2. Installation

The followings are instructions for setting up the Wireless Hotspot Gateway . Refer to the illustration and follow the simple steps below to quickly install your Wireless Hotspot Gateway.

2-1 Wall-Mounting

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway can be wall-mounted on a wall by applying the two mounting brackets on screws.

Figure 2-1 Wall-Mounting Bracket - Bottom of Wireless Hotspot Gateway

Please refer to the following instructions for mounting a Wireless Hotspot Gateway on a wall or other surface.

1. Install two screws on a wall according to the relative positions shown below.

Figure 2-2

2. Hang Wireless Hotspot Gateway on the wall by sliding the two screws in the mounting brackets.

2-1.1 Bracket-Mounting

1. Attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in the mounting kits.

SMCWHSG14-G

2. Mount the device in the rack, using three rack-mountings screws.

Note: If the screws are not properly anchored, the strain of the cables connected to the Wireless

Hotspot Gateway rear panel connectors could pull out the Wireless Hotspot Gateway from the wall.

2-2 Connecting the Antennas

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway provides two antenna connectors on the rear of the unit.

2-3 Installation Requirements

Before installing the Wireless Hotspot Gateway, make sure your network meets the following requirements.

System Requirements

The Wireless Hotspot Gateway requires one of the following types of software:

z Windows 98 Second Edition/NT/2000/XP z Red Hat Linux 7.3 or later version z MAC OS X 10.2.4 or later version z Any TCP/IP-enabled systems like Mac OS and UNIX (TCP/IP protocol installed) z Standard phone line for xDSL modem

Or Coaxial cable for Cable modem z Web Browser Software (Microsoft I.E 5.0 or later version or Netscape Navigator 5.0 or later

version)

z One computer with an installed 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet card z UTP network Cable with a RJ-45 connection (Package contents)

Note: Prepare twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs. Use Cat.5 cable for all connections. Make sure

each cable not exceed 328 feet (Approximately 100 meters).

SMCWHSG14-G

ISP Requirements

Verify whether your ISP use fixed or dynamic IP. If it is a fixed IP , be sure to get the IP from your ISP. For dynamic IP, which is mostly used, the PC will get the IP automatically whenever it hooks up on the modem.

Dynamic IP

z Dynamic IP Setting

Fixed IP

z Your fixed IP address for the Wireless Hotspot Gateway z Your subnet mask for the Wireless Hotspot Gateway z Your default gateway IP address z Your DNS IP address

PPPoE

Your PC Requirements The Static IP settings for the PC

z Your PC’s fixed IP address z Your PC’s subnet mask z Your PC’s default gateway IP address z Your PC’s primary DNS IP address

Note:

1. The gateway’s default IP address setting is “192.168.2.1”.

2. The gateway’s default subnet mask setting is “255.255.0.0”.

The Dynamic IP settings for the PC

We recommend that you leave your IP settings as automatically assigned. By default, the Wireless Hotspot Gateway is a DHCP server, and it will give your PC the necessary IP settings.

SMCWHSG14-G

2-4 Getting Start
