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
•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)
•
•Universal Serial Bus (USB)
Powerful Features in a Single Unit
An SVG2500 combines
•An integrated
