Chapter 5: Macintosh Setup
This chapter provides information on using Macintosh computers in your
network. The instructions given here are for system software version 8.0 or
above, which comes with the TCP/IP Protocol preloaded and supports DHCP
Addressing.
5-1 Hardware Connections
Connect your Macintosh computer to your BLW-04G. If you have a newer
computer, there will be a Ethernet port on the back. Older computers will need
to have an Ethernet card installed. See your computer’s User’s Manual for
instructions on Ethernet card installation.
5-2 Computer Network Configuration
It is assumed that your computer’s system software already has TCP/IP
installed. You may manually configure your computer with a fixed IP Address
or have an IP Address dynamically assigned to it by the BLW-04G’s DHCP
server.
