Verify DHCP

This step is for networks that use DHCP to provide IP addresses to the end-user’s computer.

Assuming the Setup command shows that the modem has registered with a Base Station and

is receiving a signal, then reconfigure the end-user PC to use the correct IP address. This is

usually done using DHCP to automatically obtain the IP address.

On Windows 2000, XP and similar systems, the IP Address is set using the Control Panel >

Network and Dialup Connection > Local Area Connections > right mouse click to select

Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties. To enable DHCP, click on the “Obtain an

IP Address Automatically” button.

Once properly configured, verify the end-user has received an IP address. For a Windows

2000 or XP PC, in a DOS Window, type “ipconfig” and see that there is an IP address

assigned along with a Gateway Address and DNS server addresses This confirms that the

End user PC is contacting the DHCP server correctly. Record the IP Address of the gateway

and the DNS servers.

Ping the Gateway

Ensure the end-user’s PC is configured properly. Then ping the gateway address from a PC

DOS window. The gateway address was recorded during the Verify DHCP address if using

DHCP. Otherwise the installer will know the gateway address since it is needed to configure

the end-user’s PC.
