Wall-Mount Filter

For a wall-mounted telephone, install a wall

mount filter:

1.

Remove the telephone.

2.

Connect the wall mount filter to the wall

plate.

3.

Reconnect the telephone.

Two-to-One Adapter

If your DSL router and another device will share

the same telephone jack, install a two-to-one

adapter:

1.

Plug a two-to-one adapter into the telephone

jack.

2.

Plug a line filter into one of the sockets of the

two-to-one adapter. The other socket will be

used to connect the DSL cable.

3.

Plug the device cord into the line filter.

Installation Methods

The SpeedStream Gateway provides ports for either a USB or an Ethernet connection to your primary

computer. Select the interface you will use to connect the Gateway, and follow the step-by-step

instructions below for your chosen installation method.

Ethernet Installation Method

To connect the SpeedStream Gateway via the

Ethernet interface, your computer must have an

Ethernet adapter (also called a network interface

card, or “NIC”)

installed.

If your computer does not have this adapter, you

will need to install it before proceeding further.

Refer to your Ethernet adapter documentation for

complete installation instructions.

Note:

For wireless connectivity, your SpeedStream Gateway may require an optional wireless interface

card. If your Gateway did not come with this card, contact your Internet Service Provider for options and

accessibility.

Operating System Configuration

This chapter details the configuration required for each computer on your network.

Overview

The operating system on each computer in your network, must have the TCP/IP network settings and

Internet access settings configured.

Windows Configuration

This section describes how to configure computers to share Internet access through the SpeedStream

Gateway:

The first step is to check each computer's TCP/IP protocol settings. Because the Gateway uses the TCP/IP

network protocol for all functions, it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured

properly on each computer.

If using the default Gateway settings and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, you do

not need to make any changes.

By default, the Gateway will act as a DHCP server, automatically providing a suitable IP address and

related information to each computer when the computer boots up. For all non-server versions of

Windows, the TCP/IP setting defaults to act as a DHCP client.

Checking TCP/IP Settings

(Windows 9x/ME)

1.

Select

Control Panel >Network

. The system responds with the “Network” window.

2.

Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card.
