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 conﬁgur ation.

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.

When all of your connections are made, the status LEDs on the front of your Cayman Gateway will light, according to the following diagram:

LAN - Flash amber for activity

on each attached port on the LAN.

WAN - Flashes amber when training;

Solid green when trained

SYSTEM - Green when power is applied
