HomePortal® 4111N/4112N Intelligent Gateway Installation Guide
Most laptops are equipped with an internal 802.11b/g card. If your computer is not equipped with an internal
card, you can install an external wireless adapter for wireless networking.
Note The default network name (SSID) and the encryption key (64-bit hex value) is located at the bottom
label on the side of the Pace gateway (for example, 1234567891). Mac OS X users may have to enter the
"$" character at the beginning of the encryption key (for example, $1234567891).
To connect the computer and the gateway using wireless AP:
1. Install and configure your wireless adapter, if required.
2. View the available wireless network connections. Use the network adapter client or Windows Wireless
Network Connection wizard to view the wireless connections.
3. Select the network name of the gateway from the menu, and click Connect. A prompt to enter the
network key appears.
4. Enter the encryption key and click Connect. Refer the note above for the location of the key.
Once the gateway recognizes the wireless client, the WIRELESS LED turns steady green, and then starts
flickering once the wireless client starts the data transfer with the gateway.

Note You can configure Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) for simplifying the process of connecting any home
device to the wireless network using the PIN or PUSH method. PIN method establishes wireless
connectivity using the PIN generated by the wireless client. Use this method to enter the PIN generated
by the wireless client in the Device PIN text box on the user interface of the gateway and click Connect.
The PUSH method establishes the wireless connectivity if you push the WPS button found at the front
panel of the gateway followed by using the PUSH method on the client device (as advised by the
manufacturer of the wireless client).
