nstallation
There are two ways of using your B3.
• Fi Server mode (recommended)
• Server mode
Your B3 has an auto detect function on the LAN port. This means that B3 will
search the LAN for an DHCP server. If a DHCP server is found, B3 will configure
itself to obtain an IP address on the LAN port. If no DHCP server is found, B3
will fall back to the static IP address 192.168.10.1.
B3 will obtain an IP address automatically on the WAN port.
1. Decide whether you want B3 to be lying down or standing upright. Assem-
ble the rubber feet accordingly.
2. Use the enclosed network cable and connect it between B3’s LAN port and
your network, either directly to your computer or to a switch or router. Also
if using B3 as a router connect B3’s WAN port to your Internet connection or
DSL modem.
