Installing and Starting the MCA1001 Configuration Utility
This section explains how to install and begin using the MCA1001 Configuration Utility.
Installing the MCA1001 Configuration Utility
To install the MCA1001 Configuration Utility:
1. Verify that your computer is able to manage the MCA1001:
•
Your computer's operating system must be either Windows XP or Windows Vista. The
MCA1001 Configuration Utility is only supported on these platforms.
•
In your computer's Internet protocol properties (TCP/IP), make sure you use DHCP in
your network (you usually allow your computer's IP address to be set automatically).
Tip: If you are using a fixed IP address, make a note of it before you change it so
you can restore it later. You can change the computer's IP address to the
subnet of 192.168.0.x (x equals any number from 1 to 254, excluding 20).
The MCA1001 Coax-Ethernet Adapter's default IP address is 192.168.0.20.
2. From the Resource CD, install the utility on the computer that you will use for management.
After installation, the MCA1001 Configuration Utility icon displays on your desktop
Configuring Your Computer and the MCA1001

1. Select one of your Coax-Ethernet Adapters to configure as the "local MCA1001" and
disconnect it from your network.
