Overview 6 Features The main features of the KX-HGW200 are described as follows: Networking For Home Network The KX-HGW200 has three types of network interface: HomePNA 2.0, 10 Base-T Ethernet and wireless. It supports AppleTalk ®network system (EtherTalk®interface network), TCP/IP and IPXTM(Novell®) protocols simultaneously. ³HomePNA 2.0 connection (using existing telephone lines): Communication speed is a max.10 Mbps. The HomePNA can transmit and receive data at rates up to 10 Mbps over any standard home telephone wiring. It links two or more computers by using your existing phone wiring. While the HomePNA passes information over your home’s phone wiring, you can use your telephone without disrupting regular phone service. You will need one HomePNA card and one modular phone line with standard RJ-11 male phone plugs attached at each end for each computer that you want to connect to the home network. ³10 Base-T Ethernet connection (using category 5 straight cable): Communication speed is a max.10 Mbps. In order to network more than one computer using Ethernet, an optional Ethernet hub is required. ³Wireless connection (using optional Panasonic wireless cards KX-HGC200): Communication speed is a max.11 Mbps.

Installation 7For assistance, please call: 1-800-272-7033 Ò Internet Sharing The KX-HGW200 has an interface to the Internet (TO MODEM port). This interface enables you to connect to the Internet via a cable/xDSL modem with category 5 straight cable. All users can have an Internet access simultaneously via a single IP (Internet Protocol) address. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server and Client DHCP client function ³If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has a DHCP server function, the KX-HGW200 receives its configuration information automatically from the ISP. DHCP server function ³The KX-HGW200 can automatically assign a local IP address to each computer in the home network. Security IP Masquerade Function ³The KX-HGW200 uses IP masquerade as the default function. This function translates the local IP address of a computer in the home network into one global IP address. The IP masquerade function can act as a firewall for your home network, because the local IP address can never be known to anyone outside of the home network. Easy to Administer Downloadable Firmware ³You can download the latest version of the KX-HGW200’s firmware from the Panasonic support web site. See p. 39 for more detailed information. Setup via Web Browser ³The KX-HGW200 can be set up from a Microsoft ®Windows®operating system or Macintosh®computer using a web browser. Password Protection ³To access the KX-HGW200 web screen, you have to create and enter a password. The password will prevent accidental or incorrect changes to the KX-HGW200 setup settings. See p. 27 and 38 for more detailed information. PQQX12817ZA \1-P29 01.3.8 3:17 PM y[W 7
