System Configuration

Macintosh Clients

From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via ADW-4100. The procedure is as follows.

1.Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.

2.Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.

3.Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left blank.

4.Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.

Note:

If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the only change required is to set the Router Address field to ADW-4100's IP Address.

Linux Clients

To access the Internet via ADW-4100, it is only necessary to set ADW-4100 as the "Gateway".

Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.

Fixed IP Address

By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP Address, make the following changes to your configuration.

∙Set your "Default Gateway" to the IP Address of ADW-4100.

∙Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct.

To act as a DHCP Client (recommended)

The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows shell.

1.Start your X Windows client.

2.Select Control Panel - Network

3.Select the "Interface" entry for your Network card. Normally, this will be called "eth0".

4.Click the Edit button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data.

5.To apply your changes

∙Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available.

∙OR, restart your system.
