Before you begin
2.5.1 Verifying TCP/IP Properties (Macintosh)
After your Macintosh is configured and has rebooted, you can check the TCP/IP
configuration by returning to the TCP/IP Control Panel. From the Apple menu,
select Control Panels, then TCP/IP.
The panel is updated to show your settings, which should match the values
below if you are using the default TCP/IP settings that FREECOM recommends:
• The IP Address is between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254
• The Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
• The Router address is 192.168.1.1
If you see different values, restart your Macintosh or you may need to switch the
"Configure" setting to a different option, then back again to "Using DHCP
Server".
2.6 Getting on the internet
If you do not have an internet account yet, but you require access to the internet,
you will need to contract with an Internet service provider (ISP) for a single-user
Internet access account. You can use both DSL or cable connections. You will
require a separate modem for your type of Internet access. These modems are
usually gotten with your internet connection from your ISP. You can then
connect the WAN port of the FSG-3 directly to the modem. To install the FSG-3
you will need some information from your ISP. Please make sure you have this
information on hand. How to setup your internet account in your FSG-3 is
described in more detail further in this manual.
