Getting Connected
Now that you have made all the physical connections, you need to establish
communication between the router and the PC you will use to configure the
router. This chapter describes how to:
■
Configure the first PC connected to the router.
■
Install the support software from the CD-ROM onto the PC.
■
Establish communication between the PC and the router using the AR100
Access Wizard
■
Configure any additional PCs connected to the router. This is easily done
as soon as you have initialised the router, or at any time in the future if you
want to add more PCs.
Configuring your PC
Before you can establish communication with the router your PC must have
TCP/IP installed and configured, as this is the protocol used to communicate
with the router.
Installing TCP/IP on your PC
The first thing to check is that TCP/IP is installed on your PC. The files needed
to install TCP/IP are included in Windows 95, 98 and 2000. The dialogs for
Windows 2000 differ slightly from those shown here for Windows 95 and 98.
If TCP/IP is already installed, go to “Installing support software” on page 3-7.
