Hi,

So just for completeness - the box does support a default gateway and it =
was pretty simple to figure out once we were able to connect to it over =
the Web UI.  The professional services tech who installed this stuff =
basically copied data off of a spreadsheet and didn't really have any =
notion of how the thing really worked so he didn't really have any =
answers.
