Client configuration to access the Internet
We strongly recommend that you use the Magnia SG30
"Client Setup- and Documentation CD" to configure your
local client computers. If you do this, your client computers
will automatically be configured to use the Magnia SG30 as
their gateway to the Internet. No further configuration
changes should be necessary.
If you choose to configure your client computers manually to
access the Magnia SG30 (without the "Client Setup- and
Documentation CD"), see
“Manually Configuring Clients for
for complete instructions.
Dial-out modem usage
The optional modem on the Magnia SG30 can be used for
either dial-out access to the Internet through an ISP, or dial-in
access to the local network. While you can configure it for
use in both these ways, the modem cannot handle both
incoming and outgoing connections at the same time.
Configuring the modem or ISDN adapter for outgoing
Internet connectivity can keep it busy for significant periods.
Please note that the features described below may not appear
on your Administration Web site if you have not configured
an Internet connection using the modem.
Viewing modem status
Checking modem status can help you to identify why it is
currently in use, or to troubleshoot problems connecting to
ISPs. You can see what the modem or ISDN adapter is
currently doing in several ways.
The quickest way to view the current status is on the LCD
screen. To make sure modem messages have been turned on
