Conﬁgure Your Cayman Gateway

Determine whether your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has supplied you with a Conﬁg- uration Worksheet identifying the settings you are to use when conﬁguring your Gate- way.

If you did not receive a Conﬁguration Worksheet, your Gateway has already been conﬁgured, and no action on your part is needed. You can skip this section and launch a Web browser to access the Internet.

If you received a Conﬁguration Worksheet, refer to it when conﬁguring your Gateway.

To conﬁgure your Gateway:

1.Run a Web browser application, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, from the computer on the same network as the Gateway.

2.Open a session to your Gateway.

Enter http://192.168.1.254 in the Location text box. (If your Conﬁguration Worksheet tells you to use an IP address other than 192.168.1.254 to log in, enter http://< ip-address>.) The browser displays the Welcome page.

For security, you must enter your own Administrative password for accessing the Cayman Gateway. The Administrative username is Admin. You choose the password yourself. This username and password are separate from the username and password you will use to access the Internet. Write them down in a safe location, or on the bottom of the Cayman Gateway. You will be chal- lenged for this Admin username and password any time that you attempt to access the Cayman Gateway’s conﬁguration pages. Click Submit.

The browser then displays the Quickstart web page.

3.Transfer the contents of each ﬁeld on the Conﬁguration Worksheet to the corresponding ﬁeld in the Quickstart web page.

4.Click Submit.

This turns on the Alert (“!”) button in the top right corner of the page.

5.Click the Alert button to go to the page to save your changes.

6.Click on the Save and Restart link.

Congratulations! Once a connection is established, your installation is complete. You can now go to any Web site by typing the address “URL” in your browser’s location box and pressing the Enter key on your PC’s keyboard or by selecting from your bookmarks with the addresses of your favorite Web sites.

If you have any questions or encounter problems with your Cayman Gateway, contact your service provider’s technical support helpdesk.
