Changing TCP/IP Settings to DHCP
For most connection scenarios, your computer must have TCP/IP configured to act as a DHCP
client. This allows your computer to dynamically acquire its IP address and other settings from
the Eicon1530.
Note: If you do not want to use the Eicon1530’s DHCP feature, you must change the IP address of your
computer to 192.168.1.2, or 192.168.1.3, etc., as the default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
The following procedures describe how to set your TCP/IP settings for Windows 95,
Windows98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. For other platforms, consult
the documentation for your operating system.

TCP/IP Settings for Windows 95/98/Me
The following procedure describes how to verify and install TCP/IP on Windows 95,
Windows98, or Windows Me. Note that if you have more than one Ethernet adapter installed
on your system, you must only change the settings for the adapter used by the Eicon 1530.
1.
Click ‘Start’, ‘Settings’, ‘Control Panel’.
2.
Double-click the ‘Network’ icon. The‘Network’ dialog box appears. By default, the
‘Configuration’ tab is displayed.
3.
If ‘TCP/IP’ is not listed for your network adapter in the ‘Components’ list, you must add it,
as described below.
• Click ‘Add’. The ‘Select Network Component Type’ dialog box appears.
• Select ‘Protocol’, then click ‘Add’. The ‘Select Network Protocol’ window appears.
• In the ‘Manufacturer’ box, select ‘Microsoft’.
• In ‘Network Protocols’, select ‘TCP/IP’.
• Click ‘OK’. Once installation is complete, you are returned to the Network window.
• Do not click the ‘OK’ button yet; next you will verify your TCP/IP settings.
4.
In the list of components, select ‘TCP/IP’ for your network card, then click ‘Properties’. The
‘TCP/IP Properties’ dialog box appears.
5.
Click the ‘IP Address’ tab and select ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’. This defines your
machine as a DHCP client.
6.
Click the ‘WINS Configuration’ tab and select ‘Use DHCP for WINS Resolution’.
7.
Click the ‘Gateway’ tab and remove all existing gateways.
8.
Click the ‘DNS Configuration’ tab and select ‘Disable DNS.’ This instructs your computer
to obtain DNS server information via DHCP.
