Before You Start


What You Will Need

Internet

You will need to have an active Internet account, supplied through either ADSL
or cable Modem, and your ISP user account and password information. (Your
ISP can supply you with this)

Hardware Requirements

A minimum of one PC with an installed Ethernet NIC (network interface card).
(If you have a DSL or Cable modem broadband connection to the Internet, you
should already have this). If you wish to connect wirelessly to your BR03GM
from a laptop, a wireless network PCMCIA notebook card is needed, and this
manual assumes it is already properly installed.

System Requirements

The BR03GM will work with Windows, Macintosh or Linux Operating System.
You just need a HTTP standard JavaScript-enabled browser, for example,
Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or above.

ISP Configuration Information

Depending on the type of ISP connection you have, you may need one or more
of the following configuration parameters.

ISP User ID and Password
ISP Domain Name Server (DNS)
Fixed IP address or Static IP address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
Host and Domain Names


If you are unsure of any of these settings, contact your ISP customer service.
