Configuring the CheetahAccess™ Wireless Gateway

Setting a Password

If this is your first time to access the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway, you should define a new Administrator password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the Main Menu, select “Setup,” then “Change Password” and follow the instructions on the screen (see page 4-4). Note that passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters and are case-sensitive.

Making Configuration Changes

Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click the “Enter” button at the bottom of the page to confirm the new setting.

Note: To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be sure that Internet Explorer 5.0 is configured as follows: Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General / Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for “Check for newer versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.”
