SpaceLink Home Gateway
4. Connecting to the SpaceLink Home Gateway
Wired Connection
One RJ-45 cable is supplied with the SpaceLink Home Gateway. Auto
crossover function is designed into the SpaceLink Home Gateway so you
can use either a straight-through or a crossover Ethernet cable. Plug one
end of the cable into the WAN port on the rear of the SpaceLink Home
Gateway and the other end into the Ethernet port of your ADSL or Cable
modem.
Note: The WAN port only supports 10Base-TX.
Wireless-Connection
Refer to your wireless adapter user’s manual on associating with the
SpaceLink Home Gateway . The default SSID of the SpaceLink Home
Gateway is “default” (lower case), encryption is disabled and open system
authentication is used.
SPP Printer Connection
A DB25 parallel cable should be supplied with your printer. Plug the male
connector of this parallel cable into the printer port on the rear of the
SpaceLink Home Gateway and the centronics end into your printer.
5. Configuring the SpaceLink Home Gateway
The home gateway can be configured to meet various usage scenarios.
Some of the factory default settings may suit your usage; however, others
may need changing. Prior to using the home gateway, you must check the
basic settings to guarantee it will work in your environment.
Configuring the SpaceLink Home Gateway is done through a web browser.
You need a Notebook PC or desktop PC connected to the SpaceLink Home
Gateway and running a web browser as a configuration terminal. The
connection can be wired or wireless. For the wireless connection, you need
an IEEE 802.11b compatible device, e.g. ASUS SpaceLink PC Card,
installed in your Notebook PC. You should also disable WEP and set the
SSID to “default” for your wireless LAN device.
