1. Ensure the WSG-500 and the Cable/DSL modem are powered OFF before

Hint

commencing. Leave your Cable/DSL modem connected to its wall socket (phone

line or cable input).

2. Use Ethernet cables to connect to the LAN2 port on the front panel. Connect
the other end of the Ethernet cable to an AP or Switch. (Note: Authentication is
required for the clients to access the network via LAN2 port. The LAN port with
authentication function is referred to as Public LAN).

3. Use Ethernet cables to connect to the LAN1 port on the front panel. Connect the
other end of the Ethernet cable to a PC. (Note: Authentication is NOT required
for the clients to access the network via LAN1 port. The LAN port with authenti-
cation function is referred to as Private LAN).

4. Connect your Cable/DSL Modem to the WAN port on the front panel. Use the

User Login

Hint

1. Connect a client device (e.g. laptop, PC) to the LAN2 port or wireless interface
of WSG-500.

2. The client device will obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP from
WSG-500. Open a web browser on a client device, access any URL, and then the
default User Login Page will appear.

3. Enter the Username and Password of an on-demand account previously gener­ated via Setup Wizard (e.g. “testuser@ondemand” as the Username and
“testuser” as the Password), then click Submit.

1. The format of a full (valid) username is userid@postfix, where
“userid” is the user ID and “postfix” is the name of the selected

authentication option.

2. Exception: The postfix can be omitted only when the default
authentication option is used. For example, “ONDEMAND” is the
default authentication option at this system; therefore, you may
enter either “testuser” or “testuser@ondemand” in the Username
field.

Congratulations!

The Login Success Page will appear after a client has successfully logged into WSG-

500 and has been authenticated by the system.

The appearance of Login Success Page means that WSG-500 has been installed
and congured properly.
