PRESENTATION

This guide will enable you to easily install your SAGEM F@st™ 1500 /1500WG modem/ router.

This unit is an ADSL Wi-Fi modem/router integrating three functions:

1. An integrated ADSL modem for a direct connection to your ADSL line.

2. A router enabling you to simultaneously connect several computers to this ADSL line.

3. A wireless access point linking your computers with no additional wiring (SAGEM F@st™ 1500WG only).

This modem/router has three types of local interface for connection with the computers making up your local network:

• 4 Ethernet 10/100BT ports.

• 1 Wi-Fi wireless access point (SAGEM F@st™ 1500WG only).

What is Wi-Fi ? (SAGEM F@st™ 1500WG only) Wi-Fi is a wireless network technology. With it, owing to the SAGEM F@st™ 1500WG modem/router, the various computers connected to this wireless network are able to share your ADSL line. The wireless network complies with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard.

1.1 Prerequisites

The following elements are required before the modem/router can be used:

• a telephone line able to accommodate ADSL transmission,

• a subscription with a high-speed Internet Service Provider,

• a telephone line able to accommodate ADSL transmission,

• a Web browser (preferably Internet Explorer version 5 or later).

The minimum configuration of your computer must be:

• for Windows: Pentium II, 400 MHz, RAM: 128 MB,

• for MacOS: Power PC G3, 233 MHz, RAM: 128 MB,

• 30 MB of available space on your hard disk,

• a monitor with a minimum resolution of 1024 x 768.

If your computer does not have the Wi-Fi function, it will have to be fitted with a Wi-Fi accessory (IEEE 802.11b/g standard).

Several types are available:

- USB Wi-Fi keys

- PCMCIA Wi-Fi cards

- PCI Wi-Fi cards

INSTALLING THE HARDWARE

Installing the ADSL filters

Installing a filter on all the phone plugs used is essential for ensuring that your phone terminals and modem/router operate correctly (3 filters maximum per installation).

Carry out the following steps:

• unplug the telephone cable from your appliance (telephone, fax, etc.),

• insert a filter into the plug,

• plug your appliance back onto the ADSL/RTC separator filter.

Installing the modem/router

2.1 Plugging in the telephone line cord

• Connect one end of the ADSL telephone line

cord (2) to the LINE port on your modem/router.

(2)

Do not insert the line cord in the Ethernet port marked LAN 1 to LAN 4. This may damage your modem/router.

• Connect the other end of the ADSL line cord to one of the ADSL filters on your

installation.

The line cord is the black RJ-11-type cord. Do not mistake it for the RJ-45-type Ethernet cable. The RJ-11 connector is narrower than the RJ-45.

7 Installing the hardware

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 / 1500WG

2.2 Powering up the modem/router

• Connect the cable (4) to the Power port located on the rear panel of the modem/router.

• Connect the power pack to a nearby socket.

• Press on the ON/Off pushbutton (holding it down).

The PWR LED comes on.

(4)

Pushbutton

After a few minutes, the modem/router is automatically synchronized with your ADSL line. The ADSL LED comes on permanently.

If there is no synchronization, refer to the chapter "Troubleshooting" 1 - Absence of ADSL synchronization (see page 26).

You can now connect your computers to the SAGEM F@st™ 1500/1500WG modem/router:

• via the Ethernet interface,

see chapter 3 "Connection via the Ethernet port" ................................................. page 10

• via the wireless network interface (SAGEM F@st™ 1500WG only)

see section entitled "Configuring the wireless network" ...................................... page 17

CONFIGURING THE MODEM/ROUTER

Preliminary configuration

You can configure your modem/router via its HTTP configuration interface. This interface is visible from your Web browser.

This chapter describes the steps making possible:

• access to this HTTP configuration interface,

• configuration of your Internet account on the modem/router,

• access to the Internet.

The SAGEM F@st™ 1500/1500WG is a router. It contains the parameters of your ADSL subscription. It is therefore pointless carrying these parameters over into the properties of your computer.

You are recommended to check that the Internet browser of each computer is configured in the following way:

Internet Explorer, for example

In the Tools menu, click on Internet Options.

In the Connections tab, select "Never dial a connection".

Choice of the port for the modem/router configuration

The router has the following interfaces to be configured:

• Ethernet ports (LAN 1 to LAN 4).

• Wi-Fi interface (802.11b/g).

SAGEM

. recommends configuration via Ethernet ports.

9 Configuring the modem/router

Connection via the Ethernet port

3.1 Wiring

• Connect the Ethernet cable (5) to one of the Ethernet (LAN 1 to LAN 4) ports on the

modem/router.

• Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to your computer's Ethernet card.

LAN 1 to LAN 4

3.2 Configuring the network parameters

The installation CD-ROM enables you to automatically configure your network card in Windows.

Automatic configuration

• Insert the modem/router installation

CD-ROM and the window opposite will come up on the screen.

• Click on Ethernet Use.

Configuring the modem/router 10

SAGEM F@st™ 1500 / 1500WG

• Check that the modem/router is

- connected to the computer via the Ethernet cable,

- powered up.

The application searches for your Ethernet card and integrates the parameters required for communicating with the modem/router.

The following screen will be displayed.

When configuration is complete, the modem/router settings window opens automatically.

You can now access the modem/router's HTTP configurator.

Refer to chapter 4 - "Access to the HTTP configurator", page 12.

If you cannot access your router's HTTP configurator, refer to chapter "Troubleshooting" 2 - Access to the HTTP configurator is impossible (see page 26).
