Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and PC Setup
Overview
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the gateway to a computer or a
LAN, a telephone, and to the Internet using the WAN interface. The first part provides
instructions to set up the hardware, and the second part describes how to prepare your
PC for use with the gateway. Refer to Chapter 3, The Web User Interface on page 35 for
configuration instructions.
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to WAN service with your telephone
company or other Internet service provider (ISP).
Connecting Your Hardware
Shut down your PC before connecting the gateway. To connect the gateway:
1. Connect the WAN interface:
The 6xxx-W1 devices support different WAN interfaces: DSL or Ethernet.
Note: Only one WAN interface can be active at a time.
2. Connect the PC to the gateway
To use the Ethernet connection, connect the Ethernet cable from the computer
directly to one of the four ports labelled LAN on the back of the gateway.
