Connecting to the Internet and VoIP
To configure the gateway to connect to the Internet.
1.
From the main menu, select Basic Settings. The Basic Settings screen appears:
:
•
The
WAN Default Gateway
is the ISP router to which your gateway will connect.
•
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not
transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter
an address here, you should reboot your PCs after configuring the gateway.

If your service provider assigns your IP address through DHCP, leave the
Dynamic IP
radio button selected.
•
If your service provider assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your PC,
select
Static IP
. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the static IP mask
(also known as netmask), Gateway IP address and Domain Name Server (DNS) Address.

If you have VoIP service, connect the phone to a
Voice Port 1. If your service includes a
second line, you can connect that phone to Voice Port 2. To check the voice status, see
“Viewing and Emailing Event Logs” on page 4-3
.
To set up a wireless connection, see
Chapter 2, “Wireless Configuration”
.

Chapter 2
Wireless Configuration
This chapter describes how to set up the wireless features of your wireless voice gateway. In
planning your wireless network, consider the level of security required. Select the location of your
wireless equipment in order to maximize the network speed.
Set up wireless features for the wireless voice gateway in this order:
1.
Install the wireless voice gateway as described in
Chapter 1, “Installing the Gateway”
. The
wireless voice gateway should be working on your LAN before you set up the wireless
features.
2.
Plan the location for the wireless voice gateway based on considerations in
“Wireless
Placement and Range Guidelines”
.
3.
Use the form in section
“SSID and Wireless Security Settings Form” on page 2-3
to keep track
of your settings.
4.
Enter the wireless settings, and verify wireless connectivity as described in
“Viewing or
Changing Wireless Settings”
and
“WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)”
.
For more information about wireless technology, see the link to “Wireless Communications” in
Appendix B, “Related Documents”

Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of
the wireless voice gateway. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power
consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
For best results, place your wireless voice gateway:
•
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have line-of-
sight access (even if through walls).
•
Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
•
Away from large metal surfaces.
•
Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna
in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
•
If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.

SSID and Wireless Security Settings Form
For a new wireless network, print or copy this form and fill in the settings. For an existing wireless
network, the person who set up or is responsible for the network can get the settings. Be sure to set
the Regulatory Domain correctly as the first step.
•
SSID
.
The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network.
NETGEAR is the default SSID. However, you may customize it by using up to 32
alphanumeric characters. Write your customized SSID on the line below.
____________________________________________________
The SSID in the wireless voice gateway is the SSID you configure in the wireless adapter card.
All wireless nodes in the same network must be configured with the same SSID.
•
Authentication.
Circle one: Open System or Shared Key. Choose Shared Key for more security.
To use Shared Key, all devices in the network must be set to Shared Key and have the same
keys in the same positions as those in the CVG834G.
•
WEP Encryption Keys.
For all four keys, choose the Key Size. Circle one: 64, or 128 bits.
Key 1: ______________________________________________
Key 2: ______________________________________________
Key 3: ______________________________________________
Key 4: ______________________________________________
•
WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
and
WPA2-PSK
. Record the WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK key.
Key: _____________________________________________
(8-63 characters)
•
WPA
and
WPA2 RADIUS
Settings. For WPA and WPA2, record the following settings for
the primary and secondary RADIUS servers.
Server Name/IP Address: _____________________________________________
Port: _____________________________________________
Shared Key: _____________________________________________
Use the procedures described in the following sections to configure the CVG834G. Store this
information in a safe place.
