BASIC CONFIGURATION
IMPORTANT:
The following sections assume that you have active DSL and Internet service.
Your Gateway allows you to make changes to the configurable features of your Gateway, such as account profiles,
routing configurations, wireless settings, and security settings. The following sections explain each feature and show
you how to make changes to the Gateway’s settings. The main menu, displayed at the top of each page, allows you
to navigate to the various configuration screens of your Gateway. Whenever you change the configurable settings of
your Gateway, you must click
save
(or
apply
where applicable) to allow the changes to take effect in the Gateway.
To configure the settings in your Gateway, follow the instructions provided in sections 10 through 14.
NOTE:
The menu options displayed will vary according to the configuration you have chosen to use:
LAN
Ethernet port
or
WAN Uplink port
. If you are using WAN Uplink port, some menu options will not be available.
However, all menu options will be available when the Gateway is configured for LAN Ethernet port. Instructions on
enabling and disabling LAN Ethernet port and WAN Uplink port are explained in the section 14.4.3, “VersaPort.”
This document was created with the Gateway configured for LAN Ethernet port mode.
