Configuring PC's in the Network
Any PC that is connected to the network (either plugged directly into the AIR-104/204 or
uplinked from an external hub/switch) requires configuration before it can communicate
with the AIR-104/204.
Each PC must have TCP/IP installed. Additionally, each PC must either be configured to
obtain an IP address through a DHCP server, or must have its IP address set manually.
Only PC' s configured in this manner can share Internet access by means of the AIR-104/
204 .
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through
Note:
the AIR-104/204. Other types of workstations may or may not be compatible; please
consult the manufacturer' s documentation.
It is strongly recommended that you configure each network PC to obtain its IP
Note:
address automatically from a DHCP server. Only this configuration procedure is escribed
below. If you wish to set network IP addresses manually, please consult more detailed
TCP/IP documentation.
When you first install the AIR-104/204 in your network, you will need to configure a PC so
that you can use it, in turn, to configure the AIR-104/204.
After the AIR-104/204 is properly configured, you will need to configure each PC that is
connected to the network.
For configuration, a PC must have a properly-installed Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network
interface, and that network interface must be connected properly to the network (either
connected directly to a LAN port of the AIR-104/204, or uplinked via a properly-
connected external hub or switch).
There are no operating system requirements for PC' s to be configured. However,
Windows 95 and Windows 98 are the most popular operating systems currently in use;
the procedure described below applies for Windows 95/98. To configure PC' s or
terminals running other operating systems, consult the relevant user manual for
information about installing TCP/IP.
