Setting up your computer IP address
The BSR222 is already set up to assign your computer an IP address. Use this
section to set up your computer to receive an IP address or assign it a static IP
address in the 192.168.1.34 to 192.168.1.254 range with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that your computer can communicate
with your Business Secure Router.
Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP must
already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP or Macintosh OS
7 and later operating systems. Instructions are provided here for configuring
Windows 2000, NT and XP operating systems. Refer to Nortel Business Secure
Router 222 Configuration — Basics (NN47922-500) and Nortel Business Secure
Router 222 Configuration — Advanced (NN47922-501) for detailed IP address
configuration for Windows 95, 98, Me and Macintosh and Linux computer
operating systems.
