Setting Up the PC To Configure the Modem

SETTING UP THE PC TO CONFIGURE THE MODEM

Set up your PC to be on the same IP subnet as the modem. Since the modem default uses DHCP, it will automatically configure your IP settings once you set up that option. If you want to view or change the default IP address for the modem, see “Using the RS-232 Management Port” on page 80.

The following is an example of how to set up a PC running Microsoft Windows 98.

1Open the Control Panel then double-click the Network icon.

2From the Configuration tab, double-click TCP/IP.

3If DHCP has been enabled on the modem (default), select Obtain an IP

address automatically and skip to step 5. Otherwise, select Specify an IP address.

4Enter IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1. Use an IP address from the following range: 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

5Click OK to close the TCP/IP Properties window.

6Click OK to close the Network window.

7Click OK to restart the computer.
