3 Setting up a Network Connection
¾ To set up a network connection:
1. Define your PC's network connection (refer to ''Defining Your PC's Network
Connection'' on page 19)
2. Configure the MP-202's network connection (refer to ''Configuring the MP-202's
Network Connection'' on page 21)
3.1 Defining Your PC's Network Connection
Refer to MP-202 Telephone Adapter Quick Installation Guide for instructions relating to
installation on a Windows™ operating system.
Each network interface on the PC should either be configured with a statically defined IP
address and DNS address, or should be instructed to automatically obtain an IP address
using the Network DHCP server.
The MP-202 provides a DHCP server on its LAN and it is recommended to configure your
PC to obtain its IP and DNS server IPs automatically.
This configuration principle is identical but performed differently on each operating system.
Refer to ''Windows XP'' on page 20
Refer to ''Linux'' on page 20
Note: The setup procedure is in most cases unnecessary due to Windows' default
network settings. For example, the default DHCP setting in Windows XP is
'client', requiring no further modification. It is advisable however to follow the
setup procedure in order to verify that all communication parameters are valid
and that the physical cable connections are correct.
