This chapter explains how to configure Windows and MacIntosh operating
system settings so that your computer can communicate with the DW6000.
• If DHCP is not enabled on your DW6000, you have been assigned a static
IP address. To check if DHCP is enabled, go to
User Interface→ System
Information
→ Software Configuration. If DHCP is not enabled on your
DW6000, you need to set up an IP address manually on your computer. This
is referred to as static configuration since the computer's IP address remains
the same across restarts.
– If you are using a Windows system, follow the instructions in
Configuring Windows for a DW6000 with a static IP address on page 46.
– If you are using a MacIntosh
®
system, follow the instructions in
Configuring a MacIntosh for a DW6000 with a static IP address on
page 58.
• If DHCP has been enabled, follow the instructions in the sections listed
below.
– If you are using a Windows system, follow the instructions in
Configuring Windows when DHCP is enabled on page 52.
– If you are using a MacIntosh system, follow the instructions in
Configuring a MacIntosh when DHCP is enabled on page 59.
If you are using the DW6000 with a network, you must have already installed an
Ethernet hub or wireless base station, network interface cards (NICs) in the
computers that will be on your local area network (LAN), and if necessary
connected the computers to the Ethernet hub with Ethernet cable. See
Appendix B – on page 61.
Note: Remember you must carry out the relevant instructions for each of the
computers or other devices on your LAN that you want to have access to the
Internet.
Note: Home networking equipment required but not included. For network setup,
support and configuration, contact your network hardware manufacturer and/or
operating system software developer (HUGHES is not responsible for home
network management or troubleshooting). Simultaneous use of high bandwidth
applications by multiple users may result in degradation of speed. Actual speeds
may vary. Speed and uninterrupted use of service are not guaranteed.
