Connecting your RSU to a computer
This section describes how to connect your RSU to a computer.
If you want to connect your RSU to a network device (such as a router
or switch), refer to the section “Connecting the RSU to a network”
on page 19, in this guide.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The installation consists of the following major tasks, each of which
is explained in greater detail in the sections that follow:
1 After ensuring your Ethernet NIC is installed properly, make sure
your computer is set up to automatically obtain an IP address.
2 Plug in the RSU.
3 Find the strongest signal from your service provider.
4 If necessary, fine-tune the connection to your service provider.
5 Connect to the Internet.

SETTING UP THE COMPUTER TO DYNAMICALLY
RECEIVE AN IP ADDRESS
You must set up your computer so it can dynamically receive an IP
address. Your service provider assigns your computer an IP address
so that the Internet information you request can reach your computer.
• If you are running Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98 or
Windows ME, go to “Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98,
Windows ME: Setting up the network connection” on page 5.
• If you are running Windows 2000, go to “Windows 2000: Setting
up the network connection” on page 5.
• If you don’t see your operating system listed here, check the system’s help file. Most explain how to set up a system to dynamically receive an IP address.
