Before You Start
What You Will Need
Internet
You will need to have an active Internet account, supplied through either ADSL
or cable Modem, and your ISP user account and password information. (Your
ISP can supply you with this)
Hardware Requirements
A minimum of one PC with an installed Ethernet NIC (network interface card).
(If you have a DSL or Cable modem broadband connection to the Internet, you
should already have this). If you wish to connect wirelessly to your B49G from a
laptop, a wireless network PCMCIA notebook card is needed, and this manual
assumes it is already properly installed.
System Requirements
The B49G will work with Windows, Macintosh or Linux Operating System. You
just need a HTTP standard JavaScript-enabled browser, for example, Microsoft
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above.
ISP Configuration Information
Depending on the type of ISP connection you have, you may need one or more
of the following configuration parameters.
ISP User ID and Password
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS)
Fixed IP address or Static IP address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Host and Domain Names
If you are unsure of any of these settings, contact your ISP customer service.
