   • NOTE: The following is provided as an example only but would apply in a county using a Netgear or DSL connection. If you have more than one printer to configure, reduce the IP address number by one. Examples: 192.168.1.252, 192.168.1.251, etc. The Subnet Mask and Gateway would stay the same.
   Non-Server County IP address: 192.168.1.253 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Server County IP address: 192.168.14.10 (See note) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.14.1 (See note)
   • Note: Server counties will have specific numbers for their county. At the time of server installation, you will be given your network numbers. Please refer to them when you are assigning IP addresses to your printers. The range of numbers for your printers will begin at .10. Example: 192.168.14.10, the 2nd printer will be 192.168.14.11 and so on for other printers.
