Beginning IP Address
This is the IP address at which the $(#0server starts assigning IP addresses. We
recommend keeping the factory default setting (192.168.1.64).
Ending IP Address
This is the IP address at which the $(#0server stops assigning IP addresses. We
recommend keeping the factory default settings (192.168.1.254).
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the
Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.254 to each computer on the net-
work. 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 Gateway must
be on the same subnet as the IPADDRESSRANGEITGENERATES&ORINSTANCEIFTHE
Gateway’s IP address is changed to .222.1, set the beginning IP address to
