Gather Configuration Information from

1 Your Internet Service Provider

Before installing the DG814 gateway, you should have active DSL service and an Internet account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

For each computer that you want to connect to the gateway, you must have

An available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or adapter) — either built-in or from a network interface card (NIC) installed in the computer.

Note: If you have a built-in modem or a modem card, the telephone jack for the modem looks very similar to an RJ-45 Ethernet port, but the RJ-45 port is larger.

TCP/IP networking installed.

Windows® computers: Client for Microsoft® Networks software installed.

Note: TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks is installed on most Windows computers. If you have viewed Web sites with a browser, you are ready to go. Please see the Reference Manual on the CD if you need help installing either on a Windows computer.

A Category 5 (Cat 5) Ethernet patch cable.

Note: There is one cable in the box with the gateway.

Connection information

Later in the setup process you’ll configure the gateway to work with your network and, at that time, you’ll need to know the type of account you have with your ISP and specific account information.

The next page includes blanks for you to fill in and refer to later.

Note: Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the information needed to connect your computer to the Internet. If you cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP.
