Connecting the FWG114P to the Internet
This chapter describes how to set up the router on your local area network (LAN) and connect to 
the Internet. You will find out how to configure your ProSafe Wireless 802.11g  Firewall/Print 
Server Model FWG114P for Internet access using the Setup Wizard, or how to manually configure 
your Internet connection.
What You Will Need Before You Begin
You need to prepare these three things before you begin:
1.
An active Internet service, such as those provided by a cable or DSL broadband account.
2.
Locate the Internet Service Provider (ISP) configuration information for your broadband 
account. 
3.
Connect the router to a broadband modem and a computer as explained below.
Cabling and Computer Hardware Requirements
To use the FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server on your network, each computer must have 
an installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and an Ethernet cable. If the computer will 
connect to your network at 100 Mbps, you must use a Category 5 (CAT5) cable, such as the one 
provided with your router.
Computer Network Configuration Requirements
The FWG114P includes a built-in Web Configuration Manager. To access the configuration menus 
on the FWG114P, you must use a Java-enabled Web browser program that supports HTTP 
uploads, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. Use Internet Explorer or 
Netscape Navigator versions 4.0 or above. Free browser programs are readily available for 
Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX/Linux.
