Configuration using
ELSA LANconfig
and the wizards
The
ELSA LANconfig
includes a wizard to help you with the required settings:
햲
Connect the unconfigured device to your local network using a network
cable.
햳
Switch the device on. It will not find any other DHCP servers in the net-
work and will thus enable its own DHCP functions.
햴
If you have not done so already, install the TCP/IP protocol on all comput-
ers in the LAN.
Usually when the protocol is installed, the default configuration is
such that the computers are automatically ready to obtain the IP
address from a DHCP server. After rebooting at the end of the proto-
col installation, the computers automatically request an IP address
from the DHCP server.
If the protocol is already installed, enable the DHCP function on all of
the computers in the local network. Under Windows 95, for example,
this is done by selecting
Start
Settings
Control Panel
Net-
work
to open the window for configuring network properties. Dou-
ble-click the entry for the 'TCP/IP' protocol.
Enable the 'Obtain an IP address automatically' option. Switch over
to the 'DNS Configuration' tab and delete all of the existing DNS
addresses. Next, delete any entries under the 'Gateway' tab and click
OK
to close all the windows. This change will require a reboot, after
which the computer will automatically request an IP address from the
DHCP server's address pool.
