guide.
Option b. Dial as Primary Connection
Connect the supplied phone cable between the port labeled

The AT&T NetGate needs basic set-up of the dial interface before it

guide.
Option c. Cellular Connection
Insert your approved cellular USB modem into one of the USB ports

In most cases, your devices will attach directly to the AT&T NetGate
8200 via one of the 8 VLAN ports via a straight-through Ethernet
