Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TEW-
431BRP.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The TEW-431BRP 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 TEW-431BRP settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the TEW-431BRP 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 TEW-431BRP
•
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 - Other
