connected to the ADE-4200/ADW-4200 either directly or through an external repeater
hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP
server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet of the ADE-4200/ADW-
4200. The default IP address of the ADE-4200/ADW-4200 is 192.168.1.254 and subnet
