1.1 Equipement

Verify that the following items came with your DSL kit:

1.2 Line ﬁlters installation

Devices such as fax machines, caller ID boxes, or phones or phones that share the same

phone line as your DSL account require a line ﬁlter. The line ﬁlter prevents noise from

disrupting the DSL signal on the phone line. Filters can be in the form of a stand-alone

line ﬁlter or a wall-mount ﬁlter.

* It is also possible to obtain wall-mount ﬁlter. To order this ﬁlter, please call NorthernTel

Customer Service Department at 1 800 360-8555.

3. Power supply

4. RJ-45 Ethernet cable

5. RJ-11 DSL cable

6. Line ﬁlters (2)

Stand-alone Line Filter

For each device that shares the DSL

phone line:

1. Unplug the device’s cord from

the phone jack.

2. Plug the ﬁlter into the

phone jack.

3. Plug the phone cord (or other

device cord) into the ﬁlter.

1.3 Connecting wireless modem router

* Use Crossover cable when connecting to a hub or switch without an uplink port.

There is no software installation required when using an Ethernet connection.

Wall-mount Filter

For a wall-mounted phone, use a

wall-mount ﬁlter:

1. Remove the phone from the wall.

2. Connect the wall-mount ﬁlter to

the all plate.

3. Reconnect the phone.

Connection steps :

1. Connect the Ethernet cable

(RJ-45) to the Ethernet port

on the wireless modem router

(yellow port).

2. Connect the other end to the

Ethernet port on your computer.

3. Plug the DSL cable (RJ-11) into

the DSL port on the wireless

modem router (gray port).

4. Plug the other end of the

DSL cable (RJ-11) into the phone

jack.

5. Plug the power adapter into the

power outlet and the wireless

modem router (black port).

6. Ensure that the wireless modem

router is powered on.

The power switch is on the right

1.4 Conﬁguring TCP/IP protocol

The TCP/IP protocol must be installed, as this step enables you to be identiﬁed on the Internet.

Without this information, you will not be able to access the Internet. It is therefore important

that you make sure that the data you enter is accurate. Please refer to the

“Important Information” that you wrote down on the last page of this document.

Before conﬁguring the IP address, make sure that the physical components are working

properly. The network interface card needs to have been conﬁgured and the modem installed in

order to do this.

Windows 2000 and XP:

1. Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel.

2. Double-click on

“Network and Dial-up

Connections”.

3. Right-click on your

“Local Area Connection”.

Then click on Properties.

1.5 Conﬁguring gateway

Now that your wireless modem router is connected and that your High speed Internet

is conﬁgured, you only have to conﬁgured your gateway that will allow you to use

several computers at the same time on the same High speed Internet account.

If your PC has not been connected to a broadband modem or other network device,

perform the PC conﬁguration procedure below. Remember to restart each PC

when ﬁnished.

1. Start your Web Browser.

2. In the address bar, type http://192.168.254.254, then press Enter. The Gateway Setup

Wizard appears to guide you through the setup process. Please type your user name that

Customer Service Department gave you.

3. When you have completed the Gateway Setup Wizard, you can conﬁgure additional op-

tions on the Gateway.

1.6 Troubleshooting

Here is a table that will help you to understand the indicator on your gateway.

1.7 Security

In order to protect your computer systems from unauthorized access, NorthernTel strongly

recommends enabling WPA-TKIP encryption with a password on your wireless network, no

more than 30 characters in length. This security mode is compatible with Windows XP or

subsequent operation systems. If you do not plan on using the wireless network, then we recom-

mend disabling the wireless adapter on the router. Enabling the wireless adapter without

wireless security features turned on could potentially expose your systems to data

theft, viruses, spyware and other unauthorized access.

Conﬁgure the wireless network using this option. The wireless settings on the Gateway must

match those of any wireless clients on your network.

To conﬁgure the wireless network:

1. Click the Conﬁgure the Local SpeedStream Gateway Wireless Network hyperlink.

This displays the “Wireless Summary” window.

2. Click Begin Wireless Wizard. This displays the “Wireless Setup Conﬁguration” window.

Hi-Speed Internet User Guide12

3. Select Enable to enable the Wireless Interface.

4. Type your wireless network ID in SSID (Example: northerntel).

5. Optionally, select a channel ID from the Channel drop-down menu and click on

Enable Auto Scan on Power ON. This step is optional but is strongly recommended if

you experience interference or if you live in a heavily populated area (example: downtown

or near an ofﬁce building). This way, if there is interference, your modem will choose

another channel.

6. Click Next.

7. Select WPA-TKIP from the Security Mode drop-down menu, as recommend by

NorthernTel.

Wireless Setup WPA-TKIP Option

To use the WPA-TKIP option:

1. From the “Wireless Security Conﬁguration” window, select WPA-TKIP from the

Security Mode drop-down menu. If you check Enable SSID Broadcast, the detection of

your internet signal will be easier for non-authorized users, therefore it is recommended

you not activate the broadcast.

2. Click Next. This displays the “Wireless WPA Conﬁguration” window.

3. Create a secret password with no more than 30 characters. This password needs to be

difﬁcult to ﬁnd for an external user, but easy to type for you.

4. Keep Group Key Renewal at 3600 seconds.

5. Click Next. This displays the “Wireless Filter Conﬁguration” window.

13Wireless Modem Router

Wireless Filter and Options Conﬁguration

Control access to the Gateway of wireless devices based on the MAC address of the device

using the “Wireless Filter Conﬁguration” window. A MAC (Media Access Control) address

refers to a hardware address that uniquely identiﬁes each device of a network. Refer to the

user documentation for each device you wish to deny or allow access for a particular MAC

address.

To conﬁgure the wireless ﬁlter:

1. Select one of the following Wireless Filter options:

 • Enable Enable wireless ﬁltering.

 • Disable Disable wireless ﬁltering. If wireless ﬁltering is disabled, all devices have

access to the Gateway.

2. If wireless ﬁltering is enabled, select one of the following Filter Mode options:

 •Allow Permits access to all the MAC addresses entered in the table.

 •Deny Restricts Gateway access to all the MAC addresses entered in the table.

3. Type the MAC address in the MAC Address column next to each device you either want

to permit or restrict access.

Hi-Speed Internet User Guide14

4. Click Next. This displays the “Wireless Options Conﬁguration” window.

5. Optionally, conﬁgure the following items:

 • Data Transfer Rate If a particular wireless client is unable to auto-negotiate a

connection to the Gateway, the data transfer rate may be set to a speciﬁc data rate

such as 11 Mbps for 802.11b wireless clients.

 • RTS/CTS Threshold A group of wireless clients may experience difﬁculty communi-

cating with the Gateway without interrupting each other’s communications. If this

occurs, the RTS/CTS threshold may be set to a higher number to allow them each a

longer period in which to communicate with the Gateway before the priority is

switched to another wireless client wishing to transmit data.

 • Fragmentation Threshold The fragmentation threshold may be lowered to

improve reliability in an excessively “noisy” wireless environment if changing channels

does not provide signiﬁcant enough improvement.

If you wish to reset the options in the “Wireless Options Conﬁguration” window, click

Restore Default Values. The system responds by restoring all the advanced features on

this page.

6. Click Next. This displays the “Wireless Wizard” ﬁnish window.

7. Click Finish to save the settings.

8. Click Reboot for your wireless conﬁguration to take effect.
