1.3 User Responsibility

1.3.1 List of Items Prepared by the User

Preparation of the items below, which are necessary for setting up the Gateway, is the

user’s responsibility.



one PC equipped with at least one of the following LAN facilities:



a wired LAN port, whether external or built-in



an external wireless LAN adapter



a built-in wireless LAN card



(when necessary) a WAN side equipment such as edge router



(when necessary) appropriate number of LAN cables for WAN connection and wired

LAN connections in addition to one LAN cable provided by the Gateway



(when necessary) paper or other medium to copy default wireless LAN settings, i.e.,

Service Set IDs (SSIDs) and Security Encryption Keys shown on the equipment label

1.3.2 Requirements for User PC

To prepare a user PC mentioned in Subsection 1.3.1 above, ensure that the PC meets

the requirements below.

Note: Screenshots in this manual are for reference only. Actual images may differ

depending on the type and version of the operating system and the browser.



LAN facility

When the user PC is to be connected to the Gateway via wired LAN (LAN cable), the

PC needs to have a 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T LAN port. If the PC is

not equipped with such a LAN port, a third-party LAN board or LAN card supporting

1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T as well as relevant LAN driver need to be

installed on the PC in accordance with applicable instructions.

When the user PC is to be connected to the Gateway via wireless LAN, the PC needs

to have an external wireless LAN adapter or a built-in wireless LAN card that is

compatible with the Gateway, i.e., IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11b, or IEEE802.11g.

Note: The area reachable with wireless LAN communications depends on the

environment of the user.

Note: The functionality and connectivity of wireless LAN depends on the type of

wireless LAN adapter or wireless LAN card.



Firewall and/or antivirus software

Firewall and/or antivirus software installed on the user PC needs to be terminated

before setting up the Gateway. If such software keeps running, setup operation on

the Gateway or communication between the user PC and the Gateway may fail.

After setting up the Gateway, resume the firewall/antivirus software on the user PC.
