For current product support and contact information, go to the following Web site: http://www.usr.com/support NOTE: 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. It is noted below. Write your serial number in the space provided below. 9108 Serial Number Model Number What You Need Before You Begin 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 ADSL standard (modulation) Encapsulation mode Authentication (PAP or CHAP) for PPP connections Your user name and password, if they were assigned by your ISP. Gateway Installation Step 1. Connect Microfilter (if included or required by your ISP) 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. 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 3 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. Step 2. Connect the Antenna and Cables 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. B. Attach the antenna to the back of the gateway. Connect one end of the grey telephone cable to the telephone port on the back of your gateway (labelled ADSL). Connect the other end to the telephone wall jack. 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 (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4). Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your computer's network interface card. C. 4 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. The gateway starts up after you turn on the power. This may take one to two minutes. E. See if the and any of the indicator LEDs are lighted. If they are not, see the troubleshooting section later in this guide. Step 3. Install EasyConfigurator 1. Insert the U.S. Robotics installation CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive. The installation should start automatically. This process may take a few moments. If the installation does not start automatically, you can start it manually. Windows users: Click Start and then Run, then type D:\setup.exe in the dialogue box and click OK. (If your CD drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of D.) Macintosh users: Open the CD-ROM and double click on either MacOS X Install or MacOS Classic Install (depending on which operating system your computer uses). Linux users: Open the CD-ROM, browse to \platforms\linux, and double-click on install.bin. 2. 3. Select your preferred language and click OK. If you are using Windows, the installer runs a qualification test to verify that your system meets the minimum requirements for installation. When done, a Results screen displays green flags next to system components that meet requirements and red flags next to any that do not. If your system passes the qualification, click Next. If any of your system components do not meet the requirements, click View Report to identify them. Setup now installs the EasyConfigurator. 5 Step 4. Configure the Gateway with EasyConfigurator 1. This is the EasyConfigurator login window: If EasyConfigurator does not start up automatically, you can open it yourself. Windows users: Click Start and select Programs and U.S. Robotics EasyConfigurator. Macintosh and Linux users: Double-click on the EasyConfigurator icon on the desktop. The user name and password are already entered for you. Click Log In and wait a few moments. 6 2. This window appears after you log in: Select your country and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the drop-down lists. If your country or ISP does not appear in the list, select Other and manually enter the settings provided by your ISP. You may need to enter your ISP-supplied user name and password after making your selections. Click Apply to continue. 3. EasyConfigurator now configures your gateway based on your ISP selection or manually-entered settings. 7 At this point, the system attempts to access the Internet. This may take a few minutes, until the following status page appears. If the status is CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, you have successfully configured your Internet connection. If it does not say CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, go to the Troubleshooting section of this installation guide. Step 5. Set Up the Wireless Configuration 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 Status at the top of the screen (if it is not already open). Then click Configure Wireless. This opens your Web browser to a page for setting 8 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. Your wireless network is now secure. You may close your Web browser and EasyConfigurator. You can now start up a Web browser. We suggest that you register your product and test your connection by going to the following Web site: www.usr.com/productreg See the User Guide on the U.S. Robotics installation CD-ROM to learn about the gateway's advanced features. You can use the gateway's Web user interface to enable or disable wireless communications and to set the network name, broadcast status, and security options. The Web user interface is the main tool for configuring and using the gateway. 9 Status LEDs The gateway has several LEDs on its front. The LED conditions listed below indicate the operational status of the gateway. Solid Off Solid Flashing Off Solid Flashing Off Solid Flashing Off Solid Flashing Off The gateway is powered on.

The Web user interface opens with a status page. If you cannot access the Internet... A number of devices have to work together for your computer to access the Internet. NOTE: For completeness, the following drawing shows both wired and wireless connections between your computer and your U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway. You'll normally use only one type of connection on each computer. A. Your computer connects to your Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway via a wireless or wired connection. B. The gateway connects to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via ADSL over the phone network. The first step in solving the problem is to diagnose the cause. There are a number of places where the connection from your computer to the Internet might fail. 13 Windows users: You can check your connections automatically with the included utility program. 1. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the Troubleshooting folder on your U.S. Robotics installation CD-ROM (for example, D:\Troubleshooting, if your CD drive is labeled D:). Double-click on Troubleshoot_Connection. 2. This utility program tests your connections and, if there is a problem, tells you where it is. Step 1: Can your computer connect to your Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway? Open a Web browser to the gateway's address: http://192.168.1.1 (Please note that if you've modified the gateway's LAN IP address, you must use the new one.) If the gateway's Web user interface appears, go to Step 3. Otherwise, the gateway may need to be restarted: 1. With a thin tool such as a paper clip, briefly press the Reset button on the back of the gateway. Wait one or two minutes as the gateway restarts. 2. If you use a wired connection: If you use a cable connection between your computer and the gate ...
