Chapter 5: Software support

• If you use a network cable connected to a home router (which is then

connected to your DSL/cable modem), enable both LAN1 and LAN2. Express

Gate will automatically use whichever port (LAN1 or LAN2) is connected.

If you plug the network cable into a different port while Express Gate is running

(e.g. move the cable from LAN1 to LAN2), you may need to press the “Refresh”

button to detect the change.

• The most common scenario is for your computer to automatically obtain

network settings (i.e. DHCP). If this is the case, you don’t need to click Setup

for any LAN port. If this is not the case, click Setup to configure the static IP

settings manually.

• If you use wireless, click Setup for the WiFi option. In the WiFi tab of the

Advanced Network Settings box, enter the name of your wireless access

point in the SSID field. If your wireless access point has security enabled,

select the corresponding security algorithm from the drop-down list (e.g.

WEPAUTO) in the Encryption Type field, and enter the password.

Click OK to enable WiFi and establish the wireless connection.
• If you use a network cable connected directly to your DSL/cable modem (no

router in between), click Setup for xDSL/cable dial-up. This method is also

referred to as PPPoE. Choose whether the DSL/cable modem is connected

to your computer’s LAN port. Then enter the username and password for your

dial-up account.

Click OK to enable xDSL/cable dial-up and establish the PPPoE connection.

When PPPoE is enabled, the port it uses will automatically be unchecked and

grayed out.
