Please be sure that you are following the proper instruction set for your operating system. Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/Me begins on this page. Configuring Your Computer with Windows 2000 begins on page 6. Configuring Your Computer with Windows NT 4.0 begins on page 8. Configuring Your Macintosh Computer begins on page 10. Configuring Your Computer with Windows 95/98/Me You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps were created from Windows 98. Windows 95 and Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to Windows 98. Step 1. Configure TCP/IP Settings After you have completed the hardware setup by connecting your devices, configure your computer to connect to your F5D6231-4 Gateway. Many ISPs issue these numbers automatically using a networking technology known as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP. Other ISPs will specify your IP address and associated numbers, which you must enter manually. This is also known as a static IP address. How your ISP assigns your IP address determines how you will configure your computer. Here is what to do:
1. 2. 3. From the Windows desktop, click the Start button. Choose Settings, then click Control Panel. From Control Panel Double-click the Network icon. In the Network window, under the Configuration tab, double-click the TCP/
IP component that is listed with your network card. 4. Select the IP Address tab. If Obtain an IP address automatically is already selected, your computer is already configured for DHCP. Click Cancel to close each window, and skip to Step 2 Disable HTTP Proxy. Locate your IP address and Subnet Mask. Record them in the spaces below. TCP/IP Configuration Setting IP Address Subnet Mask Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server Default Gateway Host Name ____.____.____.____ ____.____.____.____ ____.____.____.____ ____.____.____.____ ____.____.____.____ 5. 4 CONFIGURING YOUR COMPUTER 6. Click the Gateway tab and record the numbers listed under Installed gateways. 7. Click the DNS Configuration tab. Locate the DNS servers listed under DNS Server Search Order. Record any listed addresses. 8. After writing down your settings, check to make sure you have recorded them correctly. Click the IP Address tab and then click Obtain an IP address automatically. After then, click OK. 9. Windows may need your Windows 95/98/Me CD to copy some files. After it finishes copying, it will then prompt you to restart your system. Click Yes and your computer will shut down and restart. Step 2. Disable HTTP Proxy You will need to verify that the HTTP Proxy feature of your Web browser is disabled.

Open your Web browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and click the stop button. 2. In the Address field type http://192.168.2.1 or http://192.168.2.1:88 and press <ENTER> on your keyboard. 3. On the main page of the Gateway Web console, you will see the Gateway status information as below. There is no password by default. For security reasons, you should assign a password as soon as possible (refer to page 19 for password setting). Notes: 1. That the password login is case sensitive. 2. For detail setting, please refer to online Help function. 12 CONFIGURING YOUR GATEWAY Configuring LAN 1. The F5D6231-4 is equipped with a DHCP server, which means that will automatically assign IP addresses to each computer on your network, and it will work properly in most applications. 2. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway provided to you by your ISP in the appropriate fields. You recorded these numbers earlier when you configured your computer to connect to the Gateway. 3. If you have any difficulty for LAN setting, please refer to online Help function. 13 INSTALLATION GUIDE Configuring Internet/WAN The Router is capable of connecting to virtually any Internet Service Provider's system provided that you have correctly configured the Router's settings for your ISP's connection type. To configure the Router to connect to your ISP, click on "Connection type" on the Internet/WAN Tab on the left of the screen. For specific settings, select your connection type, then click Next to proceed. 14 CONFIGURING YOUR GATEWAY A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.belkin.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are connecting to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that your DNS servers are also provided dynamically. If you are connecting to the Internet with a dynamic IP address, you probably do not need to enter anything here. Some ISPs register the MAC Address of your network card. A MAC (Media Access Control) Address is a unique identification number (in hexadecimal digits) given to each networking device. Once your MAC address is registered, the ISPs server will verify that the MAC address you are connecting with matches the one thats registered. If it does not match, you cannot connect. The F5D6231-4 Wireless Gateways MAC Address will not be the same as your network cards addressand therefore will not be the same as the address that your ISP has registeredso you may need the Gateway to Clone the address from your network card. Then the ISP will find a MAC Address that matches the one they have recorded. Your ISP may have assigned you a host name. If so, enter it in the Host Name Field. Otherwise, enter your Adapter Address in the Mac Address Field. Click Clone button. 15 INSTALLATION GUIDE Configuring Wireless You may need to change certain settings for your wireless network card to communicate with the Gateway. SSID: default (WLAN) Channel: 11 for North America; 13 for European (ETSI); 2 for Spain; 3 for France; 14 for Japan Note: We recommend establishing your wired connections to the Gateway before setting up your wireless connections. 16 CONFIGURING YOUR GATEWAY Configuring Firewall The F5D6231-4 is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including Ping of Death (PoD) and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. Some Internet applications may not work well with the firewall feature enabled, however, this is highly unlikely. You can turn the firewall function off if it is interfering with an application's function. Turning off the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you turn the firewall on whenever possible. This Gateway Router keeps a log of all activity within the router such as computers logging in and out and any attempts from the Internet to access the router. 17 INSTALLATION GUIDE Configuring Utilities The F5D6231-4 lets you manage functions such as assign a password, setting the time zone, save and backup your configuration, and update firmware. Before making any change, please read the direction carefully. 1. Click the Reset Router button to reset the configuration. Note:
It may be necessary to Reset or Reboot the router if it begins working improperly. 2. To restore the factory default settings, click the "Restore Defaults" button. Note: Before you restore all of the defaults, recommended you backup your present settings. 18 CONFIGURING YOUR GATEWAY 3. Mostly, Belkin may release new versions of the Router's firmware time to time. Firmware updates contain improvements and fixes to problems that may have existed. Click the link below to see if there is a new firmware update available online for this Router. 4. The F5D6231-4 enters with NO password. For more security, you should add a password here. As you will need this password if you need to log into the router in the future, therefore, keep your password in a safe place. Note:
It is recommended that you set a password here if you plan to use the Remote management feature. Congratulations! Configuration is complete and your F5D6231-4 Wireless Gateway is now connected to the Internet. There are also some advanced configuration options that may be configured, but we do not recommend making any changes to these options unless you need to. 19 INSTALLATION GUIDE Common Configurations for Popular ISPs WAN Types Characteristics Popular ISPs Dynamic IP
