Overview
Features
Networking
The main features of the KX-HGW200 are described as follows:
For Home Network
The KX-HGW200 has three types of network interface: HomePNA 2.0,
10 Base-T Ethernet and wireless.
It supports AppleTalk®network system (EtherTalk®interface network),
TCP/IP and IPXTM(Novell®) protocols simultaneously.
≥ HomePNA 2.0 connection (using existing telephone lines):
Communication speed is a max.10 Mbps.
The HomePNA can transmit and receive data at rates up to 10 Mbps over
any standard home telephone wiring. It links two or more computers by
using your existing phone wiring. While the HomePNA passes information
over your home’s phone wiring, you can use your telephone without
disrupting regular phone service. You will need one HomePNA card and
one modular phone line with standard RJ-11 male phone plugs attached
at each end for each computer that you want to connect to the home
network.
≥ 10 Base-T Ethernet connection (using category 5 straight cable):
Communication speed is a max.10 Mbps.
In order to network more than one computer using Ethernet, an optional
Ethernet hub is required.
≥ Wireless connection (using optional Panasonic wireless cards
KX-HGC200):
Communication speed is a max.11 Mbps.
6
Internet Sharing
The KX-HGW200 has an interface to the Internet (TO MODEM port). This
interface enables you to connect to the Internet via a cable/xDSL modem
with category 5 straight cable. All users can have an Internet access
simultaneously via a single IP (Internet Protocol) address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server and Client
DHCP client function
≥ If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has a DHCP server function, the
KX-HGW200 receives its configuration information automatically from the
ISP.
DHCP server function
≥ The KX-HGW200 can automatically assign a local IP address to each
computer in the home network.
Security
IP Masquerade Function
≥ The KX-HGW200 uses IP masquerade as the default function. This
function translates the local IP address of a computer in the home
network into one global IP address. The IP masquerade function can act
as a firewall for your home network, because the local IP address can
never be known to anyone outside of the home network.

Installation
Before installing the KX-HGW200
≥The computer communicates with your ISP
through cable/xDSL modem.
≥Then the computer sends your account
information to your ISP, and the ISP checks
whether or not you are a member.
That’s why computer stores all the information
for ISP recognition, i.e., login name and
password.
Before you install the KX-HGW200, please confirm that you can
access the Internet with its current connection to a cable/xDSL
modem.
If you can not connect to the Internet from your computer, please set
up your computer to access the Internet according to the instructions
given by your cable/xDSL service provider before installing the
KX-HGW200.
For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033
After installing the KX-HGW200
≥The KX-HGW200 communicates with your
ISP instead of your computer. Therefore, the
KX-HGW200 needs to hold the same
account information as your computer
would.
≥If you currently use a cable/xDSL modem
without the KX-HGW200, all the ISP
information that needs to be entered in the
KX-HGW200 is in your computer.
Please see p. 21 for details on how to collect
the information you have to enter in the
KX-HGW200.

To connect computers using the HomePNA:
Note:
For using HomePNA:

computer first.
≥To avoid interference with the HomePNA signals, do not use an
ADSL filter, which may have been provided by your phone company,
on the telephone line or on the line that runs in between the
telephone jack and computer. If you have two lines installed and one
of them is dedicated to phone use, you can use the ADSL filter on
that phone line only.
≥Use the telephone line that does not have the ADSL filter for your
HomePNA connection.
Make sure the computer is turned off.
