Figure 1.2: Hardware Configuration
1.2 Basic Setup
Connecting your computer or local network to the GlobeSurfer 3G is a simple
procedure, varying slightly depending on your operating system. The setup is
designed to seamlessly integrate GlobeSurfer 3G with your computer or local
network.
The Windows default network settings will in most cases make the setup pro-
cedure described below unnecessary. For example, the default DHCP setting
in Windows is client, requiring no further modification.
However, it is advised to follow the setup procedure described below to verify
that all communication parameters are valid and that the physical cable con-
nections are correct.
The basic setup procedure consists of three consecutive configuration steps
(Please refer to figure 1.2):
1. Setting up LAN and WAN connections [1.3]
2. PC network configuration [1.4]
3. GlobeSurfer 3G Quick Setup [1.5]
1.3 Step 1 - Setting up LAN and WAN Connections
1.3.1 LAN Connection
Your computer can connect to the GlobeSurfer 3G either with a fixed cable
connection or with a wireless connection.
If you want to use a fixed connection, connect a standard Ethernet RJ-45 cable
(Category 5) between the LAN socket on the GlobeSurfer 3G and the corre-
sponding Ethernet LAN port of your PC network card. Consult the GlobeSurfer
3G User Guide for more information about the LAN port.
