2Set up your Gateway

1.Decide the location for the Gateway.

Put the Gateway in a location where air can circulate freely around it.

2.Connect the power supply to the power jack on the back panel of the Gateway.

Then, plug the power supply into an electrical outlet. Turn on the Power switch.

The Power light should light solid green.

3.Insert the Netopia CD into your CDROM drive.

The Netopia Installation Guide Wizard automates several tasks to get you up and running easily. You can run the Wizard on every Windows-based PC that will connect to your network.

The Installation Guide Wizard will run automatically and step through your connection installation(s).

The Installation Guide Wizard lets you choose which type of Netopia device you are installing, and where you are installing it. Choose either Install via Ethernet or Install USB Connection. The Netopia Installation Guide Wizard will install USB drivers if you choose the USB option.

Click the Next button.

Follow the on-screen instructions to make all of your connections.

Be sure to configure each computer connected to your Netopia Gateway to accept a Dynamically-assigned IP address, commonly referred to as DHCP.
