CHAPTER 3:
BEFORE YOU START
AG2000 offers a platform-independent, HTML-based GUI (graphical user interface) 
to simplify the setup and configuration of your AG2000 by using web browser. All 
the PCs on your LAN network need to be set up properly in order to communicate 
with the AG2000. Please carefully read and follow the instructions below before you 
start configuring your AG2000: 
1.
Set up the wireless device:
If you have a wireless device installed on your computer and want to use it to connect 
to the AG2000, set its channel number to 6 and SSID to arescom.
NOTE: The SSID is case-sensitive and set the operating mode to Infrastructure.
2.   Set up an IP address for your PC:
Since the AG2000 can automatically assign IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP 
address to your network PCs through its DHCP server, we highly recommend that 
you configure your TCP/IP Properties to “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Select 
the proper network adapter, either an Ethernet or a Wireless Adapter, that you are 
using to connect to the AG2000.
NOTE: You CANNOT connect a PC to the AG2000 through an Ethernet networking card 
and a wireless device installed in your PC at the same time
Follow the instructions below to complete the setup:

Step 5. Click the Gateway tab and remove all previously installed gateways and click OK.
