MGW 2000e Quick Start Guide

Initial Configuration

To operate MGW 2000e for the first time, you have to initialize MGW 2000e using HyperTerminal, which is pre-installed on the Configuration PC.

The Configuration PC must have at least one free serial port. To enable the Configuration PC to communicate with MGW 2000e, you have to first add a direct network connection and a HyperTerminal connection.

You may add and configure conections manually or use pre- configured configuration files available on the MGW 2000e CD.

•To use pre-configured configuration files, refer to the next page.

•To add the required connections manually, refer to the user manual.

Before you initialize MGW 2000e:

1.To avoid network conflicts, make sure that no other network device with the hostname MGW2000E is connected to the network.

2.Use a serial cable to connect MGW 2000e's RS-232 port to a free serial port (e.g. COM1) on the Configuration PC.

3.Use a network cable to connect MGW 2000e's NIC A to the network.

•To connect NIC B as well, refer to the user manual for further information and instructions.

Note

To ensure proper network communication, we recommend using shielded Category 5 network cables.
