USB Driver Installation Part 2. Configuring IP properties on the
USB PC. Now that the USB driver installation is complete, you must
configure the USB PC so that its IP properties place it in the same
subnet as the Ethernet Modem Router ’s USB port. There are two
ways to do this:
f The Ethernet Modem Router is configured to assign an
appropriate IP address to the USB PC. If you want to use
this automatic assignment feature, called “DHCP server,”
you must configure the USB PC to accept dynamically
assigned IP information. Follow the instruction on pages
22
through
22226 that correspond to the operating system
installed on your PC.
f If you want to assign a static IP address to the PC, follow
the instructions on page
27 and use the following
information:
o In the Network and Dial-up Connections window, be
sure to select the icon that corresponds to your new
USB connection (not the one that corresponds to your
Ethernet NIC). When you display properties for the
icon, the following text should display in the Connect
Using text box:
USB IAD LAN Modem #n
o The USB interface on the Ethernet Modem Router is
preconfigured with these properties:
USB interface IP address: 192.168.1.2
USB interface subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Therefore, your PC must be configured as follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.n where n is a
number from 3 to 253.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.2
