4. Installing the WebShare Utilities Setup Software on Your PC
4.1 WebShare Utilities Setup Installation Procedure
Account parameters must be added to WebShare before connecting to your ISP or Corporate LAN. Use the
Westell provided WebShare Setup Utility to simplify the set up of the following:
•
Selection of the desired Ethernet Adapter (in instances where more than one Ethernet adapter exists on
the PC).
•
Automatic enabling of DHCP (referred to “Obtain IP Address Automatically” in Windows 95, 98)
•
Automatic assignment of the WebShare gateway address of 192.168.0.1
•
Simplified service provider account information installation via the Account Install screen.
•
Installation of the WebShare IP Discovery (Useful in the event that the factory WebShare Proxy Router IP
settings have been altered from the default values)
If desired, the WebShare Setup Utility can be used on each PC in a multiple PC environment. Alternately, the
remaining networked PC’s can use the WebShare Proxy Router by enabling DHCP (referred to as “Obtain an IP
Automatically” in Windows). In this instance, access to the WebShare home page is accomplished by entering
the URL of 192.168.0.1 in your browser.
To use the Westell provided WebShare Setup Utility, proceed to section 4.1.1.
