Private IP Networks and the Internet

If your network is not and will not be connected to the Internet, you may use any
IP address. If your network is connected or will be connected to the Internet, or if
you intend to operate the unit on an intranet, use one of the reserved sub-
networks. Consult your network administrator with questions about IP address
assignment.
