Chapter 2: Installation

What You Need

Before installing the SOHOware BroadGuard you need the following: Any Network Operating System with:

TCP/IP installed

Internet browser installed

10Mbps/100Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet network adapters installed

Broadband Internet Account

You should be subscribed to a broadband Internet service and have a cable/DSL modem with a 10Base-T interface. Know whether your Public IP address is fixed or is dynamically assigned (ask your Broadband Service Provider).

1.If your IP address is dynamically assigned (most common), the BroadGuard will automatically get a public IP address from your ISP through the modem. You will not need to do any IP address configuration.

There is no need to enter any information in Broadband Connection unless your BSP has assigned you specific Internet connection information (Host Name, Domain Name, MAC address authentication, PPPoE, or a static IP address).

To do a manual setup, type 192.168.1.1 into the web address location on a web browser on any connected PC. Enter the factory default user name admin and password 1234. After clicking OK you will enter the setup home page. Click the Broadband Connection link to begin setup of the broadband connection.

2.If you have an AT&T (formerly MediaOne) cable service, or any service that requires a Media Access Control (MAC) address for authentication, when you are setting up the BroadGuard for first use, only the PC with the registered Ethernet card’s MAC address can be connected to the BroadGuard.

3.If you have a DSL service with PPPoE, obtain the following information from your BSP:

The user login name

The login password

Service name (some BSPs may not require you to use this)
