Setting Up the PC to Request an IP AddressPRELIMINARY

SETTING UP THE PC TO REQUEST AN IP ADDRESS

You configure the Megabit Modem 500L using a PC connected to the 10/100BASE-T port. The PC must be set to obtain an IP address automatically from the modem. The modem, as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, provides an IP address to this PC dynamically.

The following is an example of how to set up the PC using Microsoft® Windows® 95. If you use an application other than Windows 95, refer to the appropriate operating system user documentation.
