I know that I can (working) send it something like:
23 and if the pointer is set to ... say.... position 5 (room to show all digits) I will see 23 on the display.
I can send it 1234567 and I will see those numbers on the display.
I don't need to send them individually.
But that is a whole other story. Though I could cut up the IP address into ever increasing numbers and send them that way.
But I think that would be just as complicated as this way with it's own set of problems.
