IP Address Assignment 
Your C54RU needs to be assigned an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway 
before connecting to a LAN. 
The default setting is to use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to 
obtain the appropriate network addressing information. If your network has a 
DHCP server that can be reached from a wireless Access Point, your C54RU will 
automatically contact the server and be assigned an IP address, subnet mask, and 
the IP address of the default gateway. If your network does not have a DHCP 
server, you will need to configure the USB adapter manually. 
To configure the USB adapter’s IP address manually, click the General tab on the 
Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box to open the following dialog 
box.
