System Requirements
Before starting, you must ensure the following:
You already have a cable or DSL broadband connection to the Internet, with
a suitable modem, and that this connection works properly. The modem
must have an Ethernet port for connection to your Gateway.
You have a computer that has an Ethernet connection available and is
already correctly configured for communication with the Internet. Your
computer must be able to connect to the Internet via the modem, and must
have a Web browser installed.
There are no other DHCP server devices on your local network that are
responsible for allocating IP addresses to your computers and other network-
connected devices. Your Gateway will now perform this function by default.
If one or more of these conditions are not met, refer to the comprehensive
Gateway User Guide provided for further guidance.

If the LED is on, the link between the port and the
next piece of network equipment is OK. If the LED is
flashing, the link is OK and data is being transmitted
or received. If the LED is off, nothing is connected, or
the connected device is switched off, or there is a
problem with the connection (refer to the "Problem
Solving" section).

green (100Mbps link) / yellow (10Mbps link)
If the LED is on, the link between the Gateway and
the cable or DSL modem is OK. If the LED is flashing,
the link is OK and data is being transmitted or
received. If the LED is off, nothing is connected, the
modem is switched off or there is a problem (refer to

POSITIONING YOUR GATEWAY
Safety Information
WARNING: Please read the 'Important Safety Information' section in the
Support and Safety Information sheet before you start.
VORSICHT: Bitte lesen Sie den Abschnitt 'Wichtige
Sicherheitsinformationen' sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie das Gerät einschalten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Veuillez lire attentivement la section "Consignes
importantes de sécurité" avant de mettre en route.
When positioning your Gateway, ensure:
It is out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.
Cabling is away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and
sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters and broadband
amplifiers.
Water or moisture cannot enter the case of the unit.
Air flow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case
is not restricted. We recommend you provide a minimum of 25mm
(1in.) clearance.
Using the Rubber Feet
Use the four self-adhesive rubber feet to prevent your Gateway from
moving around on your desk or when stacking with other flat top
OfficeConnect units. Only stick the feet to the marked areas at each
corner of the underside of your Gateway.

5 Power Adapter socket
Only use the power adapter that is supplied with
this Gateway. Do not use any other adapter.
6 Ethernet Cable/DSL port
Use the supplied patch cable to connect the
Gateway to the 10/100 port on your cable or DSL
modem. This port will automatically adjust for the
correct speed, duplex and cable type. Which means
you can connect to your Cable/DSL modem using
either straight-through or crossover cables.
7 Four 10/100 LAN ports
Use suitable cable with RJ-45 connectors. You can
connect your Gateway to a computer, or to any
other piece of equipment that has an Ethernet
connection (for example, a hub or a switch). These
ports will automatically adjust for the correct speed,
duplex mode and cable type, which means that you
can connect devices to your Gateway using either
straight-through or crossover cables.
