IPAddress()

Description

Defines an IP address. It can be used to declare both local and remote addresses.

Syntax

IPAddress(address);

Parameters

address: a comma delimited list representing the address (4 bytes, ex. 192, 168, 1, 1)

Returns

None

Example

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h> // network configuration. dns server, gateway and subnet are optional.  // the media access control (ethernet hardware) address for the shield:
byte mac[ ] = { 0xDE , 0xAD , 0xBE , 0xEF , 0xFE , 0xED } ;   // the dns server ip
IPAddress dnServer( 192 , 168 , 0 , 1 ) ;
// the router's gateway address:
IPAddress gateway( 192 , 168 , 0 , 1 ) ;
// the subnet:
IPAddress subnet( 255 , 255 , 255 , 0 ) ; //the IP address is dependent on your network
IPAddress ip( 192 , 168 , 0 , 2 ) ; void setup ( ) {
  Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ;   // initialize the ethernet device
  Ethernet.begin (mac, ip, dnServer, gateway, subnet) ;
  //print out the IP address
  Serial.print ( "IP = " ) ;
  Serial.println (Ethernet.localIP ( ) ) ;
} void loop ( ) {
