Chapter 1 – Introduction
A look at the Gateway Hardware
Front Panel The Intel Gateway’s front panel has a series of eight
lights (plus a power on indicator) that provide information about the gateway’s operational status.

Power Normally this light is on. If it is not on, check
that the power cable connectors are securely in place.
System Green blinking - The gateway is operating
correctly.
Yellow blinking - The gateway is operating correctly but has detected another DHCP server connected to one of the four Ethernet connectors. Disconnect each Ethernet cable, one at a time, until the system returns to green blinking. Change the PC you've identified as a DHCP server to a DHCP client. (See the Troubleshooting chapter for instructions.)
If this LED is not blinking, the system is not operating correctly. See Chapter 5 for troubleshooting information.

Internet Off - the DSL driver is not loaded.
Green blinking - the gateway is trying to connect to the Internet.
Green solid - the gateway is connected to your ISP but no traffic is being passed.
Amber blinking - the gateway is connected to your ISP and traffic is being passed. This LED blinks at a rate that corresponds to the amount of Internet traffic (slow with little traffic and increasingly faster as Internet traffic increases).
Security Green solid - The Firewall Settings Security
Level is set to: Normal, High, or Very High.
Red solid - The Firewall Settings Security Level is set to: Enable Troubleshooting Mode (via the Firewall Settings Advanced button).
Yellow blinking - A user, that is not allowed access to your wireless network (via Advanced > Wireless Security), is attempting to connect to the gateway.

Chapter 2 Configuring your DSL Settings
The Installation Guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and configuring a single wired or wireless PC connected to the gateway.
During installation, you have the option of letting setup automatically detect your settings or setting these manually.
If you accept the default selection, allowing the gateway to automatically detect your settings, then you should only need to enter minimal information, if any at all.
If you elect to set your settings manually, then you will have to step through several screens to complete the setup.

More about Each computer or networked device on the Internet is
identified by a unique IP address. Your gateway must be identified by the correct address in order for you to access the Internet.
Your ISP uses one of two methods to assign an IP address to you:
Dynamic (also called server-assigned, automatic, or DHCP). If your ISP assigns IP addresses dynamically, your gateway receives an IP address from a pool of IP addresses when you connect to

your ISP. Your ISP “owns” the IP addresses in the pool.
Static (also called permanent). If your ISP assigns static IP addresses, your provider selects an address from an assigned pool and assigns it to you permanently. This number is provided on the setup information page given to you by your ISP.

the same network must use the same Network Name (SSID) and Encryption Password (if encryption is enabled). In this screen you enter the Network Name. On a subsequent screen you will specify an Encryption Password.
Note Network Name is also referred to as SSID,
ESSID, BSSID, or network code.

More about
Channel In areas where many networks are using the same
channel, throughput on all the networks may decline. In addition, if there is interference on the channel, signal quality is affected. If the performance of your network declines, try selecting another channel. It is recommended that you try channels 6 and 11 first as alternative channels. The default channel is 6.

Transfer Rate By default, the transfer rate between wireless
devices is automatically determined. Generally, you will not need to change this value. However, decreasing the transfer rate may enable you to transmit across greater distances.
Header Length (Preamble) The Header length is the format for labeling the
information sent between devices. The only available setting is Long. The short header length is not supported because not all wireless devices support this feature. You must set all your other wireless devices, to which the gateway is connected, to Long (typically the default setting).

Changing or disabling encryption settings
In a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), you can use encryption to implement security and protect your information. The default encryption setting is 40/64-bit hexadecimal. Network encryption does not provide absolute protection for your data, but it does make it more difficult for someone else to intercept that data. It is recommended that you utilize the encryption feature of this product.

4 Select an encryption option then enter the required
information in the fields associated with that selection. See the following topics for more information.
More about The longer the encryption key is, the stronger the
encryption. The gateway uses either a 40(64)-bit key or a 104(128)-bit key. A 104(128)-bit key has several trillion times more combinations than a 40(64)-bit key. For added security, you should change your encryption key often.
Important! The gateway and each adapter in the
network must have the same encryption keys.

Configuring the gateway’s firewall
The gateway includes a built-in firewall set to a Normal security level, by default. A “Normal” security level means that internal processes or modules such as the Universal Plug and Play Internet Gateway Device (UPnP IGD) have permission to dynamically auto-configure port-forward rules in their respective domains to provide ease of use. It also means that HTTP UI smart port-forwarding is enabled. As a result, Internet applications that require user configured port-forwarding rules are available.
