products (up to 11 Mbps) and 802.11g products (up to 54 Mbps) in home or office
environments, and with public hotspots. Additionally, your wireless network can be secured
using WEP, WPA or WPA2.

Connecting computers to the Cerberus
Computers and other network devices can be connected to the Cerberus in two ways as
described below.
Wired connections (LAN interface)
All Ethernet (LAN) ports on the router support Auto-MDIX functionality, which enables and
disables crossover automatically, as required. With the autonegotiation feature, the router
also automatically selects the highest connection speed available. For 10/100 Mbps
transfers, a Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable is required, terminated with RJ-45 connectors
according to TIA/EIA-568-A/B. One end of the cable should be connected to a computer’s
network adapter, and the other to one of the router’s LAN ports. If the connection is
correct, the LED indicator corresponding to the LAN port will light up.
Wireless connections (WLAN interface)
In order to connect a computer to the Cerberus using a wireless network, the WLAN adapter
must be installed correctly in the system, and the router must be located within the
operating range of the wireless adapter and belong to the same subnet.
Configuring network properties
Before a connection (wired or wireless) can be established between your computer and the
router, TCP/IP must be configured in the operating system (this protocol should be installed
automatically by the system when installing network adapter drivers). It is recommended to
configure TCP/IP so that the IP address and other connection settings are obtained from the
router’s DHCP server. This configuration is described below for various Windows systems.
Note: In some cases, a computer running Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP Service
Pack 3 may not obtain an IP address from the router’s DHCP server. To solve this issue,
please follow the instructions provided on the Microsoft technical support website at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233/en-us .
Windows Vista/7
Note: You need administrative privileges to perform network configuration. During
configuration, it may be necessary to click Allow (Windows Vista) or Yes (Windows 7) in the
User Account Control dialog, and provide an administrative user name and password if the
current user does not have administrative privileges.
1.Click Start →Control Panel.
