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 21)
2. Config
ure MP-20x's network connection (refer to 'Configuring the MP-20x's Network
Connection' on page 24)
3.1 Defining Your PC's Network Connection
Refer to MP-20x 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. MP-20x 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 22
Refer to 'Li
nux' on page 22
For
connecting your PC to the MP-20x's wireless network, refer to 'Wireless LAN
Connection' on page 22.
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.
