Chapter 4

PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")

LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

•

TCP/IP network settings

•

Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TW100-

BRF114U.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The TW100-BRF114U uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential

that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default TW100-BRF114U settings, and the default Windows

TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•

By default, the TW100-BRF114U will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a

suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

•

For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP

client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-

quired:

•

The

Gateway

must be set to the IP address of the TW100-BRF114U

•

The

DNS

should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-

configure the Router itself. Refer to

Chapter 8 - Ad-

vanced Setup

for details.
