Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the LevelOne
22Mbps Wireless AP Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all func-
tions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router settings, and
the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router will act as a DHCP Server, auto-
matically 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 LevelOne 22Mbps Wireless AP Router
•
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 - Ad-
vanced Setup for details.
