Freecom FSG-3 Storage Gateway

5.4.1 The FSG-3 WAN port connected to a router

To first set up the FSG-3, your computer will have to be connected to a LAN port

of the FSG-3. This can be changed in a later stage in the services / SMB section.

Connecting the hardware

1. Connect a RJ45 cable to a LAN port of your router.

2. Connect the other side of the cable with the WAN port of the Freecom

Storage Gateway.

3. After setting up the FSG-3, network PCs can be connected to the FSG-3 and

your router.

Setting up the FSG-3

1. Login to the configuration menu of your FSG-3

2. Go to Connections -> LAN and select an IP address for the FSG-3.

To avoid IP address conflicts in your network, make sure that the

LAN IP address of your FSG-3 and the LAN IP address of your router

are different.

3. Go to Connections -> WAN and select "Use fixed IP address". This will allow

you to easily set up access to your FSG-3 from other locations such as the

internet. Use the following settings:

IP address: Enter an IP address which is in the address range of your router,

e.g. if your router IP address 192.168.2.1, enter 192.168.2.2 for your FSG-3.

This IP address can be used to access the FSG-3 from anywhere in

your local network.

Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask of your router, e.g. 255.255.255.0.

Default Gateway: IP address of your router, e.g. 192.168.2.1.
