If you are connecting multiple computers (or a single
computer) plug all the computers, including the S-Box, into the
switch or hub using standard Ethernet cables.
OR
Fitting the S-Box into an
existing network
If there is a network
already set up, you can
change the network
settings of the S-Box to fit
in with the existing
computers. See Section
4.1 of the Owner’s
Handbook. We advise,
however, that you keep
the existing settings and
use the S-Box as your
DHCP server.
1.
If you are using a wireless
access point instead of a switch:
►
Connect a computer to one of
the access point’s LAN ports
using a network cable and
ensure that the S-Box is not
connected to the LAN
►
Make sure your computer is
set to receive an IP address
from the access point using
DHCP.
►
Log in to the access point’s
configuration interface.
►
Many wireless access points are routers as well. If yours is
a router, you will need to disable the WAN interface, or
leave it blank, and turn off the DHCP server.
►
Set the LAN IP address of the access point to 192.168.1.2
►
Set up the wireless network security.
►
Now connect one of the wireless router’s LAN ports to the
LAN port on the S-Box. Some routers will need a crossover
cable, but most will work with a standard Ethernet cable.
►
Connect your computers to your wireless access point,
referring to the documentation that came with your
computers’ wireless devices.
2.
Make sure your computers are set to use DHCP. Here is how
to do this in Windows XP:
►
Go to the “Start Menu”, select “Control Panel”, then select
“Network Connections”
►
Double-click the “Local Area Connection” icon.
►
Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” within the connection
items
►
Click on the “Properties” button.
