Getting your PC communicating with the
router
The AR100 Series Access Wizard will automatically set up communication
between your PC and your router. It checks that your PC has an Ethernet
adapter card, that TCP/IP is installed and correctly configured, and that a web
browser installed. It checks that there is a connection between the router and
the PC, and makes sure that the router and the PC have the IP addresses they
need to communicate with one another.
If anything in the system setup prevents communication, dialog boxes will tell
you what to do. For more information, see Chapter 9, Troubleshooting. If you
need to restart the AR100 Series Access Wizard after an interruption, remove
the CD, re-insert it in the CD-ROM drive, and click Configure Router again.
1. Start the AR100 Series Access Wizard by clicking Configure Router on the
CD's Welcome screen. The "AR100 Series Access Wizard Welcome dialog"
on page 16 opens.
