Chapter 4 Custom Setup
Setting the IP Address Range
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique IP address between 192.168.0.4 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the network. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical; this means they are on the same subnet. The IP address of the Modem must be on the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the Modems’s IP address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning IP address to 10.33.222.4, and the ending IP address to 10.33.222.254.
