Follow the Installation Guide for the OfficeConnect Gateway.

For ease of use and installation, it is recommended that the Gateway
is used as a DHCP Server. This is the default configuration for the Gateway.

In the interests of security, the administration password should be changed
from the default setting.

                 4. Known problems with this release

Recent configuration changes may not be saved if the Gateway is power cycled.
Users should wait 30 seconds before power cycling the Gateway. This is not an
issue when applying a software reset from the Gateway menu.

Special Applications have a 5 minute time-out period. A second user will have
to wait 5 minutes after the first user has finished with the Special Application
before they may use it.

Not all software applications are designed to pass through the NAT firewall.  Users
are advised to check with the software vendors website for advice on how to make
their software work with firewalls.
