Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for:
•
Internet access via the LevelOne WBR-1101TX
•
Printing using the printer attached to the LevelOne WBR-1101TX.
•
Remote Dial-in access to the modem attached to the LevelOne WBR-1101TX's serial
(RS232) port.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The LevelOne WBR-1101TX 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
If using the default LevelOne WBR-1101TX settings, and the default
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the LevelOne WBR-1101TX will act as a DHCP Server, automatically provid-
ing 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 LevelOne WBR-1101TX
•
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 - Routing
for details.
