When you initially direct connect your laptop ser-
vice computer to the booster it will be necessary to
change the computers IP address. The procedure
for doing this varies depending upon your operat-
ing system. As an example, this appendix illus-
trates how to make the change using the Microsoft
XP operating system. The procedure for other
operating systems will vary slightly from this exam-
ple. Consult with your IT support personnel if
needed. To change the IP address (assuming the
Microsoft XP operating system is being used) per-
form the following in a step-by-step fashion;

1) Select “Start” from the status menu.

2) Single click the “Control Panel” choice from the

“Start” pop-up menu as shown in Figure B1.

3) From the “Control Panel” icon selections double

click on the “Network Connections” icon. Refer
to Figure B2.

4) When the “Network Connections” folder opens

double click on the “Local Area Connection”
icon. See Figure B3.

5) The “Local Area Connection Status” box will

open. Single click the “Properties” tab as shown
in Figure B4. Note: If you do not have the cable
connected between the service computer and
the booster front panel the “Local Area Connec-
tion Status” box will not open. Instead proceed
to step 6.

6) The “Local Area Connection Properties” box will

open. Use the arrow buttons to scroll down the
list until the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” choice
is highlighted as shown in Figure B5. Click the
“Properties” tab at the right-center of the box.

7) Select the “Use the following IP address” bub-

ble. Make sure the circle is filled-in. Refer to
Figure B6.

8) Enter the new IP address and subnet mask val-

ues as shown in Figure B7. To interface your
computer to the signal booster use an IP
address of “192.168.1.2” and a subnet mask of
“ 255.255.255.0”.

9) Click on the “OK” tab to initiate the changes.

This completes the procedure. Close any open
boxes.
