Chapter 4: Connecting the ADSL2 Gateway with 4-Port
Switch
Overview
The Gateway’s setup consists of more than simply plugging hardware together. You will have to configure your
networked computers to accept the IP addresses that the Gateway assigns them (if applicable), and you will also
have to configure the Gateway with setting(s) provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup information for your modem with you after
installing your broadband connection. If not, you can call your ISP to request that data.
After you have the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet connection, you can begin
installation and setup of the Gateway.
Connection to a Computer
1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered off, including the Gateway and
all computers.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the Ethernet ports (labeled 1-4) on the back of the
Gateway (see Figure 4-1), and the other end to an Ethernet port on a computer.
3. Repeat this step to connect more computers, a switch, or other network devices to the Gateway.

NOTE:
A small device called a microfilter (not included) may be necessary between each
phone and wall jack to prevent interference. Contact your ISP if you have any questions.
