An install of one of these files is
required during the configuration
process of your router installation.
Follow these steps:
1. Please visit the software
download section of
http://
www.boschdiagnostics.com
2. Select NETGEAR Router from
the menu
3. Download the NETGER
configuration files applicable to
your router version
4. Save these files to your PC
(Desktop or My Documents)
Later, during installation, you will
be prompted to browse to these
files and select the appropriate
configuration file for your router.
Step A - Pre-qualifying your
existing setup
The first and most important
criteria is:
Is your network using Dynamic
IP addressing, or Static IP
addresses?
IP Address:
An IP address is
a device’s electronic “street
address” on a network. Every
device on a network must have
an IP address, this includes
computers, routers, network
printers, etc.
There are two methods by which
every device on a network
receives its IP address:
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP)
is
the most common. A single device
on the network (usually a router)
assigns IP addresses to each new
device that is detected on the
network. This device is called a
DHCP Server.
Static IP networks
do not use
a DHCP server, all IP addresses
are manually assigned at each
device by a network administrator.
Because we can not predict
the specific IP address range
assigned, the configurations
outlined in this guide require
additional steps for networks
using Static IP addressing.
The M-VCI will still function on
these networks, but the set
up must be a manual process
that is specific to your network
configuration.
The first step in this process will
determine if your network uses
Static or Dynamic IP addressing.
Refer to Appendix A for additional
information.
