LAN (your IP address, Subnet mask, and IP address of your router)
- Make sure you write down your IP address, your network mask and your
default gateway (router address) so you can reference them later.
1-4. Compare your IP address (pictured above) with the IP address of your SIM intercom (pictured below).
If the first three octets (192.168.1.x) of your computer match the first three octets (192.168.1.x) of
your SIM intercom you can proceed to step 4. If they don't match, you can refer to the “changing
