Connecting the
Wireless Cable/DSL
Gateway
1
Insert one end of the supplied Ethernet (RJ-45 Category 5) cable into the
Cable/DSL port on the rear panel of the Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway.
2
Insert the other end of the cable into the RJ-45 port on your cable or DSL modem.
Check that the Cable/DSL status LED lights on the Gateway.
3
Connect the cable or DSL modem to the Internet.
4
Connect your computer to one of the four LAN ports on the Gateway using a
twisted pair cable. Check that the corresponding LAN status LED on the Gateway
lights.
You have now completed the hardware installation of your Gateway. Next you
need to set up your computers so that they can make use of the Gateway to
communicate with the Internet.
3Com recommends that you perform the initial Gateway configuration from a
computer that is directly connected to one of the LAN ports. You may alternatively
configure the Gateway from a wireless computer, but note that you may lose
contact with the Gateway if you change the wireless configuration.
To communicate with the Gateway, your wireless NIC should be set as follows:
■
WEP encryption - none
■
ESSID - 101
■
Channel - 11
