Introduction to Nokia M and MW Gateways

2 Introduction to Nokia M and MW Gateways

Nokia M and MW gateways utilise ADSL/SHDSL technology, providing high- speed Internet connections for home users, small offices and telecommuters.

The highly integrated Nokia MW series gateways can support wireless (WLAN) and Ethernet clients within your local network.

Nokia M series gateways have the same features except that they do not have a WLAN interface.

MW1324 also supports Home Phoneline (HPNA) function. With HomePNA 2.0, home networkers are able to use a wide variety of applications at a higher speed using the existing wiring at home.

Regardless of the LAN interface used for the clients, they all can belong to the same subnet for seamless networking.

Nokia M/MW Gateways M1112, M1122, MW1112, MW1122, MW1324, MW1352

Depending on the wall material, you may have to drill holes and use plastic plugs to install the gateway on the wall. Certain wall materials do not require drilled holes or plugs.

WARNING

Before drilling and/or fixing the screws, make sure that there are no electric cables, phone cables, waterpipes or any other objects at the drilling points inside the wall. Electric cables and telephone cables carry voltages which can cause dangerous electric shocks.

If drilling holes and the use of plugs are required, do the following:

1.Drill two holes (6 mm in diameter) on the wall. The distance between the holes must be 155 mm.

2.Insert the plugs into the holes.

3.Fix the screws.

4.Mount the gateway on the wall as shown in Figure 6. Make sure the gateway is seated firmly.

If drilling and plugs are not required, do the following:

1.Fix the screws on the wall. Do not use plugs. The distance between the screws must be 155 mm.

2.Mount the gateway on the wall as shown in Figure 6. Make sure the gateway is seated firmly.

4.3Connecting the data cables (and WLAN cards)

WARNING

Do not connect the gateway's power cord yet!

Note

If you are using WLAN cards, note that the installation procedure described below only covers the physical installation of the WLAN cards.

Before you can use your gateway's wireless feature, you must first install Nokia C110/C111 WLAN card software on your computer. The software and installation guide are delivered with the optional Nokia C110/C111 WLAN card.

Connect the data cables

1.Connect the 8-pin Ethernet cable between the computer's Ethernet card and the gateway's Ethernet connector located in the gateway's back panel.

Steps 2 and 3 are for MW1324 only.

2.If you use a splitter with your MW1324, connect an additional DSL/HPNA cable (RJ-12) between the HPNA connector of your MW1324 and a phone wall socket after the splitter.

If you use a microfilter before each phone, you do not need to install the additional DSL/HPNA cable. In such a case, leave the HPNA connector unconnected. (The HPNA signal uses the same cable as ADSL, so no additional cabling is needed.)

3.Connect each PC in your home network to your home phoneline network (without microfilters). Your PC's must be equipped with HPNA network adapters.

4.Connect the 6-pin DSL cable between the gateway's DSL connector and your DSL phone wall socket.

Physical installation

MW models only: connect the WLAN cards

1.Insert one WLAN card gently into the card slot located in the back panel of the gateway.

2.Insert the other WLAN card(s) gently into the WLAN card slot(s) of your PC(s).

Connect the gateway's power cable

1.Plug the gateway's power cord into the mains connector located in gateway's back panel.

2.Connect the gateway's power cord plug into an earthed wall mains socket.

3.Switch on the power on your gateway.

Use filters if you want to use telephone and Internet simultaneously

Use in-line filters to block the high-frequency signals (data) from travelling through the phone cord to your telephone, fax or answering machine. DSL and HomePNA use the high bandwidth of your telephone line to transmit and receive data.

Use approved filters only and install them according to the manufacturer's instructions.

4.4Installing an external WLAN antenna (MW series only)

To obtain a better coverage for your wireless network, you can use external antennas.

With Nokia C111 WLAN card, up to two external antennas can be used.

If you use only one external antenna, connect the external antenna to the right antenna connector of the wireless LAN card. See figure 7.

Install the external antenna on the wall or on the ceiling according to figure 8. For further information, refer to the WLAN card User's Guide.

Configuring your PC(s) and gateway for use

5 Configuring your PC(s) and gateway for use

This chapter describes briefly the basic configuration of your PC and gateway so that they can communicate with each other.

You must create a connection between your PC and gateway.

For the connection, you need a browser (Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer or equivalent).

Once a connection between your gateway and PC is established, you have access to the gateway's web page.

After you have made all the necessary configurations for your gateway and PC, you are ready to use the Internet.

Before proceeding, take some time to check that all the cables are properly connected and that your PC is set up properly.

5.1Finding out the gateway's IP address or name

The gateway has a web interface with which you can configure the gateway and view the gateway's web pages.

First, you have to create a connection between your PC and the gateway.

For this, you need to know either the gateway's IP address or the name assigned to it.

You have two options:

Your ISP has given a fixed IP address for the gateway. Use this address for the browser connection.

Nokia M/MW Gateways M1112, M1122, MW1112, MW1122, MW1324, MW1352

Your gateway uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name Server. In this case the name is M1112, M1122, MW1112, MW1122, MW1324 or MW1352, depending on the model.

To find out the IP address, you can also run winipcfg.exe (Windows 95/98/Me) or ipconfig.exe (Windows 2000/NT). See the instructions below.

To find out the IP address in Win95/98/Me

1.Click Start, and then click Run.

2.In the Open box, type:

3.winipcfg (IP dialog box opens)
