SpeedStream Gateway Setup

 

. 

If your Windows operating system supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and UPnP is enabled, an 
icon for the Gateway appears in the system tray near the time display, notifying you that a new network 
device has been found and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to the newly discovered device.  

Note: You must be logged in as administrator or be a user with administrative rights for Windows 2000 
and XP to be able to install the drivers for the Gateway. 

1. 

Unless you intend to change the IP address of the Gateway, you can accept the desktop shortcut. 
Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can find UPnP devices in My Network Places 
(previously called Network Neighborhood). 

2. 

Double-click the icon for the Gateway (either on the desktop or in My Network Places) to access 
the Gateway’s configuration program.
