Congratulations on your purchase of a DIRECWAY
® 
DW6000! After your unit 
has been professionally installed, you will be able to click on a browser and surf 
the Internet. You will also be able to operate a local area network (LAN) after 
you configure your computers with network interface cards (NICs), connect 
them with Ethernet cable or via a wireless base station, and configure your 
computers’ operating system network properties.
The DW6000 DIRECWAY System Control Center provides system 
information, such as your Site ID,  DW6000 IP (Internet Protocol) address, and 
subnet mask, that is necessary for configuring your network. It also provides 
help files. The System Control Center is explained in Chapter 2 – The 
DIRECWAY System Control Center,
 on page 7.
Note:
The instructions in this manual also apply to the enterprise-class DW6002. 
The DW6002 includes all DW6000 functionality in addition to being equipped with 
an internal telephone modem. The model number is on the back of the unit.
