Checking and Installing the TCP/IP Protocol
The TCP/IP protocol is the "language" PCs use to communicate over the
network and to connect to the Internet. Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is
installed before you start the configuration. To check if the TCP/IP
protocol is already installed or to install it now, proceed as follows:
➤Click Settings
➧
Control Panel in the Start menu. Double click
Network.
➤Windows 95/98: Look for TCP/IP in the list of network components.
➤For Windows NT: Select the Protocols tab. Search in the network
protocols list for TCP/IP protocol.
➤If you can’t find this entry, install the TCP/IP protocol as described
below. Otherwise, close the dialog box and start configuration
(Section 3).
Installing the TCP/IP protocol:
➤Windows 95/98: Click Add in the Network dialog box. Select
Protocol in the list of network components. Click Add. Select
Microsoft as manufacturer and TCP/IP as network protocol. Click
OK. In an existing network, you might have to configure additional
settings here. Ask your system administrator. If you are setting up a
new network, click OK. Your PC is now configured as a DHCP client.
➤For Windows NT: Click the Protocols tab in the Network dialog box.
ClickAdd.SelectTCP/IP protocol fromthelistof network protocols.
Click OK. Click Yes if you are configuring a new network (PC as
DHCP client). In an existing network, ask your system administrator.
➤Follow the instructions on the screen and finally restart your PC.
Repeat the installation on all PCs with which you need to access the
Internet or corporate network.
➤Close all Windows programs on your PC.
➤Place your BinTec Companion CD in the CD-ROM drive of your PC.
The Start window appears automatically after a short time. If the
Start window does not open automatically, click your CD-ROM drive
in Windows Explorer and double-click setup.exe.
➤Click BRICKware. The setup program starts.
➤Specify the directory in which BRICKware should be installed.

the basic functions of X1000. The Configuration Wizard starts after the
installation.
The configuration of your router is quick and easy with the Configuration
Wizard. Please note: If you have already configured your router with the
Configuration Wizard, the Wizard can assume the preset values. At the
end, the configuration is transferred to the router and saved on the PC.
Youcancarry out the configuration ineither Quick Mode or ExpertMode.
If you are unfamiliar with networking technologies, choose Quick Mode.
You can select from the following configuration options: basic router
configuration, Internet access and corporate network connection
(LAN-LAN connection). The basic router configuration is essential. It
integrates the router in your local network and enables the use of
communications applications (CAPI).
➤Select the desired options and follow the instructions on the screen.
➤If you have set up a new network and installed the TCP/IP protocol
on the PC as described above, configure your router as a DHCP
server.
In this case, the PC must be assigned an IP address at the end of
configuration. This happens automatically under Windows NT. Under
Windows 95 or 98, the Configuration Wizard starts the program
WINIPCFG:
➤Click Yes to start WINIPCFG. Click Renew All and then click OK.
If you have selected communications applications (CAPI) during
configuration, you will now be asked to perform CAPI configuration.
CAPI allows you to send and receive fax messages, use an answering
machine, etc.
➤Click Yes to start configuration. If not entered already, enter the IP
address of your router in the Remote CAPI tab and enter the user
name and password for the users of telematic services entered
previously in the Configuration Wizard. Click Use these values.
Click OK.
To be able to use fax services on your PC, you must also install a CAPI
application such as RVS-Com Lite. RVS-Com Lite is included on your
BinTec Companion CD.
➤Click RVS-Com Lite in the setup program (see Section 3 "Installing
BRICKware") to install RVS-Com Lite and follow the instructions on
the screen. An online help system is also available.
You can set up Internet access over your router for all PCs in the same
network as your router. In order to do this, you must configure the router
as gateway and as DNS on all PCs that have not been configured as
DHCP clients.
