3.2 Part 2 — Configuring Your Computers
Part 2 of the Quick Start Guide provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to
work with the RX3041H.
3.2.1
Before you begin
By default, the RX3041H automatically assigns all required Internet settings to your PCs. You need only to
configure the PCs to accept the information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to configure network settings
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
RX3041H to do so. See “Assigning static IP addresses to your PCs”
in page 13 for instructions.
If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the RX3041H, follow the instructions that correspond to
the operating system installed on your PC.
