4.2 Configuration

Configuration and testing of an Ethernet connection with N8000

The purpose of this procedure is to build a connection between a PC and a N8000 with factory network settings (see page 25) via Ethernet and to check the proper function of this connection. In the following it is assumed that neither the PC nor the N8000 are connected with an existing network.

1.Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connection.

The window Network Connections appears. Here, all available possibilities for the connection of your PC with a network are given. The Ethernet connection that is used for the connection with the N8000 is contained in the LAN or High-Speed Internet category.

2.Click on (with the right mouse button) that particular Ethernet connection in the

Network Connections window that should be used for the connection with the N8000. The context menu of the chosen Ethernet connection appears.
