ProSafe Quad WAN Gigabit Firewall FR538G Reference Manual
Network Planning for Quad WAN Ports D-3
v1.0, November 2007
• The quad WAN gigabit firewall is capable of being managed remotely, but this feature
must be enabled locally after each factory default reset.
You are strongly advised to change the default password password to something that is
more secure at the time you enable remote management.
You make these selections during “Configuring the WAN Port Internet Connections” on
page 2-2 .
• There are a variety of WAN options you can choose when the factory default settings are
not applicable to your installation. These include enabling a WAN port to respond to a
ping and setting MTU size, port speed, and upload bandwidth. You will make these
choices in
“Configuring the Advanced WAN Options (If Needed)” on page 2-20 .
4. Prepare to physically connect the firewall to cable or DSL modems and a computer.
Instruction for connecting your quad WAN gigabit firewall are in Installation Guide, FR538G
ProSafe Quad WAN Gigabit Firewall .
Cabling and Computer Hardware Requirements
To use the quad WAN gigabit firewall on your network, each computer must have an installed
Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will connect to your
network at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable such as the one provided with your
firewall.
Computer Network Configuration Requirements
The FR538G includes a built-in Web Configuration Manager. To access the configuration menus
on the FR538G, your must use a Java-enabled Web browser program that supports HTTP uploads
such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. NETGEAR recommends using
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available
for Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
For the initial connection to the Internet and configuration of your firewall, you will need to
connect a computer to the firewall that is set to automatically get its TCP/IP configuration from the
firewall via DHCP.
The cable or DSL modem broadband access device must provide a standard 10 Mbps (10BASE-T)
Ethernet interface.
Note: For help with DHCP configuration, please refer to the link in Appendix C,
