This section explains how to connect your PC to the BSGX4e, log in, and start the Initial
Setup Wizard. This section also describes the navigation features of the wizard and an
overview of the configuration process.
At this point you have:
‰
acquired all the cables you need, as shown in Table 1 on page 9
‰
gathered the configuration data cited in Table 2 on page 12 .
Note: The next procedure includes connecting your PC to the BSGX4e. Your PC must be
equipped with a Network Interface Card (NIC), which provides the RJ-45 connector needed
for this connection. A NIC is built in to virtually all laptop PCs, and is standard equipment on
most desktop PCs. Look for an RJ-45 connector on the back panel of your PC. The RJ-45 has
eight connector pins in it.
Browser requirements
The BSGX4e has been tested with Microsoft ® Internet Explorer ® and Mozilla ® FireFox ®
browsers.
Internet Explorer must have the Adobe
® Shockwave ® Flash Object add-on. Firefox must
have the Adobe Flash Player plug-in. Use the Manage Add-ons (Explorer) or the Add-ons
(Firefox) command in your browser to obtain the plug-in.
Initial connections
Perform the following steps to connect the BSGX4e to the Internet, connect your PC to
the BSGX4e, and open the Initial Setup Wizard. Network cables are described in
Table 1
on page 9 .
For connection diagrams, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 beginning on page 10 .
Step 1 Connect the power source.
Connect the power supply to 12V DC connector on the back panel of the BSGX4e.
CAUTION: Your PC must be configured to accept addresses from DHCP rather
than having a static address, otherwise Step 3 fails. DHCP is the default in PCs.
But if your PC has been previously configured for a particular network (for
example, a home network), it may have a static address. Consult the user guide
of your PC, or professional assistance, to change the address configuration.
