Use the procedures below to use the web-based GUI for the Beacon 2.
The Beacon 2 is used as an Ethernet gateway to connect devices in the home to the Internet. The
GUI provides a variety of features for the home network including routing and firewall capability. By
using the GUI, users can configure the right network connectivity for all equipment in their home,
including personal computers, set-top boxes, mobile phones, and other consumer electronics
devices, to the Internet.
