The methods depend on whether you want to:
Set up a new network Add the gateway to an existing network Overview of a new network The gateway lets you share an Internet connection among all PCs. You can connect up to sixteen wireless PCs and up to 4 Ethernet devices to share the Internet connection. Each PC must have either:
An 802.11b (Wi-Fi*) adapter or An Ethernet adapter The following diagram shows how such a network might look. Internet Power System Internet Link Activity Wireless 1 2 3 4 Ethernet Wireless Gateway II You can also create an entirely wireless network of desktop and laptop PCs. It is not a requirement to have an Ethernet-connected PC attached to the gateway. In the previous diagram, eliminate the wired PC. The gateway manages communication between all PCs and the Internet, as well as resource sharing (drives and printers) between PCs. This is an excellent way to create 2 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 3 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Overview of an existing network Chapter 1 Overview a standalone wireless network in your home or small office. The instructions for setting up a new network are covered in the Installation Guide. If your home or small business network already provides Internet access and you just want to add wireless capability to your existing Ethernet network (LAN), you can configure the gateway as an access point. In this configuration, the gateway connects wireless PCs to the wired network. The Internet is accessed through the wired network (if applicable). The following diagram shows how such a network might look. Existing Ethernet network with Internet access Power System Internet Link Activity Wireless 1 2 3 4 Ethernet Wireless Gateway II In the above scenario, the gateway is connected to a hub or switch through one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the gateway. The Internet port is not used. More than four PCs with Ethernet adapters require a hub or switch and the appropriate cables, for up to 16 wired PCs. See Setting Up the Gateway on a Network on page 13 to begin setting up the gateway on an existing network. Features of the Intel Wireless Gateway II Using the gateway, you can share Internet access seamlessly among all the computers on your network whether you are using Ethernet or 802.11b Wireless 3 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 4 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 1 Overview

The gateway also has settings to control the broadband modem, called ISP settings. It is important to correctly enter these settings. Accessing the configuration software To enter WLAN or ISP settings for the gateway, use the gateway configuration software. This software is in read-
only memory (ROM) inside the gateway. Step-by-step 1 Click Start > Programs > Intel AnyPoint > Intel Wireless Gateway II 1210 > Network Setup Utility. 2 When prompted to change the gateway settings, click Yes. or
Open a browser (either Microsoft Internet Explorer*
or Netscape Navigator*) and type the gateways IP address, 192.168.0.10 (unless you changed the default gateway IP address). If you have not filled out the Install Information Worksheet, do so now. The worksheet helps you gather and record wireless and ISP settings that you need to configure the gateway. Following are brief descriptions of both types of settings and how they are used. Wireless settings Wireless settings determine which wireless devices can communicate with the gateway. The wireless settings on the PC's adapter must match the gateway's wireless settings before the two devices can communicate. 9 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 10 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 1 Overview The settings you must use are the following:
Network Name (SSID) Encryption Key
You rarely need to change these settings. You can use the default values.
Transfer rate: Automatic Channel: 11 Header Length: Long (preamble) The Network Name (also called SSID) determines which devices can communicate on your wireless network. To be on the same network, all devices must have the same Network Name. When a PC tries to join a wireless network, it sends its Network Name to the Intel Wireless Gateway. If the Network Names on both devices match, the PC is permitted to join. The Network Name is also called network ID code, SSID (service set identifier), or ESSID (extended service set identifier). The gateway has a default Network Name of Intel Gateway. The network name is case sensitive. For security purposes, we highly recommend you change the default name. If you have an existing wireless device, you can give the gateway the same Network Name as your existing wireless devices, or you can create a new Network Name and use it on all of your wireless devices. See Changing Network Name (SSID) on page 26. Encryption provides additional data security by converting all of the information that is transmitted over a wireless network into a form that can be read only by devices that have the same encryption key. Before sending information, the device encodes the information using the key. The receiving device uses the same key to decode the information. To be on the same network, all devices must have the same encryption key. Network Name
(SSID) Encryption 10 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 11 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 1 Overview There are two ways to set encryption:
Generate a key from text. Enter the same text key you used on your existing wireless devices, or create a new one and use it on all of your wireless devices. The text you use can be any character but it must be exactly 5 characters or 13 characters long. Five characters provides 40(64)-bit encryption, while the 13 character string provides 104(128)-bit encryption. The software automatically generates a hexadecimal encryption key from the text you enter. To see the key that was generated, go to the Status screen and click Details. See Generate an encryption key from text on page 28. Enter a key manually. If the network you are connecting the gateway to was configured by manually entering a hexadecimal key (also called a WEP key), you must use this option. See Manually enter encryption keys on page 29.
Using data encryption may slightly affect wireless performance. You can choose an encryption security level of either 40(64)-bit or 104(128)-bit. If you have already installed a modem, you should be familiar with these settings. ISP settings control your Internet connection between the gateway and your modem. If your modem requires any settings to be made, your ISP has provided them. For more information about the ISP settings, refer to the online Help or the Install Information Worksheet. ISP settings 11 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 12 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 1 Overview Where to find more information For more information, go to the following sources for help.

If you do not have wireless adapters for your PCs, you do not need to set the Network Name (SSID) or the Network encryption settings. Important! Be sure to enter the same Network Name
(SSID) and network encryption key on each adapter on your wireless network. If you are a Windows XP user, see Using Windows* XP Client Configuration Manager on page 18 for details. All wireless networks have an assigned Network Name
(SSID) to the wireless network (SSID is sometimes called ESSID or many other possible naming conventions). As the network administrator for your network, you can create (or change) this name. When a computer tries to join a wireless network, its network adapter sends the SSID to the Intel Wireless Gateway. If the SSID of the wireless adapters and the Intel Wireless Gateway are the same, and the encryption settings match (if any), the computer is permitted to join. Changing Network Name
(SSID) 26 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 27 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 3 Changing the Gateway Settings Step-by-step 1 Open the Wireless Gateway screen, and then click Setup Wizard. 2 From the Setup Wizard, click Network Name.

Click Save/Next until you see the Save & Restart button to activate and restart your gateway. 27 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 28 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 3 Changing the Gateway Settings Changing or disabling your encryption settings In a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), use encryption to implement security and protect your information. Because wireless clients and access points send and receive information using radio waves, it is much easier for an unauthorized person to intercept the information unless you protect the information through encryption. Network Encryption does not provide absolute protection for your data, but it does make it more difficult for someone else to intercept that data. For conceptual information on encryption, see Encryption on page 10. The longer the encryption key is, the stronger the encryption. The gateway uses either a 40(64)-bit key or a 104(128)-bit key. The 104(128)-bit key has several trillion times as many possible combinations as a 40(64)-bit key. For added security, periodically change the value of your keys. Important! The gateway and each adapter in the network must have the same settings for encryption. If you have all AnyPoint adapters, or are using Windows XP to configure your adapters, you can create an encryption key from a 5 or 13 character string. Five characters provides 40(64)-bit encryption, while the 13 character string provides 104(128)-bit encryption. The string you enter must be exactly 5 or 13 characters.

Upgrade your configuration software You can periodically check the Web to see if there are any new upgrades to the configuration software. Once 42 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 43 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set
youve downloaded the file to your computer, click Browse to find and install the upgrade. Reset your gateway When you click Reset, you restart your gateway using the current settings. Load default settings When you click default, your gateway restores the factory settings and returns you to the initial Wireless Gateway screen. Establishing routing protocols Changing your routing protocols is only applicable when you are connecting your gateway to an existing network that already uses routing protocols. It may be necessary to route protocols if you have more than one gateway in your system. Your gateway allows two types of routing protocols: Dynamic and Static. With Dynamic routing, your gateway uses an internal algorithm to automatically adjust the best routing protocol to other gateways (if there are any) in your network. With Static routing, you can set an explicit route when you set the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address. 43 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 44 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set Dynamic routing 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced Settings, click Routing Information.

Static routing 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced Settings, click Routing Information. 44 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 45 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set 3 When the Static Routing Table fields appear, type in the values for:
Destination IP Address: The address of the remote network or host. Subnet Mask: Assigns the portions of the IP address that are assigned for the network and the host.
Gateway IP Address: The IP address of the gateway. 4 Click Add to send the values to the Static Routing Table. 5 Click Apply to save your changes in the gateway. Refining DHCP server addressing Note DHCP is automatically disabled when your gateway is set in Access Point Mode. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server can select and configure TCP/IP settings automatically for every computer in your network. The DHCP Server Settings screen lets you enable or disable DHCP services. If you enable the server, you can use the default IP address range that the server selects, or select a specified range. You can also select a specific address for specialized servers in your network, such as for e-
mail, the Web, and FTP (as long as the addresses are in an acceptable range). 45 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 46 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set Step-by-step 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced settings, click DHCP Server Settings. The following appears. 3 Select Enable DHCP Server Functions if you want to enable the DHCP server. Otherwise, clear this check box and click Apply. 4 If you enabled the server, review the default settings
(if any). Type any new IP addresses in the reserved boxes for local network facilities such as e-mail, the Web, or an FTP server. 5 Click Apply. Your changes are sent to the other adapters in the network immediately. Assigning virtual server settings The Virtual Server settings (sometimes called port mapping) allow you to specify virtual addresses for special services such as telnet, HTTP, FTP, IRC, SMTP, POP3, and others. Your Intel Wireless Gateway II has an integrated Network Address Translation (NAT) firewall that prevents any 46 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 47 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set unrequested data from entering your network. Most applications (like Web browsing or e-mail) are unaffected by the NAT firewall because the information that is returned has been requested by a PC on your network. However, some applications (such as games and Internet messaging) experience problems because the NAT firewall blocks data that is needed for them to function correctly. The settings listed on the Virtual Server menu correct the problems experienced by some applications by allowing unrequested data to pass through commonly used services to the PC with the IP Address that was entered. In addition, you can select All (DMZ) to allow unrequested data to pass through all parts of your NAT Firewall to that PC. This disables the NAT firewall for that PC and should only be done if you experience connection problems, or if you have additional firewall software installed on that PC. Note If you add a third-party firewall to a PC, you may be required to configure it to allow internal network communication. Refer to the third-party documentation for assistance. 47 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 48 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set Step-by-step 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced Settings, click Virtual Server Settings. The following appears. 3 Select a service, then type the address for that service. 4 Click Apply to save the addresses in the gateway. Custom Virtual Server Settings Port forwarding is useful if you have a Web server running on a computer on your local network. It allows you to direct traffic to a specific computer on your network automatically. You may also need port forwarding to host some multi-
player games, for video phone applications, and for other interactive applications. Port forwarding only applies to unsolicited inbound traffic. If you enter an address to access a Web page on the Internet, the Web page is displayed on your browser. This is known as solicited traffic. 48 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 49 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set If you dont use port forwarding, then all unsolicited inbound traffic is blocked by the gateways internal firewall. Depending on the application or game that requires port forwarding, you may find configuration information in its documentation or on the Web. You can create a custom rule that defines a specific port and protocol for unsolicited inbound traffic. To create a custom rule 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced Settings, click Virtual Server Settings. 3 Under Custom Settings, type an address, and then click Custom Settings. 4 Enter a port number or range of ports in the Firewall Port field. 5 Select a transport layer protocol from the Protocol list. 6 For increased security purposes, optionally enter a Source IP Address as one of the criteria for the port forward packet to satisfy. You must also specify a Source IP Address to forward certain transport layer protocols like ICMP, GRE, and so on from a client on the Internet to one of the local clients. (If you select such a transport protocol and do not specify a Source IP Address, you will be prompted to do so when you click Apply.) Ports can be forwarded individually or as a range separated by a dash (for example, 23 or 24-1023). The port numbers can be entered in the table in any order. A range may be specified and then individual numbers within that range may be directed to a different IP address. For example, you may enter a range of 1-1024 49 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 50 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set in the Port field and an IP address of 192.168.0.251. You can then designate Ports 23, 80, and 53 to IP address 192.168.0.252. Traffic destined for Ports 23, 80, and 53 only go to IP address 192.168.0.252. Using access control features Using access control provides additional security beyond encryption. You can create a list of users that are granted access to your network based on their device ID, the Media Access Control (MAC) address. With access control, you can also create a list of users that are denied access. In normal operation, the access control features are disabled. Step-by-step 1 From the main Wireless Gateway screen, click Advanced Settings. 2 In the left column under Advanced Settings, click Access Control. 3 To create a list of users that you want to grant access to your gateway, click Enable the Grant Access List. If you are creating a list of users you want to deny access to, click the Enable the Deny Access List. The following screen appears. 50 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 51 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 4 Using the Advanced Feature Set 4 Type two hexadecimal characters in each box of the MAC address until are boxes are filled. 5 Click Add to add the device MAC address to the list.

Problem Ive made changes to the gateway, clicked Save and Restart, and now cant connect to the gateway Solution There are several possible solutions:
Youve changed a setting on the gateway, such as the Gateway IP address, disabled the DHCP server, 61 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 62 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 5 Troubleshooting or changed mode or wireless settings. Restart your PC and try connecting to the gateway again. If you still cannot connect to the gateway, reset the gateway to factory defaults. Locate the reset switch
(next to the antenna on the rear panel). Press the reset switch, using an open paper clip, for 5 seconds. Verify you can connect to the gateway from a wired connection. If you changed wireless settings, you can verify the settings youve changed from a wired PC. See Viewing more status details on page 25. See I cant connect to the gateway on page 56. Consult the solution that applies to your network
(wired or wireless network).
Problem Im experiencing intermittent connections Solution You are likely experiencing interference from other wireless devices (such as your microwave oven or cordless phone).
Make sure the antenna on the gateway is extended
(and on your USB adapters, if applicable). Increase the distance between wireless devices (for instance, dont position your gateway or adapters near your cordless phones base). If you live in a multi-level dwelling, change the direction of the antenna on the gateway to point directly toward you (when facing the rear panel). This provides better coverage for multi-level buildings. Switch to another channel on your cordless phone, if possible. Change the channel on the gateway to channel 1, 6, or 11 (these channels do not overlap each other). 62 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 63 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 5 Troubleshooting See Setting your operating channel on page 42 for more information. Note If you change the channel on your gateway, you need to reboot all your wireless connected PCs. Problem Im having trouble connecting to my Internet game server Solution Consult your documentation for your game to determine the correct ports to open for your game to operate correctly behind a firewall. See Assigning virtual server settings on page 46. Problem Im having trouble getting AOL* working Solution
Configure the AOL software connection setup for a TCP/IP (direct) or LAN connection. Save your settings then try again. You may not be able to have more than one instance of the AOL software open at the same time, for a given account. That is, if you are currently accessing the Internet on a PC using the AOL software, you may need to use another browser or another AOL account to access the Internet on another PC.
If you still cannot connect, then verify that you can access the Internet in general through another Web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer). If you are able to access the Internet, but cannot access AOL, then refer to your AOL documentation for help and technical support information.

The 802.11b standard allows different manufacturers to create wireless products that are compatible with each other. Ad Hoc Mode Also called Peer-to-Peer mode A software setting for 802.11b wireless adapters. Adapter Also network adapter or NIC A hardware device that allows your PC to connect to a network. A hardware device that serves as a communications hub for 802.11b wireless PCs and can also provide a connection to a wired network. An AP can double the range of wireless client PCs and provide enhanced security. Any printable alpha-numeric character. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol that defines a way to automatically assign IP addresses to computers on a network. IP addresses are managed by a DHCP server on the network. When a computer starts, it requests an IP address from the server. The server leases an address for a set time. After that time, the computer makes a new request. When a Windows*
computer is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, it attempts to get an address from a DHCP server. Windows 2000 and Windows NT* servers include DHCP server software that can provide this service. Network appliances that rely on TCP/IP often include a DHCP server. Access Point
(AP) ASCII characters DHCP 76 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 77 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 6 Glossary Driver (Device Driver) Special software programs required for any device to install properly on a PC. Devices include network adapters, printers, scanners, modems, audio cards, CD drives, monitors, and so on. Drivers enable the device to coordinate its activities with the PC to which it is attached. DNS Domain Name System. A naming service used to identify servers connected to the Internet. Every domain name is unique. DNS servers maintain a database of names and associated IP addresses, so Web users can browse to a domain name and reach the server at the associated IP address. Encryption A method of converting all of the information that is transmitted over a wireless network into a form that cannot be read by unauthorized persons. Encryption provides additional data security in 802.11b wireless networks. Ethernet Ethernet is defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet networks operate at 10 Mbps using CSMA/CD (Carrier-
Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) to run over 10BaseT cables. Ethernet address (MAC address) Each computer on an Ethernet network has its own unique, pre-programmed Media Access Control (MAC) address. This 12-digit hexadecimal address is encoded into the circuitry of the computer's network adapter when it is manufactured. Other devices on the network use this address to identify the computer. This address is not the same as the IP address that is assigned to computers on TCP/IP networks. On these networks, the IP address is associated with the MAC address to enable network communication. Firewall Software on a network gateway server that protects the computers on a private network from the Internet. The 77 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 78 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 6 Glossary firewall can also control what Internet resources local network computers can access. Gateway A network device that provides a bridge or entrance to another network. For example, a residential gateway can allow a wireless network to connect to an Ethernet network. Hexadecimal A base-16 number system. That is, a numbering system that counts 16 base unit numbers before adding a new digit. Hexadecimal numbers use 0-9 and then the letters A-F. For example, the letter A in hexadecimal represents 10 in decimal, F is 15 in decimal, and the hexadecimal number 10 is 16 in decimal. Hub The central connection point for network cables that connect to computers or other devices on a network. With an 8-port hub, you can connect cables to 8 computers Infrastructure Mode A software setting for 802.11b wireless adapters allowing connectivity to a central device, either a gateway or an access point. The gateway or access point handles the communication between PCs and often manages the Internet connection. See Ad Hoc and Access Point. IEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. ISP Internet Service Provider An organization that provides access to the Internet. Users connect with the ISP using a conventional or broadband modem. LAN Local Area Network A computer network that serves users within a defined location. The benefits include the sharing of Internet access, files and equipment like printers and storage devices. LANs use Ethernet cabling (10BaseT), existing 78 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 79 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Mbps NAT Chapter 6 Glossary phone lines or radio waves to transmit data between the PCs. LANs include home and small-business networks. Megabits per second, a measure of data transmission speed. Network Address Translation. A service that translates your local private IP addresses to a public Internet address so your privately addressed network can connect to the public Internet. NAT simplifies network setup and adds a measure of security to your network because your private network addresses are never seen on the Internet. Peer-to-Peer Mode See Ad Hoc Mode. Profiles
(Network Profiles) Protocols
(Network Protocols) Resources
(Network resources) A collection of software settings and network identification information that is unique for each network. Define the rules for all aspects of data communication, just like a written language uses rules for spelling, sentence structure, and so on. Protocols describe the way data is organized, transmitted and received. The TCP/IP protocol is one of the most common. Software or hardware shared by the users of a network. Resources can include software applications, documents, digital pictures and music, games, numeric data, and devices such as printers, modems and disk drives. Roaming Moving seamlessly from one access point coverage area to another with no loss in connectivity. SSID Service Set Identifier. To communicate with each other, all wireless devices on the same network must use the same SSID. The SSID allows two or more wireless 79 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 80 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 6 Glossary Subnet Subnet mask Switch 80 networks to function in the same vicinity without interfering with each other. The SSID can be a word or a combination of letters and numbers. A distinct separate part of a computer network. Often, computers in one building or location form a subnet. Dividing a large network into subnets isolates network traffic, enhances network performance, and provides a mechanism for organizing the network in a logical manner. You divide a network into subnets by connecting network segments with a router. On a TCP/IP network, IP routers connect subnets together. A mask used to determine the subnet for an IP address. IP addresses have two parts: a subnet address and the computer address. The subnet mask determines what part of the IP address is the subnet address. For example, if you have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, the first two numbers in your IP address are the subnet address. The last two numbers are your computer's address on the local network. Your computer uses the subnet mask to decide whether to send data to another computer on the local network, or to send the data to the address specified by your default gateway. If the subnet part of the address you are sending data to matches your IP address, then your computer tries to send the data on the local network. If these do not match, then the computer you are sending data to is on another subnet
(probably on the Internet), so your computer sends the data to your default gateway, and the gateway forwards it on to the Internet. Similar to a hub, a switch is a central connection point for network cables that connect to computers or other network devices. However, when two devices communicate through a switch, it sends signals directly from one port to the other port, instead of transmitting to all ports, like a hub does. You can connect a computer or a hub to each port on a switch. user_guide_rg1210.book Page 81 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM TCP/IP UPnP Chapter 6 Glossary Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol that computers use to communicate over the Internet. TCP determines how a computer breaks up data into small units, called packets, to be sent to another computer, and how the receiving computer reassembles the packets into a single file. IP determines how the packets are routed across the Internet. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard that uses Internet and Web protocols to enable devices such as PCs, peripherals, and wireless devices to be plugged into a network and automatically detect each other. With UPnP enabled, when you add the gateway into the network, the device configures itself for Internet access. USB Universal Serial Bus VPN A peripheral bus standard that enables external devices to attach to a PC while the PC is powered on. The flat-
shaped USB connector plugs into a similarly shaped socket on the PC. Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a type of computer network that functions like a private network but uses public phone lines to carry data. VPNs use special communication protocols and security techniques to maintain privacy at a lower cost than is possible with dedicated phone lines. The VPN software encrypts data before sending it across the Internet to the other local network. This keeps the data and the two local networks secure, but lets them form a virtual network that includes computers in two separate locations. 81 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 82 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Chapter 7 Specifications The following technical specifications are for reference purposes only. 82 user_guide_rg1210.book Page 83 Monday, April 22, 2002 2:20 PM Technical specifications Chapter 7 Specifications Actual product performance and compliance with local telecommunications regulations may vary from country to country.
