15.1 Allocating an IP Address in a Local Network
You select a static IP address (Internet Protocol). Use the address range which is available to your
router. In most cases the address range of the router lies between 192.168.0.1. and
192.168.255.254. If necessary refer to the manual of your router.
Please note during the allocation of the IP address that the first three address parts of the IP address
must be identical for all participants of the same network. You may not allocate the same IP address
twice.
