IP Protocol Setup
Configuring network protocols
To allow users to launch the device easily we have provided a convenient Quick Setup Wizard which automatically detects the Personal Server on your LAN.
To run the Wizard correctly, please ensure that your PC does not obtain an IP address automatically; otherwise it will not be able to initialize the setup procedure according to your network settings. To get around this problem you can either configure your PC with a static IP address or connect it to a router with an embedded DHCP server.
The following section indicates how to configure your PC with an IP address. Users of PCs that are already configured with a static IP address can skip to the next chapter – Hard Disk
Installation.
How to configure your PCs TCP/IP settings
Before proceeding you must obtain an IP address in advance. If you don’t have an IP address or you are not going to access the Personal Server via the Quick Setup Wizard, please choose an address (highlighted in blue) within the following range:
192.168.1.2 to 255
Please do not choose 192.168.1.1 as this has been set as the default for the network device.
In the following TCP/IP configuration guide, 192.168.1.2 is assumed to be your IP address.
