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.

Chapter 3
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.
Figure 7: Network Configuration
2.
Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card.
