The Calculator button displays on windows in which IP ranges are entered. These windows include: Block Page Route Table window from the System section, and Range to Detect and Members windows from the Group section.

• If the IP address field in the window on the console is already populated, note the IP Calculator pop-up window displays the IP address, default Netmask in both the Dotted Decimals Notation (e.g. “255.255.255.248”) and CIDR Notation (e.g. “29”) format, Min Host, and Max Host IP addresses.
