Step 3: Configuring the TCP/IP protocol

A networking protocol is a language computers use to talk to each other. One of several available protocols must be set up on each computer you plan to use on your network. We recommend you use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is widely accepted and compatible for local area networks (LANs), as well as for Internet communications.

When networking is set up in Windows XP, TCP/IP is automatically installed as the default protocol.

Terms you should know

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lets a router automatically assign an IP address to a computer on the network.

IP Address - Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that uniquely identifies a computer on the network.

Setting up a DHCP IP address for each computer

In order to use the TCP/IP protocol on each computer, you must either set the protocol to

server or make the IP address settings manually. If you use a

wireless access point router that can act as the DHCP server, you can select an IP address automatically using DHCP is one of the most common methods for setting up wireless network devices.

If your network configuration requires a static IP address (one that does not change), you must set the IP address manually. This means that you need to enter an IP address and a subnet mask. For more information about setting the IP address manually, see the Setting Up Your Wireless Windows Network guide included on the installation CD that came with your network device.

If you are connecting to a home Ethernet network, have a cable or DSL modem, and a wireless access point router that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers on the network, follow the instructions in “To set up a DHCP IP address:” on page 14.

Turning the wireless emitter off

Warning

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE

802.11g communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

You can turn off the wireless emitter to conserve the battery charge on your notebook computer or to make a computer unavailable on the network. There are times, such as when you are flying in an aircraft, when you should turn off your wireless emitter. For more safety and regulatory information, see “Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information” on page 35.

To turn the wireless emitter off:

■ Click the remove hardware icon in the taskbar, the

USB adapter name, then click

- OR -

Turn off your computer.

Important

If the remove hardware icon does not appear on the taskbar in Windows XP, click the show hidden icons button.

Wireless Guidance

The WGU-210 802.11g wireless LAN (low power Radio Frequency, RF, transmitting device) operates in the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz band. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating the wireless LAN.

Limitations, cautions, and concerns are listed below and in the specific country sections (or country group sections). This wireless device is only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the device rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in is not listed, please

contact that countries local Radio Approval agency for requirements prior to operation. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the WGU-210 wireless LAN device is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care sh ould b e take n to ma ke sur e that the us er o r b yst anders k eep the transmitter away from their bodies when the wireless device is transmitting. The transmitting antenna should be installed and used in a manner to maintain 20 cm (8 inches) from user’s or bystanders’ bodies.

This wireless device is intended to b e us ed ind oors. In som e areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.

Some circumstances require restrictions on using wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Warnin g

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g (also known as wireless Ethernet or Wifi) communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication. For more information about turning off the wireless device, see “Turning the wireless emitter off” on page 16 and “Turning the wireless emitter off” on page 31.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, hospitals, and oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.

Do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Contact Gateway for service.

Unintentional emitter per FCC Part 15

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected

■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Compliance Accessories: These accessories are required to be used in order to ensure compliance with FCC rules: The USB cable that came with the WGU-210.
