Preparation
Before attempting to configure the Gateway, please ensure that:
•
Your computer can establish a physical connection to the Gateway. The computer and the DSL
Gateway must be directly connected using either the USB or Ethernet ports on the Gateway.
•
The SpeedStream Gateway is installed correctly and powered on.
•
The TCP/IP protocol is installed on all computers on your network. (If you need to install
TCP/IP, refer to your system documentation or Windows Help.)
•
The network settings on each computer have been correctly configured.
From this point on, you will perform all configuration of the SpeedStream Gateway from your computer
using the Web browser-based setup program.
Connecting to the Gateway
Using UPnP
(Windows XP and Me)
If your Windows operating system supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and UPnP is enabled, an
icon for the Gateway appears in the system tray (near the time display), notifying you that a new network
device has been found and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly discovered device.
Note
: You must be logged in as administrator or be a user with administrative rights for Windows 2000
and XP to be able to install the drivers for the Gateway.
1.
Unless you intend to change the IP address of the Gateway, you can accept the desktop shortcut.
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can find UPnP devices in
My Network Places
(previously called
Network Neighborhood
).
2.
Double-click the icon for the Gateway (either on the desktop or in
My Network Places
) to access the
Gateway’s configuration program.
