Quick Setup

The quick setup feature is a simple way to configure the gateway with the most important settings. If you did not configure the gateway in EasyConfigurator, the following window appears automatically the first time you open the gateway's Web user interface (by opening the address 192.168.1.1). It also appears if you reset the gateway to its factory defaults:

To begin the quick setup, click Start.

Step 1. Configuring the Internet Connection

This is the first quick setup page:

In this page, you can set up the gateway's connection to the Internet. The most important settings are the connection protocol, VPI/VCI values, and various parameters specific to the connection protocol, such as a login user name and password. Your Internet Service Provider should be able to supply you with most of this information.

When you are done entering data in this page, click on Next.

Step 2. Wireless Network Name and Security Settings

This is the second quick setup page:

The gateway can be configured to continuously transmit the network name, so setting a meaningful name will helps you configure wireless communications with your computers. You will probably want to replace the default network name that appears in the top half of this page.

U.S. Robotics strongly urges you to select the Secure the gateway... checkbox. The Pass phrase is text you will need to enter if you wish to further configure your gateway's security. It's similar to a password, and you should enter a phrase that would not be easy to guess but that you will be able to remember. Click here for more information about wireless security.

Click Next to continue.

Step 3. Gateway Login

When you open the gateway's Web User Interface to work with the gateway settings, you will need to log in with a user name of admin. In this page, enter the password you want to use with this admin account.

Enter a password and click Next.

Step 4. Wrapping Up

You are now nearly done with the quick setup process. Click Finish to save your configuration to the gateway.
