Manually configuring clients with Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems
The Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems are very similar in
the way they implement networking. They differ from the Windows 95, 98, and Me
operating systems in that they require a user to log in. Also, all setup and configuration
must be performed by an administrator level user.
This section explains how to configure clients with the Windows 95, Windows
98, or
Windows
Me operating systems to run with the Magnia SG20.
To access the Magnia SG20, you need to configure:
❖
The network card
❖
Network settings
❖
Web browser
Have your original operating system installation CD available. Many of the settings
require this CD to complete the configuration.
Many of the settings require your original installation CD for the operating system. Make
sure that you are logged into the client computer as a system administrator before you
begin.
Determining if your system has a network interface card (NIC)
If the client computer has no NIC, the first step is to install one. You need to have ready
both the driver disk that came with the card and your Windows

disk.
NOTE: Be aware that an administrative user on the client computer may not be an
administrator on the Magnia SG20. Both computers maintain their own user lists.
NOTE: Some of the steps may require restarting the client computer. Therefore,
before starting the configuration, shut down any other software that is currently
running to avoid conflicts or loss of data.
