Install the Intelligent Gateway
Software
Before installing the Intelligent Gateway software, it is very important that you disable any conflicting applications such as firewall and file- and printer-sharing applications. See Step 1, “Getting Started.”
BT Openworld Pay-As-You-Go Dial Up Connection Option
Before installing the Intelligent Gateway software, please make sure that you have your username, password, and email address that were provided in your Welcome Letter and via email.
When the Setup Wizard CD starts, you will be guided through the BT Openworld Plug & Go installation, which gives you the option of installing Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, and Windows Media Player on your computer. You will be prompted for information that enables BT Openworld to automatically configure your mail account in Outlook Express and set up your default home page in Internet Explorer.
You will also be given the option of installing a Pay-As-You-Go dial-up connection, which will allow you to connect to the Internet if broadband service is not available. To use the dial-up service, your computer must be connected to your telephone line via a dial-up modem, and during set up you will be prompted to select which modem you want to use. You can install the dial-up connection on each PC that has a modem and that is connected to the network.
IMPORTANT: When you connect a dial-up modem to the same line that is being used for your broadband service, you MUST use an ADSL Filter.
If you do not want to install the dial-up connection during set up, you can install it at a later time by navigating to the PAYG folder on the Setup Wizard CD and double-clicking the SetupPAYG.exe file.
To use the dial-up connection, double-click the BT Openworld Connect PAYG desktop icon, enter your password (if prompted), and connect. Make note of your username and password so that this information is readily available if you need it. Your username for PAYG is your email address, and your password is provided in your Welcome Letter and via email. Please note that you will be charged at the usual Pay-As- You-Go rates when you use this connection.
