Configure PCs on your LAN

Overview

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

TCP/IP network settings

Internet Access configuration

TCP/IP Settings

When using Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP and the XC-DPG602’s TCP/IP default settings, no changes need to be made. Just start or reboot your PC.

By default, the XC-DPG602 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots up.

For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client. In Windows, this is called Obtain an IP address automatically. Just start (or restart) your PC, and it will obtain an IP address from the XC-DPG602.

If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or you wish to check your TCP/IP settings, refer to Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.
