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.
