Setting Up Internet Access
After installing the SVG1501, check that you can connect to the Internet. You can
retrieve an IP address for your computer’s network interface using one of the following
options:
•
Retrieve the statically-defined IP address and DNS address
•
Automatically retrieve the IP address using the Network DHCP server
The Motorola SVG1501 Wireless Voice Gateway provides a DHCP server on its LAN.
Motorola recommends that you configure your LAN to obtain the IPs for the LAN and
DNS server automatically.
Make sure all computers on your LAN are configured for TCP/IP. After configuring TCP/IP
on your computer, you should verify the IP address.
Note
: For UNIX or Linux systems, follow the instructions in the
applicable user documentation.
