| Q |
What is an IP address?
|
| A |
An IP address is a unique string of numbers separated by full stops that individually identifies computers and related equipment to allow communication over a network. For lasertag purposes, the IP addresses of computers, peripherals and devices are set as “static” meaning they are purposefully configured to be a specific set of chosen numbers. Doing this provides for easy setup and installation as well as allowing support personnel and technicians to do simple fault finding as and if required.

| Q |
What is the IP address of my base (outpost)?
|
| A |
Early versions of the base (also known as an “outpost”), were set to 192.168.2.10, 192.168.2.11, 192.168.2.12, and so on. The IP addresses were changed in the next versions of the base to be 192.168.2.100, 192.168.2.101, 192.168.2.102, and so on. The latest versions of the Zone’s game units, when first powered on, will verbally announce the unit’s IP address. As an example, for a base, you might hear the unit say “One nine two dot one six eight dot two dot one-hundred” (or whatever the specific unit’s applicable IP address is) when the unit is first powered on.
