Conguring your Ethernet connecon
If your computer is equipped with a LAN card providing an Ethernet connecon, you
may have to congure your computer’s TCP/IP sengs. The steps that follow will
guide you through seng your computer’s TCP/IP sengs to work with the gateway.
Requirements
Make sure you have the following before aempng to congure your Ethernet
connecon:
• Computer with Ethernet interface.
• Ethernet cable (supplied).
• IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS informaon for installaons not using DHCP.
The following list shows the procedures for modifying the TCP/IP sengs on the
computer. The procedure is slightly dierent depending on the operang system that
you are using. Please ensure you are using the correct steps for the operang system
on your computer. Follow the links below for instrucons to congure your Ethernet
connecon on your operang system.
• TCP/IP Conguraon for Windows Vista (page24)
• TCP/IP Conguraon for Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows10 (page25)
• TCP/IP Conguraon for macOS (page25)
