Management Computer Setup
This chapter describes how to prepare your computer to access the G-570U web configurator.
2.1 Introduction
You can connect a computer to the G-570U for management purposes either using an Ethernet
connection (recommended for a first time management session) or wirelessly.
2.2 Wired Connection
You must prepare your computer/computer network to connect to the G-570U if you are using
a wired connection. Your computer's IP address and subnet mask must be on the same subnet
as the G-570U. This can be done by setting up your computer's IP address.
The following figure shows you an example of accessing your G-570U via a wired connection
with an Ethernet cable.

2.2.1 Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address
Note: Skip this section if your computer's IP address is already between 192.168.1.3
and 192.168.1.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Your computer must have a network card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be
installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating
systems. Refer to the appendix about setting up your computer's IP address for other operating
systems.
