Internet Access
From your Macintosh, you can access the Internet via the Wireless Gateway. The procedure is
as follows.
1.
Open the TCP/IP Control Panel.
2.
Select Ethernet from the Connect via pop-up menu.
3.
Select Using DHCP Server from the Configure pop-up menu. The DHCP Client ID field
can be left blank.
4.
Close the TCP/IP panel, saving your settings.
Note:
If using manually assigned IP addresses instead of DHCP, the only change required is to
set the Router Address field to the Wireless Gateway's IP Address.
Printing
If you wish to share the printer connected to the Wireless Gateway, using a LaserWriter or
compatible is strongly recommended.
If the printer connected to the Wireless Gateway is NOT a LaserWriter, ensure that:
•
The Printer Object Type on the Wireless Gateway's Printer Port screen is set correctly.
•
Each Macintosh has the correct printer driver for the printer. The Wireless Gateway will
not process the print data in any way, but merely forward it to the printer.
Installing the Printer
To gain access to the printer connected to the Wireless Gateway, follow this procedure:
1.
Select Control Panel - Network.
2.
Ensure that EtherTalk is selected under AppleTalk Connection.
3.
Open Chooser, and select the correct printer type (e.g. LaserWriter).
4.
From the list of available printers on the right, select the Wireless Gateway, then click
Create.
5.
The new printer will be created, and can be used like any other printer.
