About This Guide
This guide describes how to set up a Silicon Graphics WebFORCE
™
Internet Gateway
server so that you can connect your network to the Internet. It contains the following
chapters:
•
Chapter 1, “Overview of the Internet Gateway,” provides an overview of setting up
a WebFORCE Internet Gateway server, describes the component parts, and tells you
what you need to know to exchange information with your
Internet service provider
(ISP).
•
Chapter 2, “Connecting the Cables,” describes how to physically connect the
WebFORCE Internet Gateway to different types of computers, such as personal
computers running Windows or MS-DOS, or Macintosh computers.
•
Chapter 3, “Setting Up the Terminal Emulator and Starting WebFORCE Internet
Gateway,” provides general instructions on configuring your personal computer or
Macintosh computer so that you can communicate with the WebFORCE Internet
Gateway server, and specific steps to initialize and start the WebFORCE Internet
Gateway.
Note:
If the network host you are going to use as your Internet gateway already has a
monitor, PC, Macintosh or terminal attached, you can proceed immediately with “Using
WebFORCE Internet Gateway From Your Web Browser” in Chapter 3.
This manual focuses on setting up the WebFORCE Internet Gateway on a Silicon
Graphics server that is attached to your local area network (LAN). Once you are able to
access the server from other computers on your local area network, the WebFORCE
Internet Gateway software contains further documentation to help you through the
process of attaching the server to the Internet.
