Chapter 3 Network Settings and Software Installation

To use LevelOne WBR-2401 correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/NT/2000).

3.1 Make Correct Network Settings of Your Computer

The default IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, and the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed on you r need, but the default values are used in this

manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For example,

1. configure IP as 192.168.123.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as

192.168.123.254, or more easier,

2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server of

this product.

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to this product. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command

ping 192.168.123.254

If the following messages appear:

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:

Request timed out.

There must be something wrong in your installation procedur e. You have to check the follo wing items in sequence:

1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?

Tip: The LAN LED of this product an d the link LED of network card on your co mputer must be lighted.

2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?

Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.123.X and default gateway must be 192.168.123.254.

3.2 Install the Software into Your Computers

Skip this section if you do not want to use the print server function of this product.

Step 1: Insert the installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The following window will be

shown automatically. If it isn’t, please run “install.exe” on the CD-ROM.

Step 2: Click on the INSTALL button. Wait until the following Welcome d ialog to appear, and click on

the Next button.

Step 3: Select the destination folder and click on the Next button. Then, the setup program will begin to

install the programs into the destination folder.

Step 4: When the follo wi n g w i nd ow is displayed, click on the Finish button.

Step 5: Select the item to restart the computer and then click the OK button to reboot your computer.

Step 6: After reb ooting your computer, the software installation procedure is finished. Now, you can configure the NAT Router (refer to Chapter 4) and setup the Print Server (refer to

Chapter 5).
