Basic Installation And Configuration - NETGEAR ProSafe DGFV338 Reference Manual

This section provides instructions for connecting the DGFV338. Typically, it takes approximately
seven steps to complete connecting all facets of your gateway:
1. Connect the gateway physically to your network. If connecting through a modem, power
off and disconnect the modem before starting. Connect the cables after turning off your
modem, if you are connecting through your Ethernet port.
If connecting through the built-in ADSL modem, connect the wireless firewall to a microfilter,
and then connect the microfilter to your phone jack (see
on page 2-2 for instructions on using microfilters).
For additional instructions on connecting your ProSafe DGFV338, refer to the DGFV338
ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Installation Guide on your Resource CD
or to the NETGEAR Website for an online electronic copy.
2. Restart your network in the correct sequence. It is important to pay attention to the order in
which you restart your network. Then, check the LEDs and make sure the test lights are
working appropriately.
3. Log into the gateway. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your gateway.
You can also change your password and enable remote management at this time.
4. Configure the WAN Setup options for your ISP Internet connection(s). During this phase,
you will connect to your ISP(s). You can also program the WAN traffic meters at this time.
5. Configure the WAN mode for your Internet connection(s). You can also configure the
dynamic DNS on the WAN ports (if needed).
You can configure either the ADSL ISP or the Ethernet ISP or you can enable both ADSL and
Ethernet ISPs, and configure them to operate in Auto-rollover mode. You can also configure
Advanced options such as the factory default MTU size, port speed, and uplink bandwidth.
6. Set up your wireless LANs. Select the appropriate Country/Region and Operating Mode for
your antenna configuration.
Because the wireless interface is disabled by default, the initial wireless configuration must be
made from a wired connection (either via ADSL or Ethernet). During this step, you can also
choose the wireless security method for your LAN gateway; for example, versions of either
WEP or WPA.
