Glossary
Regulatory Information
Declaration of Conformance with European Community Directive 1999/5/EC
Networking Technology Overview
When two or more computers are connected so they can “talk” with each other, a computer network is
established. Individual users can now connect to Web servers worldwide through the Internet, a global
computer network. A local area network (LAN) enables computer users in a business or household to share
files without trading disks, and share peripherals such as printers and external drives.
With the Intelligent Gateway, computers on a LAN can share a connection to the Internet. Several
technologies are available to connect or “network” computers. These technologies include:
•Ethernet
• Universal Serial Bus (USB)
•HomePNA
• Wireless
Ethernet
Ethernet is a technology that allows you to create a
network using special wiring (Category 5 cable), such
as the dark gray cable included with the Intelligent
Gateway. Many computers are shipped with a built-in
Ethernet adapter. If you have a computer with an
Ethernet adapter, you can use Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet connection socket on the
computer to any available local Ethernet port on the Intelligent Gateway. You can identify an
Ethernet connection socket by its rectangular shape and size, which is slightly larger than a
standard telephone socket.
USB
Most computers manufactured in the last few
years come with USB connections. USB ports,
which are small and rectangular, are typically
located on the back of the computer and are
marked with the USB symbol ( ). Use a
USB connection for a computer that is in close
proximity to the Intelligent Gateway.
1
Home Phoneline Networking (HomePNA)
The Intelligent Gateway supports the Home Phoneline
Networking Alliance protocol. HomePNA technology lets you
connect computers in different rooms using your home’s
existing telephone wiring. To create a home phoneline network,
you need an external HomePNA adapter for each additional computer you connect to the
network using HomePNA. These devices make it possible to connect each additional
computer through the phoneline. Use HomePNA for connecting computers to your Intelligent
Gateway if it is used in a home environment.
Wireless
The Intelligent Gateway supports 802.11b wireless networking, which
uses radio waves to connect your computers to your network. Each
computer on your network will need an adapter to work with the
system. Two types of adapter are common: a PC card (commonly used for laptop computers)
and a USB adapter (commonly used for desktop computers). Use wireless technology for
networking computers that are not accessible with physical wiring or require mobility, such as
laptop computers.
Intelligent Gateway
The Intelligent Gateway makes it possible to create a LAN using any or all of the technologies described
above. All Intelligent Gateway network interfaces are completely functional at the same time. This means
that you can have different computers simultaneously connecting with each other using Ethernet, USB,
HPNA, and wireless (optional wireless expansion card required). By enabling you to connect all of the
computers in your small business or home office, the Intelligent Gateway provides you with the benefits of
networking, including the ability to share one Internet connection among all the computers and computer
users at your location.
The Intelligent Gateway offers the following features:
• Delivers rich content from the Internet, distributing it to multiple simultaneous users.
• Provides shared usage of files and printers among users.
• Enables high-speed, continuous Internet access to the computers on your network—while keeping
your confidential files safe from Internet hackers. Intelligent Gateway has a built-in firewall, with
stateful packet inspection, to keep your network safe.
• Allows users to connect to the local network securely through the Internet anywhere in the world.
• Provides a 4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch allowing users to create a larger, faster networking
environment.
2
Plan your network
The following diagram shows a recommended location for the Intelligent Gateway and your computers.
Place the Intelligent Gateway in a visible, easily accessible location near the power mains, telephone
socket, and a computer. If your office computer has Windows 98, ME, 2000, or XP, we recommend
connecting it via Ethernet. For two computers, consider using USB and Ethernet. If you have multiple
computers requiring Ethernet, you can use any of the available local Ethernet ports on the Intelligent
Gateway to connect the computers to the Intelligent Gateway.
3
Step
1 Getting Started
First: Remove or disable conflicting applications
Applications that enable a computer to share its Internet connection (often called Internet sharing software)
and PC based firewall applications typically interfere with the Intelligent Gateway and should be removed
or disabled before you install the Intelligent Gateway. The Intelligent Gateway provides all of the same
features as the products listed below so you don’t need to worry about losing Internet sharing and security
capabilities.
If you have any of the following (or similar) applications installed on your computers, remove or disable
them according to the manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding.
Internet sharing applications such as... Proxy software such as... Security software such as...
• 3Com HomeClick
• Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing
• Intel Anypoint ISS
•WinGate
• Sygate
• Norton Internet Security
•McAfee
• Black Ice
• Zone Alarm
Second: Check your computer’s system and browser requirements
Verify that your computers meet the following minimum requirements:
System Requirements
Windows:
• Windows 98, 98SE, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 6, Windows 2000,
or Windows XP
• At least 32 MB of RAM
• At least one computer with CD-ROM
• 5 MB of available hard disk space for Intelligent Gateway software
• Available Ethernet or USB port
Macintosh:
• Mac OS 8.6 or higher (USB connectivity is not supported for Mac OS 10.0 or 10.1)
• At least 32 MB of RAM
• At least one computer with CD-ROM
• 10 MB of available hard disk space for Intelligent Gateway software
• Available Ethernet port
4
Browser Requirements
Windows: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher (Internet Explorer 6.0 is included on the Intelligent
Gateway Setup Wizard CD) or Netscape Navigator 4.7 or higher.
Macintosh: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape 4.74 or higher.
Third: Install your ADSL Filter
Because telephony and DSL signals are carried between the exchange and your office over the same cable,
filters are needed to split the signals within your office. By separating the computer data and voice signals,
the ADSL Filter enables you to use your telephone and broadband services simultaneously. Install one
ADSL Filter for each telephony connection, including such devices as answering machines, fax machines,
point of sale terminals, and PSTN dial up modems.
You must install an ADSL Filter for each telephone or telephony device that shares the same line as your
ADSL modem. To do so:
• Disconnect your telephone/other telephony equipment from the wall socket
• Connect the “tail” of the ADSL Filter into the wall socket
• Connect the line cord from your phone or other equipment into the ADSL Filter socket marked
PHONE
• Note that the socket marked ADSL MODEM is unused at this stage
• Repeat this procedure for your other telephones/telephony equipment
• Unused sockets do not need an ADSL Filter installed

6. Enter the encryption key. Once you have enabled security on your wireless adapter, you need to enter
WEP (wired equivalent privacy), 64-bit encryption, or 40-
the unique security key for your Intelligent Gateway. To do this, set the network encryption type to
hexadecimal, and enter your 10-digit wireless encryption key found on the bottom of your Intelligent
Gateway. For Macintosh computers, the encryption key must be prefixed with a “$.”
Note: To maximize your wireless network security, it is recommended that you change the WEP key on a
regular basis and/or enable 128-bit encryption (if your PC card or adapter supports 128-bit encryption).
Doing so will make it harder for hackers to access your wireless network.
Note: For optimal performance, it is recommended that you locate computers in your wireless network no
farther apart than 50 feet. The 50-foot limitation for wireless networks is based on the assumption that
most users are located in a many-walled or multi-story building. If you are using a wireless network in an
outdoor space, your range may be greater.
Repeat Step 3 “Install the Intelligent Gateway Software” on page 12.

System
The System pages provide you with general system information and operational status.
• The Summary page is your system home page. You can access this page by clicking the HOME
icon from any system page. The Summary page provides summary information and links to the
most commonly used features of your system.
• The System Password page allows you to password protect local access to your system settings,
preventing users on your local network from changing your system configuration. If a system
password is set, only local users who know the system password can change system settings (for
example, broadband connection parameters and firewall settings).
• The Date and Time Settings page displays your system date and time settings, and allows you to
edit these settings as needed.
• The Details page displays information about your system’s hardware and software configuration,
and provides links to detailed system level access and information.
Viewing your summary
The Summary page provides general information and links to your system’s most commonly used features.
This page consists of the Network at a Glance panel to the left, and a list of subsections to the right. These
subsections will vary depending on the options and services installed on your system.
The Network at a Glance panel provides a quick summary of broadband and local network connectivity
information, and the system’s overall status.
• System displays your Intelligent Gateway’s Power light status, the model name, the version of
system software that you are using, and the status of your system password.
• Broadband Link displays a summary of your Broadband Link status.
• Local Network displays your system’s Local Network light status and a list of the devices
currently connected to your local network.
