PC Configuration
This section explains how to configure your personal computer to work with the gateway.
To access the Internet through the Gigaset Gateway, your PC must be configured to use the TCP/IP protocol
suite over the Internet, and to accept Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol address assignments from the
gateway.
The default network settings for the Gigaset
Gateway are:
IP Address:192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
By default, the gateway will act as a DHCP server, automatically providing a suitable IP address and related
information to each computer when the computer boots up. For all non-server versions of pages, the TCP/IP
setting defaults to act as a DHCP client. (If using the default gateway settings and the default pages TCP/IP
settings, you do not need to make any changes.)
Although these are the default settings for the PC, it is a good idea to verify that they have not been changed.
If TCP/IP is not already installed on your computer, refer to your system documentation or online help for
instructions. Once installed, you should check the TCP/IP protocol settings to make sure they are correct for
use with the gateway.
The instructions to check TCP/IP protocol settings differ between operating system. Check the settings using
the instructions for your operating system:
•
Checking TCP/IP Settings (pages 9x/ME)
•
Checking TCP/IP Settings (pages 2000)
•
Checking TCP/IP Settings (pages XP)
•
Checking TCP/IP Settings (MAC OS 8.6 through 9.x)
