3.1 Before Configuration
This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that communicate with
the TW-EA1000, either to configure the device, or for network access. These PCs must have an
Ethernet interface installed properly, be connected to the TW-EA1000 either directly or through
an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address
through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet of the TW-
EA1000. The default IP address of the TW-EA1000 is 192.168.0.254 and subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. The best and easy way is to configure the PC to get an IP address from the TW-
EA1000 Router. Also make sure you have UNINSTALLED any kind of software firewall that
can cause problems accessing the 192.168.0.254 IP address of the router.
Please follow the steps below for PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please
check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter
must be installed. If not, please refer to MS Windows related manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the TW-
EA1000GE.
