3.2 Setting up a Static IP address
1. Right click on "My Network
Places" and select "Properties":
"My Network Places" can be
found in one of two locations -
the desktop of your PC or in
control panel. In the control
panel it is called "Network and
Dial-up Connections" and here
you need to double left click.
2. Right click on the network connection corresponding to the Ethernet
port on your PC (the one that is connected to the 640H via the
Ethernet cat5e lead) and select "Properties". In most situations this
connection is called "Local Area Connection" however it may be called
"Local Area Connection 1", "Local Area Connection 2" etc depending
on your network setup:
3. In the window that appears, select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and
then click on the "Properties" button:
4. The following window that appears is split up into two sections; The IP
address setup and DNS setup. In the IP address setup there are two
options; "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Use the following
IP address". The DNS set up should be as specified by your ISP.
5. Select the option "Use the following IP address".
6. This should then un-grey the following input boxes: "IP address,"
"Subnet mask" and "Default gateway."
7. The IP address can be entered to be any numbers as long as they
match the rest of your network. The preferred method is 192.168.0.X
where X is a number unique to the device, i.e. PC, between 1 and 254.
The full stop's (.) are in the text box by default.
8. The Subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0. Windows should
set this by default when selected. The full stop's (.) are in the text box
by default.
9. The Default gateway is the device that is controlling the internet
connection. In the text box, you need to type the IP address of this
device. By convention, X for the default gateway is 1. So using
192.168.0.X, the Default gateway should be set to 192.168.0.1 in the
text box:
10. Click "OK" and the window will close (this may take a little time as
the computer needs to set the information you have provided). Click
"OK" on the corresponding windows.
This process is now complete.
