Frequently Asked Questions
ADSL2 Gateway with 4-Port Switch
How can I check whether I have static or DHCP IP Addresses?
Consult your ISP to obtain this information.
How do I get mIRC to work with the Gateway?
Under the Port Forwarding tab, set port forwarding to 113 for the computer on which you are using mIRC.
Can the Gateway act as my DHCP server?
Yes. The Gateway has DHCP server software built-in.
What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the manufacturer to any Ethernet
networking device, such as a network adapter, that allows the network to identify it at the hardware level. For all
practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP addresses, which can change every time a
computer logs onto the network, the MAC address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for
the network.
How do I reset the Gateway?
Press the Reset button on the back panel for about ten seconds. This will reset the Gateway to its default settings.
How many channels/frequencies are available with the Gateway?
There are eleven available channels, ranging from 1 to 11 (in North America).
