activity on this port.
LAN
The LAN LED displays the 10BaseT Ethernet connection between
the AresGate router and an Ethernet network. The green LAN LED is
on and remains solid if there is a valid link. The LED flashes when
there is data activity on this port.
WLAN
The WLAN LED displays the connection between the AresGate
router and a wireless LAN network. The green WLAN LED is on and

1.6 Application Scenarios
The AresGate router can easily fit into your personal networking
environment. The following application examples provides a basic
idea of how AresGate routers can improve your current network.
WAN Application
The AresGate router can incorporate with your existing Internet
access equipment, such as xDSL modem, Cable modem, or 56K
modem, and provide a gateway to the Internet for your entire network.
A. Shared Internet access through a ADSL/Cable modem
(ADSL/ Cable modem should be provided).
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
8AresGate 1000 User’s Installation Guide
B. Shared Internet access through a 56K fax modem*.
To support modem dial-up users, the AresGate router already has a
built-in 56K modem* that will replace all other 56K modems installed
in the PCs on the network.
NOTE: If you have ADSL or Cable modem for high speed Internet
access, the 56K* dial-up connection provides a good backup when your
ADSL or Cable service is down.
In the WAN Application scenario mentioned above, please be aware
of the following when you intend to use both applications*:
1. The 10 BaseT WAN port and 56K Line port are shared, which
means that you CANNOT use both 10 BaseT WAN port and 56K
Line port at the same time.
2. The 56K line has a higher priority over the 10BaseT WAN line. In
other words, if you are connected to the Ethernet WAN at the
moment and decide to use the 56K modem instead, then the
AresGate router will disconnect the Ethernet WAN interface and
initiate the 56K modem dial-up connection.
