8. Information required before Installation

You need to prepare the following information before installing the gateway.

8.1.IP Address

The gateway requires an IP address for operation. Before installation you need to know how to obtain an IP address from your local ISP. Static IP, DHCP or PPPoE can be used. The following table helps you to decide what information you need. If your ISP offers static IP, you may need to obtain an IP from MIS personnel in order to prevent an IP conflict. Otherwise DHCP (most cable broadband providers offer this) and PPPoE (most ADSL broadband providers offer this) will work fine.

IP Environment		Requiring information
Static IP	Public IP	IP Address
	Address	Subnet Mask
		Default Gateway
		It is strongly suggested that you obtain an
		IP address from MIS personnel in order to
		prevent an IP conflict.

	Address	Subnet Mask
		Default Gateway
		It is strongly suggested that you obtain an
		IP address from MIS personnel in order to
		prevent IP conflicts.
		Your private IP requires an IP Sharing
		device and you must configure the IP
		Sharing device to treat the gateway and the
		IP that it is using as a virtual server.
Dynamic IP address (DHCP)		DHCP mode
PPPoE		Account Number
		Password
		Your ISP normally provides this information.
		If you don’t have this information please
		contact your ISP.
