includes “192.168.2.XXX”, and therefore is considered none to be in the same network. There is no problem if the network interface contains only one IP address range,
but if you want to assign other IP addresses like “192.168.2.X” to the LAN, then there is an issue. “192.168.2.X” and “172.16.2.XXX” are not in the same network. We need IP Aliasing to resolve this issue.
IP Alias allows one network interface to contain more than one network. It allows the additional network “172.16.2.XXX” to be recognized by the BOSS™.
Please follow the steps to add another network:
1.Enter “172.16.2.1” in IP Alias 1.
2.Enter “255.255.255.0” in Netmask of IP Alias 1.
3.Click the Apply button.
