Overview
This chapter explains how to connect the Diva2430 to a single computer or to a local
area network.

Connecting to Both Ports

Once you connect a computer to either the USB or Ethernet port, you can connect a
second computer to the unused port without reconfiguring the device. However, to
ensure proper operation, connect only one computer and verify that the device is
working correctly before connecting a second computer.

Hardware Requirements

In addition, the normal Windows setup includes the installation of the Diva Assistant.
The Diva Assistant software is a Windows-only application that facilitates the
management of the Diva2430. To install and run this software you will need an
IBM®-compatible 486 or Pentium-based computer equipped with a CD-ROM drive,
running Microsoft® Windows 95 or later.

Software Requirements

The Diva 2430 is configured using a web browser. Minimum requirements are
Netscape 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4 (or later versions). An installer for Internet Explorer
is included on the Diva 2430 CD-ROM for computers running Windows.
(Windows NT® 4.0 requires SP3 or later, available at http://www.microsoft.com/.)
Connection Type Requirements
Computer via
USB port
•An available USB Port.
•Windows® 98, Windows 2000, or Windows Me. The
Diva2430 does not support USB for Windows 95,
Macintosh®, or other systems.
Computer via
Ethernet port
•Any computer and operating system capable of supporting a
10BASE-T Ethernet card and the TCP/IP protocol.
•A 10BASE-T Ethernet network interface card, properly
installed and configured to use the TCP/IP protocol. Consult
the documentation that came with your card for instructions
on how to do this. A 100 Mbps Ethernet card can only be
connected to the Diva2430 if it supports auto-sensing.
•TCP/IP communications protocol installed and configured.
