Connecting to / Disconnecting from the Internet

Connecting to the Internet

Whenever a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator) or an e- mail client is started on any one of the PCs connected to the Eumex 704PC LAN, a connection to the Internet is established automatically.

If a browser or an e-mail client is then started on one or more of the other PCs in the network, the bandwidth available for the Internet access is shared amongst those PCs.

Note

The first time you start a Web browser, the Internet Connection Wizard will open. You can use the wizard to configure the Internet connection conveniently. If the wizard does not appear automatically, you can invoke it using "Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet > Connection > Connect," or by clicking the menu item "Internet Options" when Internet Explorer is running.

The Eumex 704PC LAN driver installation also installs support for the USB port, which enables easy switching between both types of connection. However, as a result of this, Windows 2000 shows the USB connection separately when the connection to the system is via a LAN. This does not affect the correct operation of your system in any way.

Disconnecting from the Internet

Start the configuration software to edit the many Eumex 704PC LAN settings.

Access to the configuration program is PIN-protected. In the default setting on deliv- ery, this PIN is 0000 (i.e. nought four times).

This is the same as the PIN you need to start the configuration mode from a tele- phone. You can edit the PIN via the menu item "Extras" (Tools) in the configuration program menu bar, or from a connected telephone (see also "Editing the PIN" on p. 35).

Click the desired key word in the menu items appearing on the left-hand side to open the corresponding screen.
