4.3. Macintosh Clients

From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Wireless Router. The procedure is as follows.

1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.

2. Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.

3. Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can be left blank.

4. Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.

Note:

If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the required changes are:

• Set the Router Address field to the Wireless Router's IP Address.

• Ensure your DNS settings are correct.

4.4. Linux Clients

To access the Internet via the Wireless Router, it is only necessary to set the Wireless Router as the "Gateway".

Ensure you are logged in as "root" before attempting any changes.

Fixed IP Address

By default, most Unix installations use a fixed IP Address. If you wish to continue using a fixed IP Address, make the

following changes to your configuration.

• Set your "Default Gateway" to the IP Address of the Wireless Router.

• Ensure your DNS (Name server) settings are correct.

The procedure below may vary according to your version of Linux and X -windows shell.

1. Start your X Windows client.

2. Select Control Panel - Network

3. Select the "Interface" entry for your Network card. Normally, this will be called "eth0".

4. Click the Edit button, set the "protocol" to "DHCP", and save this data.

5. To apply your changes

• Use the "Deactivate" and "Activate" buttons, if available.

• OR, restart your system.

4.5. Other Unix Systems

To access the Internet via the Wireless Router:

• Ensure the "Gateway" field for your network card is set to the IP Address of the Wireless Router.

• Ensure your DNS (Name Server) settings are correct.

4.6. Wireless Station Configuration

This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless Router's Access Point, regardless of the

operating system which is used on the client.

To use the Wireless Access Point in the Wireless Router, each Wireless Station must have compatible settings, as

follows:
