Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway Installation
Thank you for purchasing the U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway. 
For current product support and contact information, go to the following Web site:
http://www.usr.com/support
NOTE: It is important that you have your serial number written down for future 
reference. If you ever need to call our technical support department, you will 
need this number to receive assistance. You can find your 12-character serial 
number on a bar code sticker located on the bottom of the gateway and also on 
the box. You will also need your model number. It is noted below.
Write your serial number in the space provided below. 
What You Need Before You Begin
You will need active ADSL and Internet service from your local telephone company or 
Internet Service Provider (ISP) before you try to go on the Internet. You may also need the 
following from your ISP:
• VPI/VCI values
• ADSL standard (modulation)
• Encapsulation mode
• Authentication (PAP or CHAP) for PPP connections
• Your user name and password, if they were assigned by your ISP.
Gateway Installation
Step 1. Connect Microfilter (if included or required by your ISP)
A microfilter removes interference between voice and DSL signals. Your ISP will determine 
if a microfilter is necessary. If a microfilter was not included with the gateway, you may 
want to ask your ISP if you need to purchase one or more.
To install a microfilter, plug each device (phone, fax machine, or other telephony device) 
into the microfilter, and then plug the microfilter into the telephone wall jack. Do not install

							4a microfilter on the cable that connects your ADSL gateway to the telephone jack unless 
your microfilter has a connection for both the gateway and the phone.
Step 2. Connect the Antenna and Cables
To configure the gateway, you will initially use the supplied yellow Ethernet cable to 
connect it to the computer. You can set up a wireless connection later in the installation 
process, once the gateway is communicating with the Internet.
This diagram shows you how the devices will be connected when the installation is 
complete:
To make the needed connections, follow these steps:
A. Attach the antenna to the back of the gateway. 
B. Connect one end of the grey telephone cable to the telephone port on the back of 
your gateway (labelled ADSL). Connect the other end to the telephone wall jack. 
C. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable. Although you can connect up to four systems this 
way, you should connect additional devices only after the initial setup is complete. 
Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the ports on the back of the gateway 
(labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4). Connect the other end to the Ethernet port on your 
computer’s network interface card.  
						

							5 D. Plug the AC power adapter into the 9VDC jack on the back of your gateway. Then 
plug the AC power adapter into a standard wall outlet. If the   LED on the front 
panel is not lighted, press the Power switch on the back of the gateway.    
The gateway starts up after you turn on the power. This may take one to two 
minutes.
E. See if the   and any of the   indicator LEDs are lighted. If they are not, see the 
troubleshooting section later in this guide.
Step 3. Install EasyConfigurator
1. Insert the U.S. Robotics installation CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. 
The installation should start automatically. This process may take a few moments.
If the installation does not start automatically, you can start it manually. 
Windows users: Click Start and then Run, then type D:\setup.exe in the dialogue box 
and click OK. (If your CD drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of D.) 
Macintosh users: Open the CD-ROM and double click on either MacOS X Install or 
MacOS Classic Install (depending on which operating system your computer uses).
Linux users: Open the CD-ROM, browse to \platforms\linux, and double-click on 
install.bin.
2. Select your preferred language and click OK.
3. If you are using Windows, the installer runs a qualification test to verify that your 
system meets the minimum requirements for installation. When done, a Results 
screen displays green flags next to system components that meet requirements and 
red flags next to any that do not. If your system passes the qualification, click Next. If 
any of your system components do not meet the requirements, click View Report to 
identify them.
Setup now installs the EasyConfigurator.

Step 4. Configure the Gateway with EasyConfigurator
1. This is the EasyConfigurator login window:
If EasyConfigurator does not start up automatically, you can open it yourself. 
Windows users: Click Start and select Programs and U.S. Robotics 
EasyConfigurator. 
Macintosh and Linux users: Double-click on the EasyConfigurator icon on the 
desktop.
The user name and password are already entered for you. Click Log In and wait a few 
moments.  
						

							7 2. This window appears after you log in:
Select your country and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) from the drop-down 
lists. If your country or ISP does not appear in the list, select Other and manually 
enter the settings provided by your ISP.
You may need to enter your ISP-supplied user name and password after making your 
selections. Click Apply to continue. 
3. EasyConfigurator now configures your gateway based on your ISP selection or 
manually-entered settings.  
						

							8At this point, the system attempts to access the Internet. This may take a few 
minutes, until the following status page appears. 
If the status is CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, you have successfully configured 
your Internet connection. If it does not say CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, go to the 
Troubleshooting section of this installation guide. 
Step 5. Set Up the Wireless Configuration 
In wireless communications, devices communicate with each other via radio waves rather 
than cables. The gateway can communicate wirelessly with any device that has a wireless 
network adapter that meets wireless networking standards.
To set up wireless communications, click Status at the top of the screen (if it is not already 
open). Then click Configure Wireless. This opens your Web browser to a page for setting
