2.7.4 Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Macintosh)

If you were using your computer directly attached to your modem to access the internet, you may need to collect configuration information from your compu- ter so that you can use this information when you configure the FSG-3. If your ISP provided this information to you on paper or provides the configuration data dynamically, you do not require this information. To get the information you need to configure the gateway for Internet access:

1.From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. The TCP/IP Control Panel opens, which displays a list of configuration settings. If the "Configure" setting is "Using DHCP Server", your account uses a dynamically-assigned IP address and you do not need any more information. Please close the dialog and continue installing your computer and FSG-3.

2.If an IP address and subnet mask are shown, write down the information.

3.If an IP address appears under Router address, write down the address. This is the ISP’s gateway address.

4.If any Name Server addresses are shown, write down the addresses. These are your ISP’s DNS addresses.

5.If any information appears in the Search domains information box, write it down.

6.Change the "Configure" setting to "Using DHCP Server".

7.Close the TCP/IP Control Panel.

2.8 Restarting the Network

Once you’ve setup your computers to work with the FSG-3, you must reset the network for the devices to be able to communicate correctly.

1.Turn off the FSG-3 if it was on, and then turn it on again and wait for the FSG- 3 to restart (This can take up to 30 seconds).

2.Restart any computer connected to the FSG-3.

2.9 Ready for Configuration

After configuring all of your PCs for TCP/IP networking and connecting them to the local network of your FSG-3, you are ready to access and configure the FSG-3.
