At page 5, paragraph 14, lines 4 through 7, Appellant’s
specification states the following:
The ROM 110 in Figures 1-2 or the ROM 314 contains

netmask, the gateway, domain and nameserver
information for the server 118. [Emphasis added].
2. At column 5, lines 20 through 26, Kamper states the

With the present invention, the same
removable storage device reader may be used to
configure a plurality of servers. That is, the
