Qube 2 requirements
To use the Qube 2, you need:
• A 10/100BaseTX Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) -based local area network (LAN).
• A personal computer (attached to the network) that uses a Web
browser (Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer,
versions 4.0 or later).
• Network parameters, which you can obtain from your system or
network administrator; these include the Qube 2’s assigned
IP address, the subnet mask of your network and, if communicating
with other networks, a gateway/router address.
Note: If you intend to set up the Qube 2 to obtain its network
parameters from a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
server, you do not need to obtain this information from the
network administrator. For more information, see “Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server” on page 47.
• An Internet service provider, if you plan to connect to the Internet.
