====== Initial Installation ======
This topic describes the installation procedure for the most common installation scenario where the Internet Gate is used as a router on a local network to share a single connection to the Internet.

For other installation scenarios please refer to the **installation information provided with your unit**.

===== Hardware Installation =====
<if adsl>
Connect the [[:adsl:start#splitter|splitter]] supplied with your Internet Gate to the main telephone connector in your home. Connect Internet Gate's **LINE** port with the splitter.\\
<else>
Connect the ET0 port of your Internet Gate to your Ethernet Internet connection - either a wall mounted Ethernet WAN port, or the Ethernet port of a modem you use for Internet connection.
</if>

Connect a PC to Internet Gate's ET1 port. The PC shall use DHCP to acquire its IP address and other settings (as it is default in Windows).

Connect the power supply to Internet Gate and turn power on using the button on the [[:product overview:back panel]]. Internet Gate should now display first **RST**, then **CFG  RST**, then after a couple of seconds **HELLO** in its display.

===== Connect to the web server =====
Start a web browser on the PC attached to ET1 and enter **%%http://192.168.0.1%%** into the browser's address field.

On the appearing [[web GUI:Login page]] click "Log in" and enter username **admin** password **admin**.

:?: If you cannot browse to the Login page check [[troubleshooting:connect to GUI]] troubleshooting.

===== Set up Internet Access =====
If your Internet Provider doesn't require any special log in you should now be able to access the Internet. Try surf to an external web site (for instance http://www.google.com). If you manage to reach the Internet continue to "Configure unit" below.

:?: Some Internet Providers require their users to log in before they can access the Internet. If you have received a **username** and a **password** from your Internet Provider then you need to enter those on the [[web GUI:Network page]] (select "Access type: Auto" to see the User and Password fields).

Select Access type:Auto and click **Search** to allow Internet Gate to try to connect to your Internet Provider. If it fails then you need to enter access type information manually, consult your Internet Provider.

:?: If you cannot reach the Internet check [[troubleshooting:Internet access problems]] troubleshooting.

===== Configure unit =====
Using the webpages reached from the [[web GUI:main menu]] you can now configure your unit.

Configure LAN IP subnet used on the [[web GUI:Network page]].

<if air>
Configure Wireless Access Point on the [[web GUI:Wireless page]].
</if>

Change user **admin**'s password on the [[web GUI:Administration page]].

Save your changes [[settings and administration:apply and save permanently|permanently]].

===== Connect your LAN =====
If you have more PC-s you can connect them to Ethernet ports ET2 and ET3 of the unit. Use Ethernet switches to connect more equipment.

Port ET4 is on a different subnet than ports ET1/2/3 thus accessing equipment connected to ET4 may be more difficult. ET4 is on the other hand suitable for servers on a [[:network:DMZ]].

<if fxs>
Connect any analogue phones to [[:phone ports:start|ports PH1 and PH2]] to convert them to IP telephones.
