from t e local network. To enable remote access from t e internet
click on “3. Setup Remote Access”. If remote access is not required or
desired t en skip step 8.
Determining Static IP Address
A Static IP address needs to meet the following critetia:
The address needs to be unique. No other
devices in the network can have that address. It's onl the last octet (the
number after the last “.”, period) of the address that is unique (e.g.
192.xxx.xxx.UUU).
The last octet cannot be a 0, 1, or 255 (cannot be 192.xxx.xxx.0,
192.xxx.xxx.1, or 192.xxx.xxx.255).
IF DHCP is enabled the address must be outside the DHCP range.
Open our router's administrative interface and check if DHCP is enabled.
If enabled then determine the DHCP range. e.g., if the DHCP server start
numbering computers at 192.168.1.100 and allow 50 IP address, the last
DHCP reserved address will be 192.168.1.149. Some routers displa the
starting and ending address (e.g 192.xxx.xxx.100 to 192.xxx.xxx.149). Stat -
ic IP address can be an address outside this range (number after the last
decimal) but the last number cannot be 0, 1, or 255. e.g., ou can pick
192.xxx.xxx.5, which is outside of the DHCP Range. If DHCP is not enabled
then then all the addresses (2-254) are static address. Pick an unused
static IP address.
