It doesn't have to be the same.

You will need to allocate a static IP for the AMT controller.  It's what I do 
and I think what any sane Orange Box user does.

There is a solution that we can do that uses the MAC only which relies on the 
arp cache to get the IP out.  However the cache needs properly priming first 
and that work is not yet done as it's a little involved.
