3.1 Before Configuration

This section describes the configuration required by LAN-attached PCs that communicate with

have an Ethernet interface installed properly, be connected to the BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 either
directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain
an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet of the
BIPAC-741 GE V2.0. The default IP address of the BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 is 192.168.1.254 and
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The best and easy way is to configure the PC to get an IP address
from the BIPAC-741 GE V2.0 ADSL Firewall Router. Also, make sure you have
UNINSTALLED any kind of software firewall that can cause problems while accessing the
192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please
check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter
