Install your Network and Network Software

The Internet Server provides a connection to a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX network. It connects like any other computer
to a hub or a switch on your network.
Before installing the Internet Server, install your hub or
switch and cables. You should also install Network Interface
Cards (NICs) in all the PCs on your network that do not
already have an Ethernet connection built in.
Each PC must also have TCP/IP drivers installed so that it can
communicate with the Internet Server. For more information
about installing TCP/IP drivers, refer to your PC User Guide,
your NIC User Guide or your Windows manual. The TCP/IP
configuration can be carried out by the Internet Server
Client Wizard.

Install your Internet Gateway Device

The Internet Server is designed to work with any Internet
Gateway device that provides either:
an Ethernet 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connection (such
I
as LAN modem or router)
a serial RS-232 connection (dial up modem device).
I
The connection you use to access your Internet Service
Provider (ISP), depends on the type of Internet Gateway
device you choose and the services offered by your ISP.
