8.Connecting a non-Windows computer to the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem
Note If you are using an operating system other than Windows 95/98/NT4, follow the steps in this section to configure your system so that it can communicate with the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem.
To connect to the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem
1.Make sure that your computer has TCP/IP installed, configured, and bound to its Ethernet card.
2.Enable DHCP client support. This allows your computer to automatically obtain its IP address from the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem (which acts as a DHCP server). If you do not want to use the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem as your DHCP server, make sure that the IP address assigned to your computer is on the same IP network as the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem (192.168.1.0), and that its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. A simple solution is to use the address 192.168.1.2 for your computer. You must also ensure that the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem is added to your list of gateways and DNS servers.
3.Determine if you computer can communicate with the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem. Start your web browser (Netscape 3.01 or later, or Internet Explorer 4.x).
4.Specify the address 192.168.1.1 and press Enter. (If you changed the address of the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem, enter the new address instead.)
5.Your web browser will load the Log In page.
If you cannot load the log in page, try to PING the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem with the command: PING 192.168.1.1.
If you receive a reply, your Web browser may not be configured properly. Make sure that:
•it is configured to use the LAN, and not a
•it is not set to use a proxy server
If you do not receive a reply, it is likely that your TCP/IP settings are incorrect, verify the settings you made in step 1 and 2.
6.Click Log In. (Until you set a password, none is required to log in.)
