Verify your PC Configuration
1. Verify that your NIC and network driver are correctly installed; the Ethernet
LED on the OmniConnect and the Link LED on the NIC should be lit. If
necessary, refer to the installation manual for the NIC and the PC.
2. Verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and configured on each PC
connected to the OmniConnect. For details concerning this, refer to the
“TCP/IP Network Installation and Configuration” section of your Installation
Guide.
Load OmniStart on the Host PC
Use these steps to install OmniStart on the host PC.
1. Insert the CD-ROM and, if needed, execute the setup.exe file using Run within
the Windows £ 95/NT Start button or by using Windows £ Explorer.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the applications on the PC and
run the configuration applications. The process starts by displaying the
OmniStart Welcome screen, then automatically copies files to the PC, and
begins the configuration. (You will need the work sheet information your
prepared in Chapter 1 during the configuration.) For descriptions of some of
the required configuration screens, refer to “Configuration screens.”
The simple installation described here is for a configuration that does not have an
established network and uses the OmniConnect as a DHCP server to dynamically
allocate IP address for each client PC. For specific configuration information
when using the OmniConnect with an established network, or to define filters,
DHCP parameters, or other Advanced Setup Options, refer to your Installation
Guide.
Configuration screens
The OmniStart configuration and setup utility has several screens. In most cases
the onscreen setup instructions allow you to quickly and simply install and
configure the OmniConnect. This section presents some of the mandatory
screens where the user must enter information for a simple installation.
