This appendix explains how to configure Windows and
Macintosh operating system settings so that your computer can
communicate with the terminal.
The following topics are discussed:
• Determining if DHCP is enabled on the remote terminal on
page 65
• Configuring Windows for a static IP address on page 66
• Configuring Windows to support a DHCP-enabled terminal
on page 80
• Configuring a Macintosh for a static IP address on page 90
• Configuring a Macintosh to support a DHCP-enabled

3. Click System Info on the System Control Center home page.
4. Observe the value in the

Enabled appears in the field, you must configure the
computer’s operating system to support DHCP. For a
Windows operating system, refer to Configuring Windows to
