Configuring Your Wireless Connection

The TG2472 ships with wireless LAN security set by default. See the security label on your

product for the factory security settings.

Note:

You must set up your computer and other client devices to work with the security

settings on the TG2472. Refer to the documentation for your client device for instructions on setting

security. On most computer systems you only need to select the network name (SSID) device and

enter the encryption key. If your computer or client device supports Wi-Fi Alliance WPS (Wireless

Protected Setup), activate WPS on your computer or client device and the TG2472 simultaneously to

easily set up your system security.

want to configure any other wireless LAN settings, refer to the following instructions.

If security has been properly set up on your computer to access the wireless LAN on the

TG2472, use the connection utility for your operating system to connect to the wireless

LAN using its network name (SSID), as shown on the security label.

2.

If you cannot access the wireless LAN, you must first establish a wired Ethernet

connection between your computer and the TG2472.

3.

In your web browser, open the page http://192.168.0.1/ to access the wireless router

Setting Parental Controls

The Parental Control feature allows you to block specified keywords and web sites from

being accessed and also to specify trusted computers in the network. Trusted computers

are not affected by the parental control settings.

Finding the MAC Address of a Computer

In order to set up trusted computers you must first determine the MAC address of those

computers.

Use the operating system of your computer to find its MAC address, as follows:

Windows:

from the Start menu, find and select the

Control Panel

. Double-click

Network

Connections

(Windows XP), or

Network & Sharing Center

(Windows Vista or Windows 7). Then

double-click either “Wireless Network Connection” for a wireless connection, or “Local

Area Connection” for an Ethernet connection. Next click the

Details

button (Windows Vista

or Windows 7), or click the Support tab and then the

Details

button (Windows XP). The

“Physical Address” line shows the MAC address.

MacOS X:

open System Preferences and click the Network icon. To find the Ethernet

MAC address, select

Built-in Ethernet

from the Show drop-down, then click the Ethernet tab.

The “Ethernet ID” field shows the MAC address. To find the wireless MAC address, select

Configuring Your Ethernet Connection

If your computer is equipped with a LAN card providing an Ethernet connection, you may

have to configure your computer’s TCP/IP settings. The steps that follow will guide you

through setting your computer’s TCP/IP settings to work with the Telephony Gateway.

Requirements

Make sure you have the following before attempting to configure your Ethernet

connection:



Computer with Ethernet interface



Ethernet cable (supplied)



IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS information for installations not using DHCP

How to use this Chapter

The following list shows the procedures for modifying the TCP/IP settings on the

computer. The procedure is slightly different depending on the operating system that you

are using. Please ensure you are using the correct steps for the operating system on your

computer. Follow the links below for instructions to configure your Ethernet connection on

your operating system.



TCP/IP Configuration for Windows XP

(page 30)



TCP/IP Configuration for Windows Vista

(page 31)



TCP/IP Configuration for Windows 7 or Windows 8

(page 31)



TCP/IP Configuration for MacOS X

(page 32)

TCP/IP Configuration for Windows XP

Follow these steps to configure the Ethernet interface on a Windows XP operating system.

TCP/IPv6 Note:

This procedure shows the configuration of TCP/IPv4.

TCP/IPv6 is not

installed or enabled by default in Windows XP. If your cable provider requires TCP/IPv6 you must

first install and enable it on your Windows XP system. Refer to Microsoft support materials on

Windows XP for installation instructions. Once installed and enabled, follow this same

configuration example, but select TCP/IPv6 at the appropriate step.
