Basic Installation
Configuring the Thomson Gateway (and your computer)
Proceed as follows:
1 Depending on the selected service profile and your ISP's requirements, you may have to fill in some
additional settings during the Home Install Wizard, like Dynamic DNS Service, Time Configuration, DMZ
Port Assignment or other.
Enter the information provided by your ISP and click Next whenever requested.
2 Your ISP might ask you to specify Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community settings.
SNMP is a protocol to monitor and deliver reports on SLA performance. With the help of SNMP, your ISP
can be pro-actively aware of network problems, even before you are.
A community name serves as password and authentication. The community name you specify is
associated with a specific MIB view (which MIB objects are to be seen by the ISP) and access policy: read-
only or read-write (in case your ISP needs to be able to modify values of the MIB). It is advisable not to
leave these fields blank.
Click Next to continue.
3 To protect the wireless connections to your Thomson ST608 WL/620, move the slide control to the
desired security mode.

stations are available:
