Introduction

In a few minutes you will be able to access the Internet using your Thomson Gateway.

This Setup and User Guide will show you how to set up your Thomson Gateway and how to connect your computer(s) to the Internet.

Main features

As soon as you have completed the installation of your Thomson Gateway you will be able to benefit from all the services offered by your Thomson Gateway. This Setup and User Guide will focus on the following features:

 Broadband Internet connection.

The first chapter describes how to connect your Thomson Gateway to the Internet.

 Wired and wireless access to your local network devices.

For more information, see “1.4 Connecting a Computer Using the Ethernet Cable” on page 12 and

“3 Wireless Access” on page 23.

 Voice over IP (VoIP) connectivity for traditional phones and IP phones.

For more information see “4 Telephony” on page 31

 Useful networking tools like UPnP, Dynamic DNS and many more.

For more information, see “7 Thomson Gateway Tools” on page 57.

 Internet Security:

For more information, see “8 Internet Security” on page 67.

Before you can start to use these features, we will first set up your Thomson Gateway.

1.1 Before you start

DSL Service

The DSL service must be activated on your telephone line by your service provider.

Decoupling the voice and DSL signal

As soon as the DSL service is activated two kinds of signals will be available on your telephone line:

 Voice signals

 DSL signals

To ensure the sound quality of your phone calls, the DSL signal must be omitted from the telephone line before it reaches your phone, otherwise you might hear a noise in the background when using your phone.

Filters and splitters

To split the DSL signal from the telephone line, you can use one of the following solutions:

 A splitter that splits the telephone signal into a DSL and Voice signal.

 A filter between your telephone outlet and your phone. This filter removes the DSL signal and passes the

Voice signal.

This filter may also be integrated in your Thomson Gateway.

E-DOC-CTC-20090619-0001 v1.0

How do I know if my Thomson Gateway has an integrated filter?

PSTN

Thomson Gateways:

 With an integrated filter have no PSTN port on their back panel.

 Without integrated filter have a PSTN port on their back panel.

Here you will have to put a filters/splitter between the telephone outlet and your Thomson Gateway.

Wireless connection

1 Installation

If you want to connect your computer using a wireless connection, you will need a WiFi-certified wireless client adapter for each computer you want to connect wirelessly.

Wired connection

If you want to connect one or more computer using a wired connection, make sure those computers are equipped with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).

Internet connection

You may need the following connection details from your service provider:

 Your service provider’s method for connecting to the Internet (for example PPPoE)

 The VPI/VCI (for example 8/35)

 Your user name and password to connect to the Internet for PPP connections

 Your IP settings in case of static configurations

Optionally your service provider may indicate the service profile to use during the setup.

You may have received this information when you subscribed at your Internet Service Provider. You may be prompted for this information at a given step in the installation procedure.
