Chapter 4	4
PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

•TCP/IP network settings

•Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TW100- BRM504.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The TW100-BRM504 uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default TW100-BRM504 settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

•By default, the TW100-BRM504 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

•For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re- quired:

•The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the TW100-BRM504

•The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re- configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad- vanced Setup for details.
