Chapter Two - Using the Internet
Your KIRA Series OS supports both wired and wireless network. Before you
start surfing on the Internet, please follow the steps below to setup your
Internet connection.
2-1 Wired Network Setup
Before proceeding with the setup, please make sure the following:
1. One end of the network cable is properly plugged into your computer's
network adapter port;
2. Plug the other end of the cable into a Switch or Hub which is already part of
a LAN connected to the Internet.
LAN Network with Dynamic IP Allocation (DHCP)
KIRA Series' wired network is automatically set to on. If you are connected to a
LAN configured with dynamic IP allocation (DHCP), the Internet will connect as
soon as you have plugged in the cable.
If you are connected to a wireless network and wish to switch to a wired
network, firstly plug the network cable into the computer. Right click on
the network adapter icon as shown in Picture 2-1 then uncheck the
"Wireless Network" option.
