Easy Setup

It is much easier to configure a local area network (LAN) using an SVG2500 than using traditional networking equipment:

The Installation Assistant application on the SVG2500 Installation CD-ROM enables easy connection to the cable network.

For basic operation, most default settings require no modification.

The SVG2500 Configuration Manager (CMGR) provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy configuration of necessary wireless, Ethernet, router, DHCP, and security settings. For information about using the SVG2500 Configuration Manager, see Section 3, Basic Configuration.

Network Connection Types

The SVG2500 provides different network connection types for your computers to exchange data. The connection between your computers and the SVG2500 may be with a wireless or a wired connection or a combination of the two. Your network can use one or any combination of the following network connections:

Ethernet local area network (LAN)

Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11g that also supports IEEE 802.11b wireless clients)

Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) connections to Wi-Fi enabled devices

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Powerful Features in a Single Unit

An SVG2500 combines high-speed Internet access, networking, and computer security for a home or small-office LAN. An SVG2500 provides:

An integrated high-speed cable modem for continuous broadband access to the Internet and other online services with much faster data transfer than traditional dial-up or ISDN modems

A single broadband connection for up to 245 computers to surf the web; all computers on the LAN communicate as if they were connected to the same physical network
