2.7.4 Obtaining ISP Configuration Information (Macintosh)

If you were using your computer directly attached to your modem to access the

internet, you may need to collect configuration information from your compu-

ter so that you can use this information when you configure the FSG-3. If your

ISP provided this information to you on paper or provides the configuration data

dynamically, you do not require this information. To get the information you

need to configure the gateway for Internet access:

1. From the Apple menu, select Control Panels, then TCP/IP. The TCP/IP Control

Panel opens, which displays a list of configuration settings. If the "Configure"

setting is "Using DHCP Server", your account uses a dynamically-assigned IP

address and you do not need any more information. Please close the dialog

and continue installing your computer and FSG-3.

2. If an IP address and subnet mask are shown, write down the information.

3. If an IP address appears under Router address, write down the address. This

is the ISP’s gateway address.

4. If any Name Server addresses are shown, write down the addresses. These are

your ISP’s DNS addresses.

5. If any information appears in the Search domains information box, write it

down.

6. Change the "Configure" setting to "Using DHCP Server".

7. Close the TCP/IP Control Panel.

2.8 Restarting the Network

Once you’ve setup your computers to work with the FSG-3, you must reset the

network for the devices to be able to communicate correctly.

1. Turn off the FSG-3 if it was on, and then turn it on again and wait for the FSG-

3 to restart (This can take up to 30 seconds).

2. Restart any computer connected to the FSG-3.

2.9 Ready for Configuration

After configuring all of your PCs for TCP/IP networking and connecting them to

the local network of your FSG-3, you are ready to access and configure the FSG-3.
