2. Gateway Overview
Your gateway has many ports, switches and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options.
Depending upon your model of gateway, your gateway may have some or all of the features
listed below
2.1 Ports and Buttons
(1 Port Ethernet Gateway)
(1 Port Wireless Gateway)
(4 Ports Ethernet Gateway)
(4 Ports Wireless Gateway)
RESET: The RESET button will set the gateway to its factory default setting and reset the
gateway. You may need to place the gateway into its factory defaults if the configuration is
changed, you loose the ability to enter the gateway via the web interface, or following a
software upgrade, and you loose the ability to enter the gateway. To reset the gateway,
simply press the reset button for more than 10 seconds. The gateway will be reset to its
factory defaults and after about 30 seconds the gateway will become operational again.
POWER: Connect the power adapter that came the Gateway. Using a power supply with a
different voltage rating will damage this product. Make sure to observe the proper power
requirements. The power requirement is 12 volts.
LAN (local area network) port(s): Connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC, hub,
switch, or router. Some gateways come with a single LAN connection and some come with
four LAN connections. Depending on the connection, you may need a cross over cable or a
strait through cable.
USB (universal serial port): Connects this port to a PC’s USB port. The gateway only
supports Window’s based PCs via an RNDIS driver (included in the software).
ADSL port: This is the WAN interface which connects directly to your phone line.

2.2 LED Description
(1 Port Ethernet Gateway)
(1 Port Wireless Gateway)
(4 Ports Ethernet Gateway)
(4 Ports Wireless Gateway)
Power LED: The LED stays lighted to indicate the system is power on properly.
WAN LED: This LED is lighted when the WAN connection is established and flashes when
the WAN port is sending/receiving data.
WLAN LED: This LED is lighted when a wireless link is established and flashes when the
data is sending/receiving via wireless. (wireless models)
PPP LED: This LED is lighted when a PPP link is established and flashes when the data is
sending/receiving via PPP. (Ethernet models)
LAN LED: The LED is lighted when a connection is established to LAN port and flashes when
LAN port is sending/receiving data. (The number of LAN ports depends on your model.)
USB LED: The LED is lighted when a connection is established to USB port and flashes
when USB port is sending/receiving data.

3. Installing Your Gateway
1. Locate an optimum location for the gateway.
2. For connections to the Ethernet and DSL interfaces, refer to the quick start guide.
3. Connect the AC Power Adapter. Depending upon the type of network, you may want to put
the power supply on an uninterruptible supply. Only use the power adapter supplied with the
gateway. A different adapter may damage the product.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to Chapter 4: Setting up your
gateway

4. Setting up Your Gateway
This section will guide you through your gateway’s configuration. The gateway is shipped with
a standard default bridge configuration; for most users, you may want to change the gateway
from a bridge to a router.
4.1 Log into Your Gateway
To configure your gateway, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this
point; this is normal. Don’t panic. Continue following these directions. Type the default IP
address (192.168.1.1) Press the Enter key and the following screen, shown in Figure 1 will
appear. The default user name is Admin (case sensitive) and the password is Admin (case
sensitive).
Note: Before setting up your gateway, make sure you have followed the quick start guide. You
should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on your
browser. Also if you access the Gateway, and instead of getting a login screen, the browser
instead displays a login redirection screen, you should check your browser's setting, and
verify that JavaScript support is enabled. Also, if you do not get the screen shown in Figure 1,
you may need to delete your temporary Internet files (basically flush the cached web pages).

4.2 Home Screen
The first screen (Figure 2) that appears (after the log in screen) is the Home screen. From this
screen the user can setup the modem (configure the LAN and WAN connection(s), configure
the advanced configuration options within the modem (security, routing, and filtering), access
tools that are helpful for debug purposes, obtain the status of the modem, and view the
extensive online help.
The basic layout of the Home page consists of a page selection list across the top of the
browser window. The footer displays gateway status, connection information, and other useful
information. The center display is where most of the configuration will take place.

4.3 Setup
To setup your gateway with a basic configuration, from the Home page, select Setup. Figure
3 illustrates the setup page. The page is broken into two subsections the WAN configuration
and the LAN configuration.
Before configuring the Gateway, there are several concepts that you should be familiar with
on how your new Gateway works. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these
concepts, as it should make the configuration much easier.
Figure 3 (Setup page)
4.3.1 Wide Area Network Connection
On the other side of the Gateway is where your Wide Area Network (WAN) connection; also
referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN
supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be in this area.
4.3.2 Local Area Network Connection
On one side of your Gateway, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections.
This is where you plug in your local computers to the Gateway. The Gateway is normally
configured to automatically provide all the PC's on your network with Internet addresses.
4.4 Configuring the WAN
Before the gateway will pass any data between the LAN interface(s) and the WAN interface,
the WAN side of the modem must be configured. Depending upon your DSL service provider
or your ISP, you will need some (or all) of the information outlined below before you can
properly configure the WAN:
• Your DSL line VPI and VCI
• Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing
• Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)
