Quick Start
ZoomAirTM IG-4150
Model 4150
This Quick Start contains the instructions you need to install your
ZoomAir IG-4150 Internet Gateway and start building a wireless
network. The IG-4150 can provide wireless Internet access to mul-
tiple Client computers on a network, or it can serve as a wireless
bridge between two or more networks.
The following are the basic steps you need to install your IG-4150:
1Connect the cables to establish an Internet, LAN, or WAN
connection.
2Power up the IG-4150 unit.
3Install the Wireless Client you want to use to configure the
IG-4150. (See the documentation for your Wireless Client.)
4Install the IG-4150 Setup Utility.
5Select a mode for the IG-4150 and configure its settings using
the Setup Utility.

Connecting the Cables
1Press the latches and remove the back cover from the IG.
2Plug the power connector into the power socket on the IG
unit.
3Connect the cable for Internet access (if you want to use the
IG for this purpose):
•For wireless Internet access via Telephone Line, plug
one end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into socket a
(see below) and the other end into a telephone outlet.
In some countries outside North America, you may
need an adapter plug to connect the cable to the out-
let.
•For wireless Internet access via External Devices, such
as an Ethernet-style Cable modem or ADSL modem,
or if you are using a 10BT LAN, plug an RJ-45
Ethernet cable into socket b. Then connect the other
end of the cable to the External Device.
Note: Telephone adapter plugs and the Ethernet cable are
available at your local PC dealer.
4Place the unit on a flat surface and route the cables through
the cable entrance.
5Close the cover by attaching it to the unit and pressing the
latches.

Powering Up the Unit
1Plug the power adapter into an AC power outlet.
CAUTION: After connecting power to the IG, do
not cover the unit or block the airflow to the unit with any
other objects.
2Monitor the LED activity on the unit. The LEDs change
color from Yellow to Red to Green to indicate start-up diag-
nostics. When finished (after approximately 30 seconds), the IG
shows LED activity as listed in the table in Chapter 2 of the
user’s manual.
