Preparation

Before attempting to configure the Broadband VPN Gateway, please ensure that:

Your PC can establish a physical connection to the Broadband VPN Gateway. The PC and the Broadband VPN Gateway must be directly connected (using the Hub ports on the Broadband VPN Gateway) or on the same LAN segment.

The Broadband VPN Gateway must be installed and powered ON.

If the Broadband VPN Gateway 's default IP Address (192.168.0.1) is already used by another device, the other device must be turned OFF until the Broadband VPN Gateway is allocated a new IP Address during configuration.

Using UPnP

If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the Broadband VPN Gateway will appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network device has been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly-discovered device.

Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the Broadband VPN Gateway, you can accept the desktop shortcut.

Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can always find UPnP devices in My Network Places (previously called Network Neighborhood).

Double - click the icon for the Broadband VPN Gateway (either on the Desktop, or in My Network Places) to start the configura- tion.

Using your Web Browser

To establish a connection from your PC to the Broadband VPN Gateway:

1.After installing the Broadband VPN Gateway in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it.
