Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 192.168.1.2, for your ZyAIR, but make sure that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your ZyAIR will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed by the ZyAIR unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
