The optimum location for the peg is clipped to the network cable near the NIC of the device needing an IP-number allocated. This ensures a clear visual connection between the device and the IP-number allocated and makes it an easy task to see which IP-number is allocated.

Transfer of the IP information from the peg and the additional vendorfield paper note to the settings in the IP stack is done by human transfer. A person reads the information from the peg and from the additional information and enters this in the configuration of the used IP stack. This transfer is not completely free of corruption of the information or loss of the information contained on the peg.

A certain amount of knowledge of the logic of IP settings is also assumed on the part of the person transferring the information.

Other information on the vendorfield paper note has to be transferred to the settings within specific application programs.
