Follow the guide below to determine the necessary set-up steps for your environment.
Step 1: Establish Physical Connectivity to the Internet
In most cases, a wired Ethernet connection will be provided by your ISP. This type of connection
includes DSL, Cable and Managed Internet Connections. It is also possible to connect to the Internet
via a dial up connection, or via high speed cellular access, in which case you should proceed to the
appropriate section in this guide.
Once an Internet Connection has been established, the AT&T AC8200 will try to retrieve its
configuration from the network, and if successful, may perform an automatic reboot to pick up the new
configuration. This should occur within the first 2-3 minutes after initial power on. Wait for a steady
GREEN
ONLINE light on the front panel to indicate the AT&T AC8200 is ready for use.
Basic connectivity is shown in Figure 2. Devices in the local network are connected to one or more of
the LAN ports on the rear of the AT&T AC8200; the broadband connection is usually established via the
WAN 1
port. An optional dial connection is also possible via the supplied cable.
