INTRODUCING THE GATEWAY

Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com®. In the modern business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial. Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the networking advantage. The OfficeConnect has changed all this, bringing networks to the small office.
The products that compose the OfficeConnect range give you, the small office user, the same power, flexibility, and protection that has been available only to large corporations. Now, you can network the computers in your office, connect them all to a single Internet outlet, and harness the combined power of all of your computers.

For example purposes only, this graphic shows a Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway.
1 Alert LED
Orange
Indicates a number of different conditions, as described below.
Off - The Gateway is operating normally. Flashing quickly - Indicates one of the following conditions:
Front Panel 15
The Gateway has just been started up and is running a self-test
routine, or
The administrator has invoked the Reset to Factory Defaults
command, or
The system software is in the process of being upgraded
In each of these cases, wait until the Gateway has completed the current operation and the alert LED is Off.
Flashing slowly - The Gateway has completed the Reset to Factory Defaults process, and is waiting for you to reset the unit. To do this,
remove power, wait 10 seconds and then re-apply power. The Gateway will then enter the start-up sequence and resume normal operation.
If you have used a cable to reset the unit to Factory Defaults, follow steps 5 to 7 in

Introduction This chapter will guide you through a basic installation of the Gateway,

including:
Connecting the Gateway to the Internet.
Connecting the Gateway to your network.
Setting up your computers for networking with the Gateway.

Safety Information

Positioning the Gateway

WARNING: Please read the before you start.
VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät einschalten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Veuillez lire attentivement la section
importantes de sécurité” avant de mettre en route.
You should place the Gateway in a location that:
is conveniently located for connection to the cable or DSL modem that
will be used to connect to the Internet.
allows convenient connection to the computers that will be connected
to the four LAN ports on the rear panel, if desired.
allows easy viewing of the front panel LED indicator lights, and access
to the rear panel connectors, if necessary.
(Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway only) is centrally located to the wireless
computers that will connect to the Gateway. A suitable location might be on top of a high shelf or similar furniture to optimise wireless
Safety Information” section in Appendix D
Wichtige Sicherheitshinweise”
Consignes
20 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
connections to computers in both horizontal and vertical directions,
allowing wider coverage.
When positioning your Gateway, ensure:
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case
is not restricted. 3Com recommends you provide a minimum of
25 mm (1 in.) clearance.
Using the Rubber
Feet
Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Gateway from moving around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each corner of the underside of your Gateway.

Wall Mounting There are two slots on the underside of the Gateway that can be used for

wall mounting.
When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the power outlet.
You will need two suitable screws to wall mount the unit. To do this:
1 Ensure that the wall you use is smooth, flat, dry and sturdy and make two
screw holes which are 150 mm (5.9 in.) apart.
2 Fix the screws into the wall, leaving their heads 3 mm (0.12 in.) clear of
the wall surface.
3 Remove any connections to the unit and locate it over the screw heads.
When in line, gently push the unit on to the wall and move it downwards to secure.
When making connections, be careful not to push the unit up and off the wall.
Before you Install your Gateway 21
CAUTION: Only wall mount single units, do not wall mount stacked units.

Before you Install your Gateway

Before you install and configure your Gateway, you need the following additional information. If you do not have this information, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Space is provided below for you to record this information.
If you have a DSL connection and your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over PPPoE, you need a User Name and Password:
PPPoE User Name : ______________________
PPPoE Password : ______________________
PPPoE Service Name : ______________________
If you have a DSL connection and your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over PPTP, you need a User Name and Password:
PPTP User Name : ______________________
PPTP Password : ______________________
PPTP Server Address : ____.____.____.____
You only need a PPPoE Service Name or a PPTP Server Address if your ISP requires one. Do not enter anything if your ISP does not require this information.
If your ISP allocates fixed or static IP information, you need the following information:
IP Address : ____.____.____.____
Subnet Mask : ____.____.____.____
Default Gateway address : ____.____.____.____
DNS address : ____.____.____.____
22 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION
If your ISP allocates IP information dynamically over a protocol other than PPPoE, you do not need any further information. This configuration is typical of cable connections.

Powering Up the Gateway

Connecting the Gateway

To power up the Gateway:
1 Plug the power adapter into the power adapter socket located on the
back panel of the Gateway.
2 Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket.
The first step for installing your Gateway is to physically connect it to a cable or DSL modem and then connect it to a computer in order to be able to access the Internet. See Figure 5
Figure 5 Connecting the Gateway
:
For example purposes only, this graphic shows a Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway.
To use your Gateway to connect to the Internet through an external cable or DSL modem:
1 Insert one end of the supplied Ethernet (RJ-45 Category 5) cable into the
Cable/DSL port on the rear panel of the Gateway.
2 Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on your cable or DSL
modem. Check that the Cable/DSL status LED lights on the Gateway.
Connecting the Gateway 23
3 Connect the cable or DSL modem to the Internet. 4 Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Gateway
using a twisted pair cable. Check that the corresponding LAN status LED on the Gateway lights.
You have now completed the hardware installation of your Gateway. Next you need to set up your computers so that they can make use of the Gateway to communicate with the Internet.
3Com recommends that you perform the initial Gateway configuration from a computer that is directly connected to one of the LAN ports.

Wireless Only If you configure the Gateway from a wireless computer, note that you

may lose contact with the Gateway if you change the wireless configuration.
To communicate with the Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway, your wireless NIC should be set as follows:
WEP encryption - none
Service Area Name/SSID - 3Com
Channel - 11
24 CHAPTER 2: HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Obtaining an IP Address Automatically

SETTING UP YOUR COMPUTERS

The Gateway has the ability to dynamically allocate network addresses to the computers on your network, using DHCP. However, your computers need to be configured correctly for this to take place. To change the configuration of your computers to allow this, follow the instructions in this chapter. If your computers are configured with fixed or static addresses and you do not wish to change this, then you should use the Discovery program on the Gateway CD-ROM to detect and configure your Gateway. Refer to Appendix A Discovery program.
