Step 3: Configuring the TCP/IP protocol  
Step 3: Configuring the TCP/IP protocol  
A networking protocol is a language computers use to talk to each  
other. One of several available protocols must be set up on each  
computer you plan to use on your network. We recommend  
you use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol  
(TCP/IP), which is widely accepted and compatible for local  
area networks (LANs), as well as for Internet communications.  
When networking is set up in Windows XP, TCP/IP is  
automatically installed as the default protocol.  
Terms you should know  
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lets a  
router automatically assign an IP address to a computer on the  
network.  
IP Address - Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that  
uniquely identifies a computer on the network.  
Setting up a DHCP IP address for each  
computer  
In order to use the TCP/IP protocol on each computer, you  
must either set the protocol to Obtain an IP address from a DHCP  
server or make the IP address settings manually. If you use a  
wireless access point router that can act as the DHCP server,  
you can select Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. Obtaining  
an IP address automatically using DHCP is one of the most  
common methods for setting up wireless network devices.  
If your network configuration requires a static IP address (one  
that does not change), you must set the IP address manually.  
This means that you need to enter an IP address and a subnet  
mask. For more information about setting the IP address  
manually, see the Setting Up Your Wireless Windows Network  
guide included on the installation CD that came with your  
network device.  
If you are connecting to a home Ethernet network, have a cable  
or DSL modem, and a wireless access point router that  
automatically assigns IP addresses to computers on the  
network, follow the instructions in “To set up a DHCP IP  
address:” on page 14.

Chapter 1: Windows XP  
Turning the wireless emitter off  
Radio frequency wireless communication can  
Warning  
interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.  
Current aviation regulations require wireless  
devices to be turned off while traveling in an  
airplane. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and IEEE  
802.11g communication devices are examples of  
devices that provide wireless communication.  
You can turn off the wireless emitter to conserve the battery  
charge on your notebook computer or to make a computer  
unavailable on the network. There are times, such as when you  
are flying in an aircraft, when you should turn off your wireless

Wireless Guidance  
The WBU-110 802.11b wireless LAN (low  
power Radio Frequency, RF, transmitting  
device) operates in the 2400 - 2483.5  
MHz band. The following section is a  
general overview of considerations while  
operating the wireless LAN.  
Limitations, cautions, and concerns are  
listed below and in the specific country  
sections (or country group sections). This  
wireless device is only qualified for use  
in the countries identified by the Radio  
Approval Marks on the device rating  
label. If the country you will be using the  
wireless device in is not listed, please  
39  
   
Appendix B: Safety, Regulatory, and Legal Information  
contact that countries local Radio Approval agency for  
requirements prior to operation. Wireless devices are closely  
regulated and use may not be allowed.  
The power output of the WBU-110 wireless LAN device is well  
below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because  
this wireless device emits less energy than is allowed in radio  
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Gateway  
believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power  
levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during  
normal operation.  
Measurements have been performed to show that the RF  
exposure is below what is considered safe limits; however, care  
should be taken to make sure that the user or bystanders keep  
the transmitter away from their bodies when the wireless  
device is transmitting. The transmitting antenna should be  
installed and used in a manner to maintain 20 cm (8 inches)  
from user’s or bystanders’ bodies.  
This wireless device is intended to be used indoors. In some  
areas, use of this device outdoors is prohibited.  
40  
Some circumstances require restrictions on using wireless  
devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:  
Radio frequency wireless communication can  
interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.  
Warning  
Current aviation regulations require wireless devices  
to be turned off while traveling in an airplane.  
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g (also known as  
wireless Ethernet or Wifi) communication devices are  
examples of devices that provide wireless  
communication. For more information about turning  
off the wireless device, see “Turning the wireless  
emitter off” on page 16 and “Turning the wireless  
emitter off” on page 35.  
In environments where the risk of interference to other  
Warning  
devices or services is harmful or perceived as  
harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be  
restricted or eliminated. Airports, hospitals, and  
oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are  
limited examples where use of wireless devices may  
be restricted or eliminated. When in environments  
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use  
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for  
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless  
device.  
Every country has different restrictions on the use of  
Warning  
wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with  
a wireless device, when traveling between countries  
with your system, check with the local Radio Approval  
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions  
on the use of a wireless device in the destination  
country.  
Do not operate the wireless device unless all covers  
Warning  
and shields are in place and the system is fully  
assembled.  
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not  
Warning  
modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless  
device will void the authorization to use it. Contact  
Gateway for service.

Unintentional emitter per FCC Part 15  
This device has been tested and found to comply with the  
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the  
FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable  
protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate  
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception. However, there is  
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio  
and television reception, which can be determined by turning  
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to  
correct the interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different  
from that to which the receiver is connected  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for  
help.
