Network connection: IP address setting
In the case of network configuration, the host PC must be configured to be able to speak to the
network ports on the PowerTALK 101s. Using Windows NT, one must “add” another IP address
to its configuration. Using Windows 95, only one IP address is allowed per PC, forcing the user to
change his network settings each time he changes networks form the normal office network to the
PowerTALK Ethernet network.
Below, the screens used for changing the IP addresses correctly are shown. Should no
networking be set up on your machine, contact your network administrator to set your Windows
machine up for networking.
The IP address shown on the screen prints below is used throughout this document, and can also
be used on your Windows machine, provided the example IP address 10.1.1.7 does not exist
already.
