TCP/IP Setting Manual (for Windows and Mac)

For Windows XP

Step 1.Click Start->Control Panel->select and double click Network and internet connections (If you can´t find it, please go next) ->select and double click Network Connections.

Step 2.Highlight and right-click the Local Area Connection icon; click on Status and go to General. Click the Properties button to open up the properties window.



Step 3.Highlight the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) tab, and then double click it or click Properties. The TCP/IP Properties window will display.



Step 4.Now you have two ways to configure the TCP/IP protocol below:

1. Assigned by DHCP Sever

Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically, as shown in the figure below. These may be selected by default. Then click OK to save setting.



2.Assigned manually

1) Select Use the following IP address, as shown in the following figure.

If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, please type in IP address 192.168.1.x （x is from 2 to 253）, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.1.1.

2) Select Use the following DNS server addresses, as shown in the following figure. And then type the DNS server IP address, which should be provided by your ISP. Finally, remember to click OK to save settings.

Note: In most cases, type your local area DNS server IP addresses into it. The Preferred DNS server is the same as the default gateway. For the Secondary DNS server, you could leave it blank or type in 8.8.8.8.



Step 5. Click OK to save and apply your settings.

For Windows Vista&7

Step1.Click Start ->Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center. 

Step2.In the task list, please click Manage network connections (for Windows Vista)/Change adapter settings (for Windows7). 

Highlight and right-click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. 



Step 3.Select Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4), double click it or click Properties.



Step 4. There are two ways to configure the TCP/IP Properties, Assigned by DHCP server automatically or manually.

1. Assigned by DHCP server

Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. If necessary, then click OK to save the settings.



2. Assigned manually

1) Select Use the following IP address, type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway IP address into it.

If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, please type in IP address 192.168.1.x （x is from 2 to 253）, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.1.1.

2) Select Use the following DNS server addresses, as shown in the following figure. And then type the DNS server IP address, which should be provided by your ISP. If necessary, then click OK to save the settings.

Note: In most cases, type your local area DNS server IP addresses into it.

The Preferred DNS server is the same as the default gateway. For the Secondary DNS server, you could leave it blank or type in 8.8.8.8.



Step 5 Click OK to save and apply your settings.


For Windows 8&8.1

Step1.Go to Control Panel. Here we will illustrate different ways to find a control panel on Windows 8.

Press “Windows key +F”, a search box will come out, please input the control panel and press enter;
Press “Windows key +R”, then there will be a “run” box, input control panel, and press enter;
Press “Windows key +X”, and click on “control panel”;
You can also input “control panel” in the search bar on the right-hand side of the screen.

Step 5.Right-click on Local Area Connection and click Properties



Step 6. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP) then click Properties



Step 7. Change to Use the following IP address and input your IP and DNS information.



Step 8.Click OK to save and apply your settings.


For Windows 10

Step 1.Go to Control Panel. Press Windows key + X at the same time and select Control Panel.



Step2.Click on Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center, click on Change adapter settings on the left side.



Step 3. Highlight and right-click on Ethernet, then select Properties.

Step 4. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 or click Properties.



Step 5.There are two ways to configure the TCP/IP Properties, Assigned by DHCP server automatically or manually.

1. Assigned by DHCP server

Select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically. If necessary, then click OK to save the settings.



2.  Assigned manually

1) Select Use the following IP address, type IP address, subnet mask and default gateway IP address into it.

If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1, please type in IP address 192.168.1.x （x is from 2 to 253）, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and default gateway 192.168.1.1.

2) Select Use the following DNS server addresses, as shown in the following figure. And then type the DNS server IP address, which should be provided by your ISP. If necessary, then click OK to save the settings.

Note: In most cases, type your local area DNS server IP addresses into it.

The Preferred DNS server is the same as to default gateway. For the Secondary DNS server, you could leave it blank or type in 8.8.8.8.



Step 6.Click OK to save and apply your settings.


For Mac OS

Step 1.Click the Apple icon, from the Apple drop-down list, select System Preferences.



Step 2 Click the Network icon.



Step 3 In the left column, select Ethernet. Click on the Configure IPv4 field, and select ‘Manually”



Step 4.Input your IP information (Router is the Default Gateway address) and click Apply.



Note:

1.DNS server should be provided by your ISP. Please contact your ISP to check them.

2.In most cases, you could type your local area DNS server IP addresses into it. The DNS server is the same as the Router LAN IP address. In some cases, you could also leave it blank or type in 8.8.8.8.

Subnetting Calculation

What is subnetting? ISPs allocate IP address ranges to organizations based on the potential number of networks and hosts, or endpoints, that organizations require. Today, the allocations follow the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) assignment method. The organization then subdivides the allocated address space into smaller allocations for each subnetwork within the organization, using a process called subnetting. The result of subnetting is the number of subnetworks increases, while the number of usable host IP addresses decreases. Each subnetwork is known as an IP subnet. Why use subnetting? Subnetting enables assigned network addresses to be broken into smaller, efficient allocations that are more suitable for each network within the organization. For example, a point-to-point WAN link between two routers only needs two addresses, while a LAN segment may need to support many hosts, such as servers, workstations, laptops and Wi-Fi-connected mobile devices. Subnetting and route sum

LAYERS OF OSI MODEL

Image
Layers of OSI Model(Progress 1) OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It has been developed by ISO – ‘International Organization of Standardization‘, in the year 1984. It is a 7 layer architecture with each layer having specific functionality to perform. All these 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the data from one person to another across the globe.  Physical Layer (Layer 1) : The lowest layer of the OSI reference model is the physical layer. It is responsible for the actual physical connection between the devices. The physical layer contains information in the form of bits. It is responsible for transmitting individual bits from one node to the next. When receiving data, this layer will get the signal received and convert it into 0s and 1s and send them to the Data Link layer, which will put the frame back together.  The functions of the physical layer are :   1. Bit synchronization: The physical layer provides the synchronization of the bits by providing a clock. This
