MDR 24/96

Note: We have only included specific instructions to set up a PC computer with Windows 95 or 98 installed and a Macintosh with OS

9.2.1.Sorry, we would end up with a novel if

we covered every platform and operating system but you should be able to apply these instructions most operating systems.

System #2 Settings (second computer or other Ethernet device)

Windows 95/98

Configuring TCP/IP:

From the Windows Start button, select Settings. From the pop-up menu, select Control Panel. You can also get to the Control Panel from the My Computer icon if you have one on your desktop. Work your way down through the Control Panel menus as follows:

Network Configuration TCP/IP IP Address

If you don’t see TCP/IP as a choice in the Configuration window (unusual for standard installations), you’ll need to install it from the Windows installation disk. See “TCP/IP Is Not Listed” below.

You may or may not have to make changes to the TCP/IP settings, depending on how your computer is set up. If you use the computer in a network presently, or if you use it to connect to the Internet, providing those are functioning normally, it is best to record your current settings and set the MDR24/96 accordingly. Changing network settings may cause problems with your existing networking.

If the “Specify an IP Address” button is checked and there is an address and subnet mask displayed, jot those numbers down. You’ll need them to match up the MDR24/96 with your computer.

If the “Obtain an IP Address Dynamically” button is checked, or if the “Specify” button is checked but no IP address is displayed, you’ll have to make a change. If the computer is not on a local area network and you aren’t planning to use it to connect to the Internet, the simplest thing to do is check the “Specify” button and enter an IP address and subnet mask. Use the same subnet mask as the MDR. Enter the same IP address as the MDR except change the last field to something different than the MDR.

TCP/IP Is Not Listed

If the TCP/IP networking software is not installed, install it as follows:

1.Click the Add button.

2.Click Protocol and then click Add.

3.In the Manufacturer’s window, click Microsoft.

4.In the Network Protocols window, click TCP/IP, and then click OK.

5.Return to the Configuration window. You should now see TCP/IP listed.

6.Click the TCP/IP entry, then click Properties.
