RX3141 User’s Manual Chapter 3. Quick Start Guide

3.2 Part 2 — Configuring Your Computers
Part 2 of the Quick Start Guide provides instructions for configuring the network settings on your computers to
work with the RX3141.
3.2.1 Before you begin
By default, the RX3141 automatically assigns all required network settings (e.g. IP address, DNS server IP
address, default gateway IP address) to your PCs. You need only to configure your PCs to accept the network
settings provided by the RX3141.
Note
In some cases, you may want to configure network settings
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
RX3141 to do so. See “Assigning static IP addresses to your PCs”
in page 15 for instructions.
f If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the RX3141, follow the instructions that correspond to
the operating system installed on your PC.
