Installation - Wireless Connection
To connect to the voice gateway wirelessly, your computer must have a 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter
installed. If all wireless security and encryption are disabled on the adapter and the VT2542, the computer will
automatically connect to the voice gateway.
Note:
Motorola ships the VT2542 with all wireless security functions disabled.
Connect at least one computer to the voice gateway using a wired connection in order to perform the
configuration. Do not attempt to configure the VT2542 over a wireless connection. After your wireless LAN is
operational, enable security.

Basic Configuration
The VT2542 provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to configure Ethernet, router,
DHCP
, and security settings.
It is much easier to configure your local area network (LAN) using a VT2542 than with traditional networking
equipment.
For basic operation, most default settings require no modification.
The following sections describe:
•
Logging In to the VT2542
(see page 11)
•
Configuration Overview
(see page 12)
•
Restoring Defaults for the VT2542
(see page 13)
•
Logging Out
(see page 13)
•
WAN Configuration
(see page 14)
•
LAN Configuration
(see page 19)
If DHCP is enabled on all of the computers on your network (LAN), you do not need to change any of the default
LAN settings. Unless you have sufficient networking knowledge, we recommend not changing any LAN settings.
For information about advanced configuration, see
“Advanced Configuration”
on page 21.
