what protocol you chose above. Click on the protocol link to see the next wizard screen for 
that protocol. 
3.6  IP Address and Subnet Mask 
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one 
common network number. 
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network 
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP 
addresses and the subnet mask. 
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account 
and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is 
recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the 
Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Prestige. The Internet Assigned Number Authority 
(IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for private use; please do not use any other number 
unless you are told otherwise. Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254 
individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are reserved). In other words, the first 
three numbers specify the network number while the last number identifies an individual computer on that 
network. 
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to remember, for instance, 
192.168.1.1, for your Prestige, 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 Prestige 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 Prestige unless you are instructed to do otherwise. 
3.7  IP Address Assignment 
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different 
one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either a dynamic or 
static IP. However the encapsulation method assigned influences your choices for IP address and ENET 
ENCAP Gateway.
