Basic Installation and Configuration
This section provides instructions for connecting the DGFV338. Typically, it takes approximately
seven steps to complete connecting all facets of your gateway:
1.
Connect the gateway physically to your network.
If connecting through a modem, power
off and disconnect the modem before starting. Connect the cables after turning off your
modem, if you are connecting through your Ethernet port.
If connecting through the built-in ADSL modem, connect the wireless firewall to a microfilter,
and then connect the microfilter to your phone jack (see
“Using ADSL Microfilters (optional)”
on page 2-2
for instructions on using microfilters).
For additional instructions on connecting your ProSafe DGFV338, refer to the
DGFV338
ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Installation Guide
on your Resource CD
or to the NETGEAR Website for an online electronic copy.
2.
Restart your network in the correct sequence.
It is important to pay attention to the order in
which you restart your network. Then, check the LEDs and make sure the test lights are
working appropriately.
3.
Log into the gateway.
After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your gateway.
You can also change your password and enable remote management at this time.
4.
Configure the WAN Setup options for your ISP Internet connection(s)
. During this phase,
you will connect to your ISP(s). You can also program the WAN traffic meters at this time.
5.
Configure the WAN mode for your Internet connection(s)
. You can also configure the
dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (if needed).
You can configure either the ADSL ISP or the Ethernet ISP or you can enable both ADSL and
Ethernet ISPs, and configure them to operate in Auto-rollover mode. You can also configure
Advanced options such as the factory default MTU size, port speed, and uplink bandwidth.
6.
Set up your wireless LANs.
Select the appropriate Country/Region and Operating Mode for
your antenna configuration.
Because the wireless interface is disabled by default, the initial wireless configuration must be
made from a wired connection (either via ADSL or Ethernet). During this step, you can also
choose the wireless security method for your LAN gateway; for example, versions of either
WEP or WPA.

7.
Set up your VPN connections using Auto Detect
. If you do not know your ISP connection,
Auto Detect will attempt to automatically detect your connection type by probing for different
connection methods. If you know your ISP type, you can set up your connections manually.
(Ensure that you have the ISP information relevant to your connection type before you begin.
Using ADSL Microfilters (optional)
ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters to
filter out these signals before they reach your telephone. If you are planning on using the ADSL
modem port, and an ADSL Microfilter is not included with your ProSafe DGFV338, you should
acquire one.
There are two types of ADSL Microfilters: a one-line filter and a two-line filter with splitter.
•
One-Line Microfilter.
A simple microfilter provides an interface filter between your
telephone and the phone jack as shown in
Figure 2-1
. Each device such as a telephone, fax
machine, answering machine, or caller ID display requires an ADSL microfilter..
You can also connect the one-line filter to a phone-jack splitter to allow for connection of the
wireless firewall. However, the phone-jack splitter must be a designated ADSL microfilter/
phone jack splitter.
•
ADSL Microfilter with Built-In Splitter.
Use an ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter
when there is a single wall outlet which must provide connectivity for both the wireless
firewall and the telephone equipment.

Logging in and Configuring your Internet Connection
To log in to the wireless firewall:
1.
Connect to the gateway by typing
in the address field of Internet Explorer,
Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla Firefox. The login screen will display.
2.
Enter
admin
for the gateway user name and
password
for the gateway password in lower case
letters. Both fields are case-sensitive. (The gateway user name and password are not the same
as any user name or password you may use to log in to your Internet connection.)
Warning:
Do not connect the wireless firewall to the ADSL line through a
microfilter unless the microfilter is a combination ADSL microfilter/
splitter specifically designed for this purpose. Doing so will block your
connection to the Internet. If you have any doubts about this, connect the
wireless firewall directly to your phone line.
Note:
To connect to the gateway, your computer needs to be configured to obtain an IP
address automatically via DHCP.

Configuring Your Internet Connection using Auto Detect
Depending on how you connected your gateway to the Internet, you can configure your ISP
settings by choosing the ADSL ISP settings (for DSL) or the Ethernet ISP settings (for 10/100). If
you connected to both, you can configure both.
To automatically configure your ADSL ISP settings and connect to the Internet:
1.
Go to the
ADSL ISP Settings
screen shown in
Figure 2-4
by selecting the primary menu
option
Network Configuration
and the sub-menu option
WAN Settings
.
2.
Click
Auto Detect
at the bottom of the screen to automatically detect the type of Internet
connection provided by your ISP. Auto Detect will probe for different connection methods and
suggest one that your ISP will most likely support.
When Auto Detect successfully detects an active Internet service, it reports which connection type
it discovered. The options are described in the
Table 2-1., “Internet Service Connections”
.
To automatically configure your Ethernet ISP settings and connect to the Internet:
1.
Select the
Ethernet ISP Settings
screen similar to the one shown in
Figure 2-5
should display.
2.
Click
Auto Detect
at the bottom of the screen to automatically detect the type of Internet
connection provided by your ISP. Auto Detect will probe for different connection methods and
suggest one that your ISP will most likely support.
Note:
You might want to enable remote management at this time so that you can log
in remotely in the future to manage the gateway. See
“Enabling Remote
Management Access” on page 6-8
for more information. Remote management
enable is cleared with a factory default reset.
Note:
When you enable remote management, we strongly advise that you change
your password. See
“Changing the Passwords and Login Time-out” on page 6-
7
for the procedure on how to do this.
Note:
To enable Auto-Rollover, you must have both ADSL and Ethernet ports connected
and configured. If you intend to configure both, configure your primary WAN port
first.
