3. Configuring the operating system and computer (Windows®)
After you have successfully installed the network adapter, you still have to install or configure a protocol. This
protocol governs the data exchange between the computer and the network. TCP/IP is most common. Each
computer has to be assigned its own address for the protocol. Automatic address assignment is only reliable
if a DHCP server exists in the network, e.g. a router or access point. If you have one of these devices with a
DHCP function, you should leave the setting on “Get automatically”.
Proceed as follows to check the settings on your PC:
Start -> Settings -> Control panel -> Network connections
Select the connection (network adapter) via which your
PC is connected to the router, e.g. “LAN connection”.
When you
right-click
the corresponding connection, the
following screen is displayed when you select
Properties.
Select the
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
entry in the list and
click
Properties.
