Configure PCs on your LAN
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
TCP/IP network settings
Internet Access configuration
TCP/IP Settings
When using Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP and the XC-DPG603’s TCP/IP default settings,
no changes need to be made. Just start or reboot your PC.
By default, the XC-DPG603 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots up.
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a
DHCP client. In Windows, this is called
Obtain an IP address automatically
. Just
start (or restart) your PC, and it will obtain an IP address from the XC-DPG603.
If using fixed IP addresses on your LAN, or you wish to check your TCP/IP settings,
refer to
Appendix B – Windows TCP/IP Setup.
