2. Installation
The followings are instructions for setting up the Wireless Subscriber Gateway. Refer to the illustration
and follow the simple steps below to quickly install your Wireless Subscriber Gateway.
2-1 Wall-Mounting
The Wireless Subscriber Gateway can be wall-mounted on a wall by applying the two mounting
brackets on screws.
Figure 2-1 Wall-Mounting Bracket - Bottom of RA-490 Wireless Subscriber Gateway
Please refer to the following instructions for mounting a Wireless Subscriber Gateway 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 Wireless Subscriber 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
Subscriber Gateway rear panel connectors could pull out the Wireless Subscriber Gateway from
the wall.

15
2-2 Connecting the Antennas
The Wireless Subscriber Gateway provides two antenna connectors on the rear of the unit.
Figure 2-3 Antenna Connectors
2-3 Installation Requirements
Before installing the Wireless Subscriber Gateway, make sure your network meets the following
requirements.
System Requirements
The Wireless Subscriber Gateway requires one of the following types of software:
!Windows 98 Second Edition/NT/2000/XP
!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)
!Standard phone line for xDSL modem
Or
Coaxial cable for Cable modem
!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
!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 not exceed 328 feet (Approximately 100 meters).

16
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.
Dynamic IP
!Dynamic IP Setting
Fixed IP
!Your fixed IP address for the Wireless Subscriber Gateway
!Your subnet mask for the Wireless Subscriber 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
!Your PC’s default gateway IP address
!Your PC’s primary DNS IP address
Note:
1. The gateway’s default IP address setting is “10.59.1.1”.
2. 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
Subscriber Gateway is a DHCP server, and it will give your PC the necessary IP settings.
