Configuring TCP/IP:
From the Windows Start button, select Settings. From the pop-up menu,
select Control Panel. You can also get to the Control Panel from the My
Computer icon if you have one on your desktop. Work your way down through
the Control Panel menus as follows:
Network | Configuration | TCP/IP | IP Address
If you don’t see TCP/IP as a choice in the Configuration window (unusual for
standard installations), you’ll need to install it from the Windows installation
disk. See “TCP/IP Is Not Listed” below.
You may or may not have to make changes to the TCP/IP settings, depending
on how your computer is set up. If you use the computer in a network
presently, or if you use it to connect to the Internet, providing those are
functioning normally, it is best to record your current settings and set the
MDR24/96 accordingly. Changing network settings may cause problems with
your existing networking.
If the “Specify an IP Address” button is checked and there is an address and
subnet mask displayed, jot those numbers down. You’ll need them to match
up the MDR24/96 with your computer.
If the “Obtain an IP Address Dynamically” button is checked, or if the
“Specify” button is checked but no IP address is displayed, you’ll have to
make a change. If the computer is not on a local area network and you aren’t
planning to use it to connect to the Internet, the simplest thing to do is check
the “Specify” button and enter an IP address and subnet mask. Use the same
subnet mask as the MDR. Enter the same IP address as the MDR except
change the last field to something different than the MDR.
TCP/IP Is Not Listed
If the TCP/IP networking software is not
installed, install it as follows:
1. Click the Add button.
2. Click Protocol and then click Add.
3. In the Manufacturer’s window, click
Microsoft .
4. In the Network Protocols window,
click TCP/IP, and then click OK.
5. Return to the Configuration window.
You should now see TCP/IP listed.
6. Click the TCP/IP entry, then click
Properties .

be able to apply these

erating systems.
