Installation
The followings are instructions for setting up the Wireless Connect Gateway. Refer to the
illustration and follow the simple steps below to quickly install your Wireless Connect
Gateway.
Wall-Mounting
The Wireless Connect Gateway can be mounted on a wall by applying the two mounting
brackets on screws.
Figure 4 Wall-Mounting Bracket - Bottom of Wireless Connect Gateway
Please refer to the following instructions for mounting a Wireless Connect Gateway on a wall
or other surface.

Figure 5

ACCESS GATEWAY
14 Installation
2. Hang Wireless Connect Gateway on the wall by sliding the two screws in the mounting
brackets.
Note: If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the cables connected to the Wireless
Connect Gateway rear panel connectors could pull out the Wireless Connect Gateway from the
wall.
Connecting the Antennas
The Wireless Connect Gateway provides three antenna connectors on the rear of the
unit.
Figure 6 Antenna Connectors
Installation Requirements
Before installing the Wireless Connect Gateway, make sure your network meets the following
requirements.
System Requirements
The Wireless Connect Gateway requires one of the following types of software:
Windows 98 Second Edition/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7
Red Hat Linux 7.3 or later version
MAC OS X 10.2.4 or later version
Any TCP/IP-enabled systems like Mac OS and UNIX (TCP/IP protocol installed)
Web Browser Software (Microsoft I.E 5.0 or later version or Netscape Navigator 5.0
or later version)
One computer with an installed 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet card

ACCESS GATEWAY
Installation 15
UTP network Cable with a RJ-45 connection (Package contents)
Note: Prepare twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs. Use Cat.5 cable for all connections. Make sure
each cable does not exceed 328 feet (Approximately 100 meters).
ISP Requirements
Verify whether your ISP uses fixed or dynamic IP. If it is a fixed IP, be sure to get the
IP from your ISP. For dynamic IP, which is mostly used, the PC will get the IP
automatically whenever it hooks to the modem.
Dynamic IP
Dynamic IP Setting
Fixed IP
Your fixed IP address for the Wireless Connect Gateway
Your subnet mask for the Wireless Connect Gateway
Your default gateway IP address
Your DNS IP address
PPPoE
Your user name from your ISP
Your password from your ISP
PPTP
PPTP Server IP Address from your ISP
PPTP Local IP address from your ISP.
PPTP Local IP subnet mask from your ISP.
Your user name from your ISP
Your password from your ISP
Your PC Requirements
The Static IP settings for the PC
Your PC’s fixed IP address
Your PC’s subnet mask

ACCESS GATEWAY
16 Installation
Your PC’s default gateway IP address
Your PC’s primary DNS IP address
Note: The gateway’s default IP address setting is “10.59.1.1”. The gateway’s default subnet mask
setting is “255.0.0.0”.
The Dynamic IP settings for the PC
We recommend that you leave your IP settings as automatically assigned. By default, the
Wireless Connect Gateway is a DHCP server, and it will give your PC the necessary IP
settings.
Getting Started
1. Place the Wireless Connect Gateway and VP 20 Printer on a flat work surface.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Wireless Connect Gateway’s Eth port.
3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the VP 20 Account Generator Printer’s
RJ45 port.
4. Ensure that your modem and computer are both switched on.
5. Use the supplied cable to connect the Wireless Connect Gateway's WAN port to the
modem. Check that the modem or router Status LED lights show a link present.
6. Connect your computer to one of the 10/100 Eth ports on the Wireless Connect Gateway.
Check that the Eth Port Status LED lights.
7. Configure the further parameters via a Web browser.
