1. Introduction
The PLANET Wireless Subscriber Gateway – WSG-403 is a compact intelligent gateway integrated with a four-port port-based VLAN
switch. It provides Plug’ Play Internet access, advanced security and network management.
The WSG-403 is designed for service providers, system integrator or hotspot venue operator without backend-RADIUS-Server to have
integrated solution for rapid deployment, which can start hotspot service quickly and easily and enhance service performance.
The WSG-403 is an ideal solution for hotel lobbies, coffee bars, airport lounges, conference facilities and other sites that commonly host
business travelers, and offers instant high-speed Internet connections. With its IP Plug and Play technology, it accepts any client
configuration login, when client open browser the WSG-403 immediately recognizes new end-user and redirects their browser to
customized Web pages. There’s no need for end-user to change any of their default network (Static IP), e-mail (SMTP Server behind
firewall), or browser settings (HTTP Proxy) or load any special software to access hotspot service. It’s completely Plug’ Play with any
browser.

2. Installation
The followings are instructions for setting up the WSG-403. Refer to the illustration and follow the simple steps below to quickly install
your WSG-403.
2.1 Wall-Mounting
The WSG-403 can be wall-mounted on a wall by applying the two mounting brackets on screws.
Figure 2-1 Wall-Mounting Bracket - Bottom of WSG-403
Please refer to the following instructions for mounting a WSG-403 on a wall or other surface.
1. Install two screws on a wall according to the relative positions shown below.
Figure 2-2
2. Hang WSG-403 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 WSG-403 rear panel connectors could pull out the
WSG-403 from the wall.
2.2 Connecting the Antennas
The WSG-403 provides two antenna connectors on the rear of the unit.
WSG-403 User Guide

Figure 2-3 Antenna Connectors
2.3 Installation Requirements
Before installing the WSG-403, make sure your network meets the following requirements.
2.3.1 System Requirements
The WSG-403 requires one of the following types of software:
zWindows 98 Second Edition/NT/2000/XP
zRed Hat Linux 7.3 or later version
zMAC OS X 10.2.4 or later version
zAny TCP/IP-enabled systems like Mac OS and UNIX (TCP/IP protocol installed)
zStandard phone line for xDSL modem
Or
Coaxial cable for Cable modem
zWeb Browser Software (Microsoft I.E 5.0 or later version or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or later version)
zOne computer with an installed 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet card
zUTP 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 not exceed 328 feet
(Approximately 100 meters).
2.3.2 ISP Requirements
Verify whether your ISP use 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 up on the modem.

2.3.3 Your PC Requirements
The Static IP settings for the PC
zYour PC’s fixed IP address
zYour PC’s subnet mask
zYour PC’s default gateway IP address
zYour PC’s primary DNS IP address
Note:
1. The gateway’s default IP address setting is “192.168.0.1”.
2. The gateway’s default subnet mask setting is “255.255.255.0”.
The Dynamic IP settings for the PC
We recommend that you leave your IP settings as automatically assigned. By default, the WSG-403 is a DHCP server, and it will give
your PC the necessary IP settings.
Note:
Before turn on the WSG-403, make sure there is no other DHCP server in the LAN network, otherwise it will influence the whole
network operation.
2.4 Getting Start
1. Place the WSG-403 and WSG-ACG3 Printer on a flat work surface.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the WSG-403’s LAN port.
3. [optional] Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the WSG-ACG3Account Generator Printer’s RJ45 port.
4. Ensure that your modem and computer are both switched on.
5. Use the supplied cable to connect the WSG-403's WAN port to the modem. Check that the Cable/xDSL Status LED lights.
6. Connect your computer to one of the 10/100 LAN ports on the WSG-403. Check that the LAN Port Status LED lights.
7. Configure the further parameters via a Web browser.
