4 Introduction This manual details instructions of set-up and functions of the wireless Internet gateway. This is a breakthrough for SOHO users who need to share a high speed broadband Internet connection to the Internet. The high-powered antenna design assures its wireless connection even in large building. The wireless Internet gateway enables your network to connect through any ADSL/Cable modem onto the Internet--providing a simple network solution for SMB and SOHO users. The one port Wireless Internet gateway is equipped with: • A WAN Ethernet port (to connect to ADSL/Cable modem) • An Ethernet port (10/100Mpbs) • One asynchronous port The 4 ports Wireless Internet gateway is equipped with: • A WAN Ethernet port (to connect to ADSL/Cable modem) • 4 Ethernet ports (10/100Mbps) include one port to select uplink • An uplink port (to extend to an external hub) • One asynchronous port. Once the WAN Ethernet is connected to an ADSL/Cable modem, your ISP will automatically activate your account. In this way, the entire LAN can share one high-speed line to the Internet. The asynchronous port may connect to a 56K modem or to an ISDN TA (to be used as a dialup backup to the ADSL/Cable connection should the ADSL/Cable connection fail). If there is no ADSL/Cable service in your area, the dialup backup can also serve as your Internet access solution.
