Not e: It is important that you have your serial number written down for future reference. If you ever need to call our technical support department, you will need this

number to receive assistance. You can find your 12-character serial number on a bar code sticker located on the bottom of the gateway and also on the box. You will

also need your model number.

This gateway's EasyConfigurator installation software works with the following operating systems:

Windows Vista, XP, Me, 2000, NT 4.0, 98

Linux

You will need to have a computer with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and/or an 802.11b/g compatible wireless adapter installed, as well as a Web

browser that works with the HTML 4.01 specification with Javascript enabled.

You will need active ADSL and Internet service from your local telephone company or Internet Service Provider (ISP) before you try to go on the Internet. You may also

need the following from your ISP:

VPI/VCI values

A microfilter removes interference between voice and DSL signals. Your ISP will determine if a microfilter is necessary. If a microfilter was not included with the

gateway, you may want to ask your ISP if you need to purchase one or more of them.

To install a microfilter, plug each device (phone, fax machine, or other telephony device) into the microfilter, and then plug the microfilter into the telephone wall jack.

Do not install a microfilter on the cable that connects your ADSL gateway to the telephone jack unless your microfilter has a connection for both the gateway and the

phone.

To configure the gateway, you will initially use the supplied yellow Ethernet cable to connect it to the computer. You can set up a wireless connection later in the

installation process, once the gateway is communicating with the Internet.

This diagram shows you how the devices will be connected when the installation is complete:

To make the needed connections, follow these steps:

A. Attach the antenna to the back of the gateway.

B. Connect one end of the telephone cable to the telephone port on the back of your gateway (labeled ADSL). Connect the other end to the telephone wall jack.

C. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable. Although you can connect up to four systems this way, you should connect additional devices only after the initial setup is

complete. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the ports on the back of the gateway (labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4). Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on

your computer’s network interface card.

D. Plug the AC power adapter into the 9VDC jack on the back of your gateway. Then plug the AC power adapter into a standard wall outlet. If the LED on the front

panel is not lighted, press the power switch on the back of the gateway.

Not e: This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Direct Plug- in Power Unit marked Class 2 and rated 9V DC, 1200 mA.

The gateway starts up after you turn on the power. This may take one to two minutes.

E. On the front panel, see if the and any of the indicators LEDs are lighted. If they are not, see the t roubleshoot ing sect ion.

click Next . If any of your system components do not meet the requirements, click View Report to identify them.

Setup now installs the EasyConfigurator.

In wireless communications, devices communicate with each other via radio waves rather than cables. The gateway can communicate wirelessly with any device that

has a wireless network adapter that meets wireless networking standards.

To set up wireless communications, click St at us at the top of the EasyConfigurator screen (if it is not already open). Then click Conf igure Wireless. Log in if the

software asks you to (use admin as the user name and password). This opens your Web browser to a page for setting up security on your wireless network. U.S.

Robotics strongly recommends that you secure your network as directed on this page.

Follow the on- screen instructions to configure security, and click Apply when done. The status page of the gateway's Web user interface automatically appears after

you do this.
