) and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or
broadband router.
Note:
If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included in the

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.

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

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:
