5-40 Chapter 5: Software support
• If you use a network cable connected to a home router (which is then
connected to your DSL/cable modem), enable every LAN port(s). Express Gate
SSD will automatically use whichever port is connected.
• The number of the LAN ports may differ from motherboards.
• If you plug the network cable into a different port while Express Gate SSD is
running (e.g. move the cable from LAN1 to LAN2), you may need to restart
Express Gate SSD in order for it to detect the change.
• The most common scenario is for your computer to automatically obtain
network settings (i.e. DHCP). If this is the case, you don’t need to click
Setup
for any LAN port. If this is not the case, click
Setup
settings manually.
• If you have wireless network, click
Setup
for the WiFi option. In the
WiFi
tab of
the
Advanced Network Settings
box, enter the name of your wireless access
point in the
SSID
select the corresponding security algorithm from the drop-down list (e.g.
WEPAUTO) in the
Encryption Type
Click
OK
to enable WiFi and establish the wireless connection.
• If you use a network cable connected directly to your DSL/cable modem (no
router in between), click
Setup
for xDSL/cable dial-up. This method is also
referred to as PPPoE. Choose whether the DSL/cable modem is connected
to your computer’s LAN port. Then enter the username and password for your
dial-up account.
Click
OK
to enable xDSL/cable dial-up and establish the PPPoE connection.
When PPPoE is enabled, the port it uses will automatically be unchecked and
grayed out.
3. Make the proper network congurations.
Each network interface is enabled immediately when you check the box next
to it.
