Getting Started

Remove or Disable Conflicting Applications

Internet sharing software and PC based firewall applications typically interfere with the 2Wire gateway, and should be removed or disabled before you install the gateway. The 2Wire gateway provides the same features as the products listed below.

If you have any of the following (or similar) applications installed on your computers, remove or disable them according to the manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding.

Internet Sharing Applications Proxy Software Security Software

Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing Wingate Norton Internet Security

Intel Anypoint ISS Sygate Black Ice

3Com HomeClick Zone Alarm

Check Your Computer’s Browser and System Requirements

Verify that your computers meet the following minimum requirements:

Browser Requirements

Windows: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher (included on the 2Wire Setup Wizard CD), Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher, or Firefox 1.0 or higher.

Macintosh: Safari 1.0, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, or Netscape 4.74 or higher.

System Requirements

• 5 MB of available hard disk space for 2Wire gateway software.

• Windows 98, 98SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Mac OS 8.6 or higher

• Network adapter (such as Ethernet, USB, or wireless).

Connect the First Computer to the Gateway

Congratulations on the purchase of your 2Wire gateway. To install your gateway and configure your network, follow these steps.

Note: Features for different models may vary. Product details will be specified for each particular

model.

Choose a Computer and Connection Type

There are many ways to set up your network, but typically the first computer is located in the same room as the gateway and your DSL connection. Ethernet is the preferred connection method for your first computer, although instructions for connecting via wireless and USB are also provided.

The first computer you connect to the network is used to configure the 2Wire gateway for proper operation. Choose one of the following methods to connect your first computer to the gateway. Save and close all open programs before you begin connecting your gateway.

Install the DSL Filter

Note: New DSL customers only. Existing DSL customers with filters already installed should

proceed to Ethernet Connection on page 4, Wireless Connection on page 5, or USB Connection on page 8.

Regular telephone and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) signals are carried over the same line. Converting your regular telephone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when using the phone.

Installing a filter on every telephone or telephone device sharing the same telephone number as your DSL separates these signals and eliminates the noise.

1. Do not install DSL filters if your telephone line is only carrying a DSL signal.

Connect the First Computer to the Gateway

To install the DSL filter:

1. Locate the phone jack where you want to connect your 2Wire

gateway.

2. Insert the DSL filter into the jack.

3. If you have a phone, answering machine, fax machine, satellite TV

equipment, or other phone device in this jack location, plug it into the filter port labeled

4. Install a DSL filter on all other phone devices in your house (such as dial-up modems, fax machines,

caller ID devices, and set top boxes). Plug each of these devices into the filter port labeled

PHONE.

For Wall-Mounted Phones

If you have a wall-mounted telephone, install a wall-mount DSL filter following these steps.

1. Lift the telephone from the wall pegs and disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack.

2. Connect the telephone cord from the back

of the DSL filter into the wall jack. Align the keyhole slots on the filter with the wall plate pegs and press down gently to secure.

3. Connect the telephone cord to the phone

jack located on the front of the mounted filter.

4. Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the DSL filter and your installation is complete.

Note: The extra phone jack located at the bottom of the filter (labeled LINE) is provided should

you wish to connect your gateway at this phone connection.
