB
IPv6 Address Format
IPv6 addresses consist of eight groups of 4 hexadecimal digits separated by colons,
xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx, x = 0 to F.
Fully Qualified Domain Name Format
The fully qualified domain name defines the exact address of a device in the Domain Name
System (DNS) hierarchy. This includes the unique hostname of the device and the subnet on
which the device is located, separated by periods.
Example: receiver01.your-alarm-company.com
Each label within the name must comply with RFC-921, "Domain Name System
Implementation Schedule".
Only the letters (A-Z), numbers (0-9), and the minus sign (-) are allowed in the text labels in
the fully qualified domain name.
The period (.) is only allowed to delimit text labels that comprise the fully qualified domain
name.
Before entering a fully qualified domain name, be sure the device being addressed has its
name properly registered with the DNS servers available to the IP communicator. This can be
verified using a ping tool.
