3.2 Plug-and-Play
Each Gateway has been provisioned at the factory for use with a particular service
provider. This sets the Gateway to use particular radio channels and enables services
specific for that provider. Although the Gateway comes with drivers and enabling software,
you don’t have to install and use them if you simply want to connect to the Internet,
assuming that your Gateway has been activated with the network (The process of setting
up your account is called activation. Activation involves action by the service provider and
configuration of the Gateway.).
Once the Gateway has been activated, simply connect your computer with the Gateway
using the provided Ethernet (RJ-45) cable and you are ready to use the Internet. If you
choose to install the driver and its enabling software (the AxessManager), you will have
more controls of the Gateway performances and settings.

The Gateway supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS® 9.x, X
v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000, and XP, and others. All that is
needed is an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard
language of the Internet).
