Connecting the FWG114P v2 to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the router on your local area network (LAN) and connect to
the Internet. You will find out how to configure your ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print

configure your Internet connection.
What You Will Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare these three things before you begin:
1. An active Internet service, such as those provided by a cable or DSL broadband account.
2. Locate the Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your broadband
account.
3. Connect the router to a broadband modem and a computer as explained below.
Cabling and Computer Hardware Requirements
To use the FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server on your network, each computer must
have an installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer
will connect to your network at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable, such as the
one provided with your router.
Computer Network Configuration Requirements
The FWG114P v2 includes a built-in Web Configuration Manager. To access the configuration
menus on the FWG114P v2, you must use a Java-enabled Web browser program that supports
HTTP uploads, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator versions 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for
Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
