Preparation before beginning web administration on VIP-101T
In this section, we’ll introduce steps of how to setup a PC to communicate with VIP-101T through
TCP/IP protocol configuration.
Before starting web browser to connect to VIP-101T, please check TCP/IP configurations on PC:
the PC must be configured either as a DHCP client and or fixed IP allocation on the intranet or
Internet. After ensuring TCP/IP configuration on the managing workstation, you may connect to
web administration page of VIP-101T either from intranet, or Internet
Following are guidelines of setting up TCP/IP configurations on different OS platform
Checking TCP/IP settings on Windows 95/98
If there is no TCP/IP installed on your Windows 95 or Windows 98, you must add the protocol and
change the settings on your PC.
Step 1 Open the Control Panel, and double-click the Network icon. The Network window ap-
pears
Step 2 If TCP/IP protocol shown in the network window, please continue to the next step. If it
is not shown, please add TCP/IP protocol support as follows:
a. Click Add.
