Cayman 3500 Series
ADSL Gateway
Quickstart Guide
1.After unpacking your Cayman Gateway shipping carton, decide where
you want to locate the Gateway.
You should install the Gateway near your PC or another location that permits
easy access and visibility. You can lay the Cayman Gateway flat, stand it
upright, or mount it on a wall. Make sure any Ethernet cables are kept away
from power cords, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and other sources of electrical
interference. Put the Gateway in a location where air can circulate freely
around it.
2.Connect the Gateway to the devices on your Ethernet local area network
(LAN).
Connect each computer or other device to a switch port on the back of the
Gateway with an Ethernet cable (maximum length 100 meters). If you need
more than four ports, connect another hub to the Gateway with a standard
Ethernet crossover cable or connect a port on the Gateway to the uplink port
on the other hub with a standard Ethernet cable.
3.Connect the Gateway to the wall jack that supports your DSL service.
Insert one end of the telephone cable in the DSL port on the Gateway back
panel until you feel it lock. Insert the other end of the telephone cable into the
telephone jack connected to your ADSL service.
Note: You may need to use the included DSL line adapter in order to accommodate
the type of phone lines in your location. Some telephone connections have the copper
line cable pairs (the inner and outer pair on your phone jack) reversed. If your first connection attempt fails, use the enclosed line adapter to compensate for this configuration.
4. (Optional) If your Gateway has a wireless 802.11b PCMCIA card, install the
card in the slot.
Some 3500-Series Gateway models are bundled with a Netopia-supplied
802.11b wireless card. Insert the card in the available slot. The Gateway will
sense its presence automatically and no further configuration is required.
Each computer using the wireless network requires its own 802.11b adapter
to be installed in the PC.
5.Connect the power transformer to the power jack on the Gateway back
panel. Plug the power transformer into an appropriate electrical outlet.
When all of your connections are made, the status LEDs on the front of your Cayman
Gateway will light, according to the following diagram:
The following instructions assume that you want to use the automatic configuration and
address sharing features of the Gateway to provide IP information to devices on your
local Ethernet network.
1.Configure your computer to use an IP address on the same TCP/IP network as the Cayman Gateway.

2.To connect additional computers that will use the Gateway’s address
sharing feature repeat Step 1, on page 3.
Determine whether your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has supplied you with a Config-
uration Worksheet identifying the settings you are to use when configuring your Gateway.
If you did not receive a Configuration Worksheet, your Gateway has already been
configured, and no action on your part is needed. You can skip this section and
launch a Web browser to access the Internet.
If you received a Configuration Worksheet, refer to it when configuring your Gateway.
To configure your Gateway:
1.Run a Web browser application, such as Netscape Navigator or
Microsoft Internet Explorer, from the computer on the same network as
the Gateway.
2.Open a session to your Gateway.
Enter http://192.168.1.254 in the Location text box. (If your Configuration
Worksheet tells you to use an IP address other than 192.168.1.254 to log in,
enter
http://< ip-address> .) The browser displays the Welcome page.
For security, you must enter your own Administrative password for accessing
the Cayman Gateway. The Administrative username is Admin. You choose
the password yourself. This username and password are separate from the
username and password you will use to access the Internet. Write them down
in a safe location, or on the bottom of the Cayman Gateway. You will be challenged for this Admin username and password any time that you attempt to
access the Cayman Gateway’s configuration pages. Click Submit .
The browser then displays the Quickstart web page.
3.Transfer the contents of each field on the Configuration Worksheet to
the corresponding field in the Quickstart web page.
4.Click Submit .
This turns on the Alert (“!”) button in the top right corner of the page.
5.Click the Alert button to go to the page to save your changes.
6.Click on the
Save and Restart link.
Congratulations! Once a connection is established, your installation is complete.
You can now go to any Web site by typing the address “URL” in your browser’s
