This chapter explains how to configure Windows and MacIntosh operating system settings so that your computer can communicate with the DW6000.
•If DHCP is not enabled on your DW6000, you have been assigned a static IP address. To check if DHCP is enabled, go to User Interface→System Information→Software Configuration. If DHCP is not enabled on your DW6000, you need to set up an IP address manually on your computer. This is referred to as static configuration since the computer's IP address remains the same across restarts.
–If you are using a Windows system, follow the instructions in Configuring Windows for a DW6000 with a static IP address on page 46.
–If you are using a MacIntosh® system, follow the instructions in Configuring a MacIntosh for a DW6000 with a static IP address on page 58.
•If DHCP has been enabled, follow the instructions in the sections listed below.
–If you are using a Windows system, follow the instructions in Configuring Windows when DHCP is enabled on page 52.
–If you are using a MacIntosh system, follow the instructions in Configuring a MacIntosh when DHCP is enabled on page 59.
If you are using the DW6000 with a network, you must have already installed an Ethernet hub or wireless base station, network interface cards (NICs) in the computers that will be on your local area network (LAN), and if necessary connected the computers to the Ethernet hub with Ethernet cable. See Appendix B – on page 61.
Note: Remember you must carry out the relevant instructions for each of the computers or other devices on your LAN that you want to have access to the Internet.
Note: Home networking equipment required but not included. For network setup, support and configuration, contact your network hardware manufacturer and/or operating system software developer (HUGHES is not responsible for home network management or troubleshooting). Simultaneous use of high bandwidth applications by multiple users may result in degradation of speed. Actual speeds may vary. Speed and uninterrupted use of service are not guaranteed.
