2 PC Configuration
User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet
access configuration for each system within RX3041 LAN.
The RX3041 Router, by default, acts as a DHCP server, it
automatically assigns IP address to each system when the
systems boot up. If users choose fixed IP addresses for
client systems, the gateway of the client system must be set
to the IP address of the Router and DNS of the client system
should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
