3.2 Configuring Your Computers
3.2.1 Before you begin
By default, the SL6000/SL6300 automatically assigns all required Internet
settings to your PCs. You need only to configure the PCs to accept the
information when it is assigned.
Note: In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
SL6000/SL6300 to do so. See “Assigning static Internet informa-
tion to your PCs” for instructions.
If you have connected your PC of LAN via Ethernet to the SL6000 / SL6300,
