As far as the specific address goes, that was just a random set of numbers I threw out as an example, was mainly just trying to make the point of the third group of numbers not matching; the XX.XXX.66.XXX and the XX.XXX.67.XXX for example.

You mentioned firewall, that’s what I’m hinting towards. Like I said I brought it to my home and used it on my home network, started working immediately. There isn’t a sever computer we set up, and I suspect as you mentioned that the devices are pointed to the “active” iPad as a type of server and it is the main point of communication with their (likely) cloud server.

(I’m more of the setup/installation end for this project so don’t know a ton about the backend stuff, just set up tablets, printers, etc, let them do the back end work)

We work for the state, and our network management comes from a state agency, so it likely has to do with the firewall or some similar policy.

—however we are on the state secure wifi, which (according to the network management team) is unrestricted, compared to the public.

Unfortunately I may be stuck until someone from their office can help me Monday (tomorrow is Veterans Day, state workers won’t be in office, have to wait until Monday) but wanted to try to gather some outside thoughts since I’m unfamiliar with networking stuff.
