2. IP Address

To use the Wireless 54 Mpbs USB Adapter with a computing device, the Wireless 54 Mpbs

USB Adapter must be equipped with an USB 1.1 or 2.0 Interface. All drivers and supporting

software for the Wireless 54 Mpbs USB Adapter need to be loaded and configured first.

Ask the system administrator for the following information which you may need during

installation:

z Wireless Client Name

z Wireless SSID

z Computer’s unique client name and workgroup name

z Network account, user name and password.

z IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a DHCP server.

Every computer in a network is identified by a unique network address. There are two methods

of assigning network addresses to computers in a TCP/IP network:

z Static IP addressing

z Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP)

In networks with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually assigns an IP

address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP

address every time if reboots and logs on to the network. You can manually changed the IP

address in the Network Properties dialog box. Networks using static IP addresses are

easy to set up and do not require additional network management software.

In a network with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network dynamically assigns

IP address to all clients every time they log on to the network. Networks using dynamic IP

addresses require setting up and running a DHCP Server.
