| FlexClock - How to Check if your Network uses a DHCP IP or Static IP | ||||||
| ||||||
| Before configuring the FlexClock it is always best to check with the clients internal network administrator or IT department about the type of connection (DHCP or Static IP) required to set up the Internet in a new computer, which is the same for the FlexClock. There is an easy way to check via PC. To ensure the data we are accessing is correct you will need to connect the PC's Internet (LAN) connection to the port the FlexClock will be plugged into as the information may be different from another port in the building on their network. If this is not possible you may still be able to do this on a already connected near by computer but there still may be a chance that the port you will be using for the FlexClock is configured differently: 1. In windows open a windows console (command prompt) on a Windows computer: - Windows XP: Click on Start -> Run -> Write ‘cmd’ on the white box and press ok. - Windows Vista: Click on the Windows Oval (Start) -> Write ‘cmd’ on the search box, and open the command prompt. 2. Type ‘ipconfig /all’ and press Enter 3. On the information displayed search for something saying "DHCP Enabled", it should say yes if DHCP is enable or No if it isn't.
