192.168.1.100. Assign the NetGuardian an IP address and subnet mask on your network.
5. Change your computer's IP address and subnet mask back to their original settings.
Once the IP Address and Subnet Mask of your computer coincide with the NetGuardian's, you can configure the
NetGuardian via T/NG216 by using the NetGuardian's default IP Address of 192.168.1.100. After you have
provisioned the NetGuardian with the appropriate information, change your computer's IP Address and Subnet
Mask back to their original settings.
