3. Log into the DGFV338. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your wireless
firewall. You can also change your password and enable remote management at this time.
4. Configure the WAN Setup options for your ISP Internet connection(s). During this phase,
you will connect to your ISP(s). If you do not know your ISP connection type, Auto Detect
will attempt to automatically detect your connection type by probing for different connection
methods. If you know your ISP type, you can configure your connections manually. (Gather
your ISP connection information before you begin.)
You can also configure Advanced WAN options such as the MTU size, port speed, and MAC
address assignment, and you can configure WAN traffic meters.
5. Select the WAN mode for your Internet connection(s). You can configure single-WAN
operation using either the ADSL ISP or the Ethernet ISP, or you can configure Auto-Rollover
mode using both the ADSL and Ethernet ISPs. You can also configure the dynamic DNS for
the WAN ports (if needed).
6. Set up your wireless network connection. Select the appropriate Country/Region and
Operating Mode for your wireless network.
Because the wireless interface is disabled by default, the initial wireless configuration must be
made from a wired connection. During this step, you can also choose the wireless security
method, such as WEP or WPA, for your wireless network.
7. Set up your VPN connections using the VPN Wizard.

Using ADSL Microfilters (optional)

ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which may create noise in the telephone service. You can use ADSL
microfilters to filter out these signals before they reach your telephone. If you plan to use the
ADSL modem port, and an ADSL Microfilter is not included with your ProSafe DGFV338, you
should acquire one.
There are two types of ADSL Microfilters: a one-line filter and a two-line filter with splitter.
