DSLPipe/CellPipe Quick Setup
Other items you need for installation
In addition to the items provided with the DSLPipe/CellPipe unit, you will also need
the following:
An Ethernet interface
For the DSLPipe to transmit data to and receive data from your computer, you need a
properly configured Ethernet interface for your computer. The interface can be built
into the computer, as it is on many recent Dell, Apple Macintosh, and
Macintosh-compatible personal computers, or it can be an add-on circuit board or
PCMCIA card (PC card). Follow the instructions for installing and configuring the
interface that are included with your computer.
TCP/IP or IPX software
To communicate with a remote network, your computer must have the necessary
networking software, often known as a “stack.”
A TCP/IP stack lets you connect to the Internet and to other networks that use the
same networking standards as the Internet. Many operating systems include software
for TCP/IP. If TCP/IP software is not included in your operating system, you need to
obtain a separate TCP/IP software package. For information on configuring the
TCP/IP software, see the documentation for your operating system or TCP/IP
software package.
An IPX stack lets you connect to Novell NetWare networks.
A WAN cable
If you have a DSL-2S (the model number is printed in the bottom of the box) and you
want to use both WAN ports to connect to two separate jacks, you will need another
WAN cable with RJ11 modular plug connectors.
