For the LAN interface to work without any further setup, the connected 
computer must be set up to obtain an IP address and a DNS server address 
automatically.

To prevent inadvertent airtime usage, the user must disconnect the data 
connection when not in use. If the data connection is not properly 
disconnected, the computer may dial out on its own, which could result in an 
unintended airtime charge. KVH accepts no responsibility if this occurs. It is 
the vessel owner's responsibility to ensure that the TracPhone system is 
correctly interfaced with the vessel's computer(s).

Do as follows:

1. Power up your computer.

2. Connect your LAN cable between the network connector on your computer 

and one of the LAN connectors on the terminal.

3. When the computer and the terminal are ready, check the connection e.g. 

by accessing the built-in web interface of the terminal with your browser. 
For further information, see Accessing the web interface on page 60.

You may have to disable the Proxy server settings in your browser. For 
further information, see Browser settings on page 58.

For information on how to configure the LAN interface on the terminal, see 
Configuring the LAN interface on page 87.
