1.1 Package Contents
Check that your package includes the following items:
• One Internet Gateway
• One CD-ROM
• One power adapter and power cord
• One Ethernet cable
• Installation instructions, including a Quick Start for cable
modem users, and this User Guide.
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact your supplier.
1.2 You Will Also Need

Optionally, you can use your Gateway as a print server and share a
parallel port printer connection among multiple PCs. (Note: This
option is only for Windows computers.) If you want to use your
Gateway as a print server, you will need a standard parallel printer
and cable.

The first step is to decide what type of WAN device you intend to
use to access the Internet. (Your choices are depicted on the lefthand side of the diagram above.)
Once you’ve made that decision, the key stages to set up and use
your Gateway are as follows:
1111
Connect the hardware.
2222
Establish wired communication with the Gateway using a PC
that we’ll call the Administrator PC.
3333
Configure your Internet access method using the
Administrator PC.
4444
Connect to the Internet.
Using the following flowchart as a road map should simplify the
process of setting up your Gateway. You can also keep this
flowchart as a handy reference, should you ever want to modify
your Gateway setup.
Chapter 1: Getting Started 5
In this manual we also describe additional options and features
available to you. For example, you can connect a printer to your
Gateway and share it among multiple users. You can also add more
sophisticated capabilities to the Gateway. For instance, you can
modify its built-in firewall protection to accommodate special
gaming or video applications. The flowchart also includes these
additional chapters.

1.4 Familiarizing Yourself with Your Gateway
The Gateway has LED indicators on its front panel so you can
monitor its operation and perform troubleshooting if necessary.
The table below defines these LEDs and how to interpret them.

Before connecting your modem and Gateway, be sure to review
the following pre-installation checklist.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
Review this checklist before setting up your Gateway and modem
✔ Check with your service provider: If you have a cable modem,
you may have to register your Gateway’s WAN MAC address
before setting up the Gateway. Note: The WAN MAC address
is printed on the Gateway’s bottom case label.
✔ Is your Internet or online service working properly? If
necessary, refer to the instructions provided by your service
provider.
✔ Check that an Ethernet NIC card is already installed in your
PC, then turn to page 9.

Shut off your computer and turn off your modem. Don’t
plug the Gateway in yet.
For cable and DSL modems:
Unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC and plug it into
the WAN port on the back of the Gateway. Don’t unplug
the Ethernet cable plugged into the modem.
For dial-up and ISDN modems:
Unplug the serial cable from the PC and plug it into the
COM port on the back of the Gateway. Don’t unplug the
serial cable plugged into the modem.
Using the Ethernet cable supplied with the Gateway, plug
one end into a LAN port (labeled 1 and 2) on the back of
the Gateway and plug the other end into the PC.

Turn the modem back on. If you are using a cable or DSL
modem, wait until it synchronizes itself with the modem
service. (You’ll know it’s synchronized when the cable
modem’s light goes from blinking to steady.)
EEEE
FFFF
Plug the Gateway in: Plug one end of its power adapter into
the 12VDC power jack on the back of the Gateway and
then plug the other end into a wall outlet. The Gateway’s
SYS indicator will come ON for about 10 seconds, and
then it will flash rapidly a few times. When the indicator
flashes continuously once per second, the start-up process
is complete, and your Gateway is ready.
Note: If you are using a cable modem and your service
provider has instructed you to call back with your
Gateway’s WAN MAC address, now is the time to do so.
Turn your computer back on and restart it.
