Host and Domain Names

Some ISPs use a specific host or domain name—like jsmith or earthlink.net. If you haven’t

been given specific information about host or domain names then use the following examples

as a guide:

•

If your main e-mail account with your ISP is [email protected], then use aaa as your host

name. (Your ISP might call this your account name, user name, or system name.)

•

If your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.com, then use xxx.yyy.com as the domain name.

Host name:_____________________________________

Domain name: __________________________________

Login Name

If your ISP requires a login name and password (possibly because you have a PPPoE account),

fill in the following:

Login name:____________________________________

(may be your full e-mail address)

Password:______________________________________

Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by your ISP.

The login name is case sensitive. You must type it exactly as given by your ISP. For

example, c_jones is a different login name than C_Jones or cjones.

Fixed (or static) IP address

If you have a static IP address through your ISP, fill in the following information:

IP address: _____._____._____._____

Subnet mask: _____._____._____._____

Gateway IP address:_____._____._____._____

DNS server address information

If you were given specific Domain Name System (DNS) server addresses, fill in the following:

DNS Server IP address(es): _____._____._____._____

_____._____._____._____

Install the Firewall

After unpacking the box and locating the

configuration information, you’re ready to install

the firewall.

Note: You do not have to power down any

equipment to do this, but if you need to move

your computers (perhaps to get to ports in

the back), you may want to shut down the

computers before moving them around.

1.

Locate the Ethernet cable currently going

from the DSL or cable modem to the com-

puter that you use to access the Internet.

Note: You must use this cable to connect the

DSL or cable modem to your firewall since

this may be a special cable even though it

looks like other LAN cables.

2.

Remove this cable from the computer and

insert that end into the Internet port on the rear panel of the firewall.

3.

Use the Ethernet patch cable that came with the firewall to connect the computer to one

of the four numbered local Ethernet ports on the rear panel of the firewall.

4.

Connect the power adapter’s cord into the back of the firewall and then plug the adapter

into a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).

Note: If you want to connect other computers to the firewall, don’t connect them

now. Do that after you know that the modem/firewall setup works with one

computer.

Check the setup

•

The Test light turns on for a few seconds and then goes off.

Note: If the Test light remains on for more than one minute, go to Troubleshooting

on page 13.

•

The Power and Internet Link lights should be lit.

•

The WLAN light should be lit.

•

If your computer is on, the Local Link light should be on for the port number that your

computer is connected to.

Note: If the port connection is a 100 Mbps connection, the 100 light should be on.

If either the Power, Internet Link, or Local port Link light isn’t lit, go to Troubleshooting on

page 13.

Configure the Computer to Work with the

Firewall and Restart the Network

Next, make sure that the computer can interact with the firewall. To do this, configure the

TCP/IP settings on the computer and then restart the network. How you do this depends on

your computer.

Windows Operating System

Normally, you can leave the TCP/IP setup parameters at their factory default settings unless

you have a specific reason to change them. You should verify that the computer is set to ‘obtain

an IP address automatically’ in the Network control panel.

Windows 98 or Me

1.

Choose Settings>Control Panel from the Start menu.

2.

Double-click the Network icon.

3.

Click the Configuration tab.

4.

In the list of installed network components, select the TCP/IP entry for the computer’s

Ethernet or wireless adapter.

5.

Click Properties.

6.

Click the IP Address tab.

7.

Check that Obtain an IP Address Automatically ia selected, select if not.

8.

Click the Gateway tab.

9.

Select and remove any IP Gateway addresses that are listed.

10.

Click OK and click OK again to close the Network control panel.

11.

Go to Restarting the Network on the next page.

Windows 2000 or XP

1.

Operating System

If you’re installing the firewall with a Linux-based or UNIX-based computer see your system

documentation for TCP/IP and networking setup information.

Restarting the Network

Once you’ve set up your computer to work with the firewall, you must reset the network for

the devices to be able to communicate correctly.

1.

Turn off the DSL or cable modem, wait 15 seconds, and then turn it on again.

Note: If the modem doesn’t have an on/off switch, either pull the modem’s power

adapter out of the wall socket or power down the power strip.

2.

If the firewall was powered down, power it up again and wait until the Test light turns off.

3.

Restart the computer that is connected to the firewall.

Note: You may also configure the firewall from a wireless PC. In that case, set the

PC’s SSID to the firewall’s default SSID: Wireless and be sure to Disable WEP encryption.
