2.3.1 Gathering data
You can gather the main data for configuration with the GUI quickly, because you do not
need any information that requires in-depth knowledge of networks.
In addition, you can have the device assign a valid IP configuration to all PCs, so time-
consuming configuration of your LAN is not necessary. If necessary, you can use the
sample values.
Before you start the configuration, you should gather the data for the following purposes:
• Basic configuration (obligatory if your device is in the ex works state)
• Internet access (optional)
• Wireless LAN (optional).
The following tables show examples of possible values for the necessary data. You can
enter your personal data in the "Your values" column, so that you can refer to these values
later when needed.
If you configure a new network, you can use the given example values for IP addresses
and netmasks. In cases of doubt, ask your system administrator.
Basic configuration
For a basic configuration of your gateway, you need information that relates to your net-
work environment:
Basic information
Access data Example value Your values
IP address of your gateway
Netmask of your gateway
Internet access over ADSL
If you want to set up Internet access, you need an Internet Service Provider (ISP). You also
receive your personal access data from your ISP. The terms used for the required access
data may vary from provider to provider, However, the type of information you need for dial-
in in is basically the same.
The following table lists the access data that your device also needs for a DSL connection
to the Internet.
