4.2.4.3 Accessing AOL
To access AOL (America On Line) through the Wireless Portable Router, the AOL for Windows software must
be configured to use TCP/IP network access, rather than a dial-up connection. The configuration process is as

1. Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0 or later. This
procedure will not work with earlier versions.
2. Click the Setup button.
3. Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to " Wireless Portable
Router ".
4. Click Edit Location. Select TCP/IP for the Network field. (Leave the Phone Number blank.)
5. Click Save, then OK.
6. Configuration is now complete.
7. Before clicking "Sign On", always ensure that you are using the " Wireless Portable Router " location.

is as follows.
1. Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2. Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.
3. Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field can
be left blank.
