1 Introduction The 2Wire gateway allows you to create a network with your computers and peripheral devices. Following are just a few of the benefits derived from using the 2Wire gateway to network your home or office. High performance integrated modem. 2Wire’s technology improves DSL 1 performance, especially for homes further away from the local exchange. It also minimizes common interference found when other devices (such as dimmer switches or fluorescent lighting) are in contact with the DSL line. Super-fast router. The 2Wire gateway’s router provides the fastest data transfer speeds available between your network and the Internet. The high-performance router distributes data seamlessly to all of the computers on your network, without a dramatic loss of performance or speed. Professional-grade firewall. The 2Wire gateway firewall includes both standard NAT/PAT security and Stateful Packet Inspection to defend against Denial of Service Internet attacks. Flexible networking. The 2Wire gateway includes a variety of home networking technologies in one box: Ethernet, direct USB, and HyperG wireless 2. Use any or all of the following technologies to create a network with your computers and peripherals. Networking Technology Overview Ethernet. Ethernet is a local area network (LAN) technology that transmits information between computers at speeds of 10 or 100 Mbps. 2Wire gateways have either 1 or 4 Ethernet por ts for directly connecting computers or devices. If your home or office is wired for Ethernet, you can use the Ethernet interface(s) on the gateway to create a broadband network. USB. The 2Wire gateway’s USB 1.1 por t allows you to directly connect a computer or other network-ready device. Wireless. The 2Wire gateway includes an integrated wireless access point, which allows users to roam wirelessly throughout the home or office. 2Wire’s high-powered wireless technology virtually eliminates wireless “coldspots” in the home. The 2Wire gateway’s high power 400mW transmitter ensures that users benefit from increased wireless bandwidth throughout the coverage area. In addition, the 2Wire gateway employs a special triple antenna design. The third antenna is used only for transmitting packets, thus mitigating the power loss associated with switching the antenna use back and for th between transmit and receive. This results in greater access point sensitivity, as antenna placement can be better optimized with a dedicated set of receive-only antennas. 1. The 200 series gateways connect via Ethernet. 2. Some interfaces are not available on specific models.
2 System Tab This chapter describes the 2Wire gateway System features. Viewing Your System Summary The System Summar y page provides general information and links to your system’s most commonly used features. To access the System Summary page: Open a Web browser and access the gateway user interface by entering http://gateway.2wire.net. Click the System tab to open the System Summary page. Figure 1. System Summar y Page Note: 2Wire recommends that you use Internet Explorer 5.5 (or higher) or Netscape 6 (or higher).
System Tab 3 Network at a Glance Panel The Network at a Glance panel provides a summary of the System, Broadband Link, and Home Network states of your gateway. Figure 2. Network at a Glance Panel System Area of the Network at a Glance Panel The System area of the Network at a Glance panel displays your 2Wire gateway model name, the version of gateway software that you are using, and the status of your gateway password. The diamond symbol in this area indicates the gateway’s POWER light status and corresponds to the Power light on the front of your gateway. The following table shows a list of possible POWER light states and their associated meanings: Power Light Condition Off Power is not being supplied to the system. The power supply is not plugged in correctly, or the power adapter has malfunctioned. Blinking Green The system is performing a self test. Solid Green Power is on. Blinking Orange The gateway is undergoing a software upgrade. Solid Red System error. Contact Technical Support. System Area Home Network Area Broadband Link Area
System Tab 4 If you have not set a system password, the Set system password link displays. If you have set a password, the Change system password link displays. You must enter the system password whenever you change system settings. Click the Privacy policy link to review the 2Wire privacy policy. Broadband Link Area of the Network at a Glance Panel The Broadband Link area of the Network at a Glance panel displays the overall status of your gateway’s physical connectivity. The diamond symbol in this area indicates the overall status of the broadband link and corresponds to the Internet light on the front of your gateway. The following table shows a list of possible BROADBAND LINK light states and their associated meanings: Connection Speed displays the broadband speed for which DSL is configured by your ISP. Both the Incoming (or Downstream — from your service provider to your system) and Outgoing (or Upstream — from your system to your service provider) connection rates are shown. The actual throughput of your Internet connection rate (such as downloading a file from a Web site) will be somewhat less, because of the overhead required to send information over the Internet. Accessing the Broadband Link Summar y Page The Broadband Link Summar y page provides general information about the current status of your broadband link connection and your system configuration. To access the Broadband Link Summar y page, click the Broadband Link icon or the View summar y link. Launching the 2Wire Bandwidth Meter The Bandwidth Meter measures the maximum data throughput obtained from 2Wire’s Web site to your system. Because it tests the speed over the Internet, your results may var y, depending on Internet conditions. To launch the 2Wire Bandwidth Meter, click the Test connection speed link. Home Network Area of the Network at a Glance Panel The Home Network area of the Network at a Glance panel displays your system’s LOCAL NETWORK light status and a list of the devices currently connected to your local network. Note: For additional information, refer to “Setting a System Password” on page 7. Broadband Link Light Condition Off The gateway has been unable to detect a DSL signal. DSL signal detected; the gateway is attempting to train. Solid Green The gateway is fully connected to your broadband ser vice(s).
System Tab 5 The diamond symbol in this area indicates the overall status of the network and corresponds to the Ethernet, USB, or Wireless light on the front of your gateway. Accessing the Home Network Summar y Page The Home Network Summary page displays information about the devices installed on your network. To access the Home Network Summary page, click the View the home network link. Enabling Enhanced Ser vices 2Wire provides a suite of enhanced ser vices: Web Remote Access, Firewall Monitor, and Parental Controls. If your service provider offers these enhanced ser vices, links to set them up are available on the gateway Home page. Following is a brief description of these services. Web Remote Access The Web Remote Access enhanced ser vice allows you to access your home computer files from remote locations using any standard Web browser. Web Remote Access authenticates and encr ypts access between the Web browser and the 2Wire gateway, enabling you to securely access and download important files or manage other enhanced services such as Parental Controls or Firewall Monitor. You can optionally define a unique Web Domain Name during setup (for example, http:// myname.accessmyhome.net), making it easy for users that are allowed to access the home network to manage the gateway when away from the home. For additional information, please refer to the Web Remote Access User Guide. Firewall Monitor The 2Wire Firewall Monitor enhanced ser vice extends the professional-grade firewall capabilities of your 2Wire gateway by continuously assessing threats to your home network. Firewall Monitor allows you to: Automatically download updates to your firewall software to protect against new threats. Receive on-screen notification to alert you of network attacks. Review details about attacks blocked and the source of the attacks. For additional information, please refer to the Firewall Monitor User Guide. Ethernet, USB, or Wireless Light Condition Off The gateway is powered off or booting up. Solid Green Device(s) connected via Ethernet, USB, or Wireless.
