Chapter 4
PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via VRT-311 /
VRT-311S.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
VRT-311 / VRT-311S uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that
the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default VRT-311 / VRT-311S settings, and the default Win-
dows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, VRT-311 / VRT-311S will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are re-
quired:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of VRT-311 / VRT-311S.
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Other
Features and Operations for details.
