2.To connect additional computers that will use the Gateway’s address

sharing feature repeat Step 1, on page 3.

Determine whether your Internet Service Provider (ISP) has supplied you with a Config-
uration Worksheet identifying the settings you are to use when configuring your Gate-
way.

If you did not receive a Configuration Worksheet, your Gateway has already been
configured, and no action on your part is needed. You can skip this section and
launch a Web browser to access the Internet.

If you received a Configuration Worksheet, refer to it when configuring your Gateway.

To configure your Gateway:

1.Run a Web browser application, such as Netscape Navigator or

Microsoft Internet Explorer, from the computer on the same network as
the Gateway.

2.Open a session to your Gateway.

Enter

http://192.168.1.254

in the Location text box. (If your Configuration

Worksheet tells you to use an IP address other than 192.168.1.254 to log in,
enter

http://< ip-address>

.) The browser displays the Welcome page.

For security, you must enter your own Administrative password for accessing
the Cayman Gateway. The Administrative username is

Admin.

You choose

the password yourself. This username and password are separate from the
username and password you will use to access the Internet. Write them down
in a safe location, or on the bottom of the Cayman Gateway. You will be chal-
lenged for this Admin username and password any time that you attempt to
access the Cayman Gateway’s configuration pages. Click

Submit

.

The browser then displays the Quickstart web page.

3.Transfer the contents of each field on the Configuration Worksheet to

the corresponding field in the Quickstart web page.

4.Click

Submit

.

This turns on the Alert (“!”) button in the top right corner of the page.

5.Click the

Alert

button to go to the page to save your changes.

6.Click on the

Save and Restart

link.

Congratulations! Once a connection is established, your installation is complete.
You can now go to any Web site by typing the address “URL” in your browser’s
location box and pressing the Enter key on your PC’s keyboard or by selecting
from your bookmarks with the addresses of your favorite Web sites.

If you have any questions or encounter problems with your Cayman Gateway, contact
your service provider’s technical support helpdesk.
