Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Inter-
nal") LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
TCP/IP network settings
•
Internet Access configuration
•
Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the
ADE-4301/ADW-4301.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The ADE-4301/ADW-4301 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 ADE-4301/ADW-4301 settings, and the default Win-
dows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the ADE-4301/ADW-4301 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically
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 ADE-4301/ADW-4301
•
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.
