Verifying TCP/IP Properties for Macintosh Computers
After your Macintosh is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP configuration by
returning to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP.
The panel is updated to show your settings, which should match the values below if you are using
the default TCP/IP settings that NETGEAR recommends:
•
IP addresses—192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.253
•
The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
•
The default gateway is 192.168.0.1
If you do not see these values, you may need to restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch
the “Configure” setting to a different option, then back again to “Using DHCP Server”.

Verifying the Readiness of Your DSL Internet Account
For access to the Internet, you need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a
single-user Internet access account using a DSL modem.
For a single-user Internet account, your ISP supplies TCP/IP configuration information. With a
typical account, much of the configuration information is dynamically assigned when your
computer is first booted up while connected to the ISP, and you will not need to know that dynamic
information.
Are Login Protocols Used?
Some ISPs require login protocol which requires you to enter a login name and password in order
to access the Internet. If you run a program such as WinPOET or EnterNet to connect to your
Internet account, then your account uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
If login protocols are used, you can configure your modem to operate in router mode. After the
modem is configured, it will perform the login task when needed, and you will no longer need to
run the login program from your computer. It is not necessary to uninstall the login program.
If you prefer to run the software on your computer which performs the login, you can do so by
configuring the modem to operate in Modem Device Mode.
Is Your ISP Configuration for a Static IP Address?
More and more, ISPs are dynamically assigning configuration information. However, if your ISP
does not dynamically assign configuration information but instead gave you a fixed configuration,
your ISP should have given you the following basic information for your account:
•
An IP address and subnet mask
•
A gateway IP address, which is the address of the ISP’s router
•
One or more domain name server (DNS) IP addresses
•
Host name and domain suffix
For example, your account’s full server names may look like this:
mail.xxx.yyy.com
In this example, the domain suffix is
xxx.yyy.com
.

Preparing Your Computer
If an ISP technician configured your computer during the installation of the service for a static IP
address, or if you configured it for a static IP address using instructions provided by your ISP, you
need to be sure you have that configuration information recorded. You will need to configure your
computer’s TCP/IP settings to use a static IP address, , then connect to the modem to configure it.
Once the modem is set to operate in Modem Device Mode, you will need to reconfigure your
computer with the TCP/IP configuration you recorded from your ISP.
Restarting the Computer
Once you’ve set up your computer to work with the modem, you must reset the devices to be able
to communicate correctly.
1.
Pull the modem’s power adapter out of the socket on the back, then put it back in to reset
it, and wait about 10 seconds.
2.
Restart the computer that is connected to the modem.
Ready for Configuration
After configuring your computer for TCP/IP networking and connecting it to the DM602 modem,
you are ready to access and configure the modem. Proceed to the next chapter.

Chapter 4
Basic Configuration of the Modem
This chapter describes how to perform the basic configuration of your Model DM602 ADSL
Modem
for your Internet connection.
Accessing the Web Configuration Manager in the Modem
In order to use the browser-based Web Configuration Manager built into the modem, your
computer must have a web browser program installed such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator. Because the Configuration Manager uses Java, your Web browser must be
Java-enabled and support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet
Explorer 4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for
Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
To configure the modem for Internet access using your browser:
1.
Turn on the modem and wait at least ten seconds for initialization to complete.
If you normally use a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET to access the Internet, do
not launch that program.
2.
Configure your computer with the static IP address of 192.168.0.2, and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. If you need assistance with this, please refer to “Preparing Your Computer for
TCP/IP Networking“ on page 3-1.
3.
Launch your web browser, and click your browser’s Stop button.In the Address or Location
box of your browser, type
and press ENTER.
A login window opens as shown in
