Part 2 — Configuring Your Computers
Part 2 of the Quick Start provides instructions for configuring the
Internet settings on your computers to work with the VisionNet
202ER.
Before you begin
By default, the VisionNet 202ER automatically assigns all required
Internet settings to your PCs. You need only to configure the PCs to
accept the information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
VisionNet 202ER to do so. See “Assigning static Internet
information to your PCs” on page 22 for instructions.
If you have connected your PC of LAN via Ethernet to the
VisionNet 202ER, follow the instructions that correspond to
