Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
TCP/IP network settings
•
Internet Access configuration
•
Printer installation
•
Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:
•
Internet access via the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router
•
Sharing the Printer connected to the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions,
so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router settings, and
the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, auto-
matically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the
PC boots.
•
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-
quired:
•
The
Gateway
must be set to the IP address of the LevelOne Wireless Broadband Router
•
The
DNS
should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to
Chapter 8 - Advanced
Setup
for details.
