Chapter 4

PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.

Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration

Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TW100-
BRM504.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The TW100-BRM504 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 - Overview

If using the default TW100-BRM504 settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.


• By default, the TW100-BRM504 will act as a DHCP Server, automatically 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 TW100-BRM504
• 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.
