Chapter 1: Introduction

The Personal Mobile Gateway, SMCWTVG, offers a user-friendly web-based

management interface for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly

attached to the unit can access the management interface using a web browser,

such as Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or above), Firefox (version 1.5 or above), or

Opera (version 8.51 or above).

The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface using

the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial changes by connecting a

PC directly to the Personal Mobile Gateway’s LAN port.

Operating Modes

The Personal Mobile Gateway operates in one of three possible modes:

• Gateway

• Wireless Client

• Access Point

The Personal Mobile Gateway’s Setup Wizard and Advanced Configuration menus

display only settings that are valid for the current operating mode. Before making

any configuration settings, be sure the unit is operating in the mode you want to use.

In its default Automatic Configuration setting, the unit starts in Gateway mode if the

WAN port has a valid connection. If the WAN port has no connection, it starts in

Wireless Client mode.

To set the unit in Access Point mode requires manual configuration. After logging in,

you must first use the Advanced Setup menu to set the mode. See “Manually Setting

the Operating Mode” on page 1-3.

Accessing the Web Management Interface

The Personal Mobile Gateway has a default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC uses DHCP or has an IP address on the same

subnet (that is, the PC and Personal Mobile Gateway addresses both start

192.168.2.x), you can connect immediately to the web interface. Otherwise, you

must first change your PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet as the Personal

Mobile Gateway.

Introduction

Chapter 2: Using the Setup Wizard

The Personal Mobile Gateway can automatically configure its operating mode for

use as a gateway or wireless client. However, it still requires some manual

configuration for other modes, its WAN port connection, wireless settings, and VoIP

functions. The Setup Wizard takes you through the basic configuration steps for the

current operating mode.

Note: The Setup Wizard steps depend on the current operating mode. You should first

make sure the Personal Mobile Gateway starts in the mode that you want to use.

Launching the Setup Wizard – To perform basic configuration, click Start with

Setup Wizard on the main menu.

Figure 2-4. Starting the Setup Wizard

The following sections detail the necessary steps in configuring the Personal Mobile

Gateway in each of its operating modes.

Gateway Mode

When configuring the unit to operate as a gateway, you will need to proceed through

the following four steps:

1. Settings – The Settings page takes you through the wireless SSID (Service Set

Identifier) configuration.

Using the Setup Wizard

2-2

2

Figure 2-5. Gateway Settings

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) – The ESSID is a name that uniquely

identifies the wireless network provided by the Personal Mobile Gateway.

Clients that want to connect to the wireless network must set their SSID to the

same as that of the Personal Mobile Gateway.

SSID Broadcast – Check this box to disable broadcasting the configured

ESSID. The Personal Mobile Gateway is configured by default as an “open

system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured ESSID.

Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the

beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the

Personal Mobile Gateway. When disabled, the Personal Mobile Gateway does

not include its ESSID in beacon messages. This provides a basic level of

security, since wireless clients must be pre-configured with the ESSID to

connect to the Personal Mobile Gateway.

2. WAN Type – The WAN Type page is for specifying the WAN port connection to

your Internet service provider (ISP). When one of the four options is specified,

the Wizard displays the appropriate configuration parameters.

connection.

Fixed-IP xDSL – Selects configuration for a fixed IP address xDSL Internet

connection.

Dial Up xDSL (PPPoE) – Selects configuration for an Internet connection using

the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).

3. WAN Settings – The WAN Settings page displays the configuration settings for

the WAN Type that you have selected. The following example displays a Cable

Modem selection.

For a cable modem connection, the unit requires no further configuration and

prompts you to move to step four.

Figure 2-8. Gateway WAN Type - Fixed-IP xDSL

For a fixed IP xDSL connection, you are prompted for the following information

(as supplied by your ISP):

IP Address – If your ISP has assigned you a fixed IP address, enter the

address here.

Subnet Mask – Enter the subnet mask as supplied by your ISP.

ISP Gateway Address – The gateway IP address of your ISP.

Figure 2-9. Gateway WAN Type - Dial-Up xDSL

For a dial-up xDSL (PPPoE) connection you are prompted for the following

information:

User Name – Enter your user name for connecting to the xDSL service, as

supplied by your ISP. (Range: 1-32 characters)

Password – Specify the password for your xDSL connection, as supplied by

your ISP. (Default: No password)

Service Name – Enter the xDSL service name (if any) as supplied by your ISP.

MTU (1400~1492) – The Maximum Transmission Unit for Ethernet data

transmission. Only change the default value if specifically instructed by your

ISP. (Range: 1400~1492 bytes)

Maximum Idle Time (1~99) – The maximum length of inactive time the unit will

stay connected to the xDSL service provider before disconnecting. This feature

only works when Auto-Reconnect is selected. (Range: 1~99 minutes)

Auto-reconnect – Selecting this option prompts the unit to reconnect to the

xDSL service provider after the connection has been lost.

4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) – The VoIP page allows you to configure

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) parameters for enabling Internet telephony.

VoIP service providers operate SIP “proxy servers” that allow you to register

your Personal Mobile Gateway on their system so that you can make telephone

calls over the Internet. Your VoIP service provider will provide you with the

connection details that need to be set up on the Personal Mobile Gateway to be

able to use their service.

the user to the SIP server, as supplied by the VoIP service provider.

User Authentication Password – An alphanumeric string that uniquely

identifies the SIP user’s permission rights, as supplied by the VoIP service

provider.

Wireless Client Mode

When configuring the unit to operate as a wireless client, you will need to proceed

through the following two steps:

1. Settings – The settings page takes you through the process of searching and

selecting the access point to which you want to connect.

If you know the SSID of the wireless network, you can enter it directly in the text

box provided. Otherwise, you may perform a wireless scan to detect all access

points that are within range, and then select the access point you want to

connect to from a list.

access points. A list of deteced access points is displayed from which you can

select an access point to connect to.

Selected AP SSID – Enter the service set identifier of the wireless network you

want to connect to. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32

alphanumeric characters.

WEP Key – WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) provides a basic level of

security in wireless networks, it prevents unauthorized access by encrypting

data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static

shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are

manually distributed to all clients that want to use an access point. If the

wireless network you are connecting to uses WEP security, you need to enter

the WEP key provided to you by the network operator.

Show Connection Status – Displays the connection status of the unit to the

selected access point.
