Chapter 4: PC Configuration

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

• TCP/IP network settings

• Internet Access configuration

• Wireless configuration

Windows Clients

• This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the

Wireless Device.

• The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

• The Wireless Device uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential

that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using default Wireless Device settings, and default Windows TCP/IP

settings, no changes need to be made.

• By default, the Wireless Device will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a

suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP

client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are

required:

• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Device.

• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
