SOHO 6 Wireless Installation Procedure

Macintosh with Internet Explorer 5.x & 6.0

Before you Begin

Before you install the SOHO 6 Wireless, you must have: 

• A computer with a 10/100BaseT Ethernet card installed and a Web browser, such as Internet 

Explorer.

• A functional Internet connection–this connection must be a cable or DSL modem with a 

10/100BaseT port, an ISDN router, or a direct LAN connection. If the Internet connection is not 
functional, call your ISP.

• Two straight-through Ethernet network cables with RJ45 connectors.  Crossover cables, which are 

often red or orange in color, are not satisfactory. The SOHO 6 Wireless package includes one cable–
a second cable may have been supplied with your modem, if not, you will need to purchase a second 
cable. Make sure that the cables are of sufficient length to connect the modem or router to the 
SOHO 6 Wireless and the SOHO 6 Wireless to your computer.

• The method of network address assignment used by your ISP. The possible methods are static 

addressing, DHCP, or PPPoE–call your ISP to determine this, if necessary.

• The two antennae supplied with the SOHO 6 Wireless attached to the appliance.

The SOHO 6 Wireless 

must

 be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters from all 

persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

• The SOHO 6 Wireless serial number–found on the bottom of the appliance.

Record your current TCP/IP settings and enable your computer for DHCP

For your reference, record the computer’s current TCP/IP settings in the chart at the end of this section.
