Connecting Your Device

Two options are available for connecting the ADSL cable:

Option 1: Connect the ADSL port (same as a regular telephone port) on the rear panel

of DR811/DR814 to the wall jack of telephone line using the telephone cable.

Option 2: Connect the ADSL port on DR811/DR814 and a telephone set to a splitter,

and then the splitter to the wall jack of telephone line. Thus you may place phone calls

when accessing the Internet.

2)

Connect the Ethernet cable

You can choose one of the following two options:

●

If you are connecting a LAN hub to the ADSL router, attach one end of the

provided Ethernet cable to a regular hub port and the other to the one of the

Ethernet ports on the device.

●

If you are connecting a single Ethernet computer to the ADSL router, attach it

directly to the one of the Ethernet ports on the device via an Ethernet cable.

3)

Attach the power connector

Connect the power adapter to the Power connector on the back of the device and plug

the adapter into a wall outlet or power strip. DR811/DR814 has no power switch; so it is

powered on soon after the power cable is connected to the power jacket.

4)

Configure your Ethernet PCs

You must also configure the Internet properties on your Ethernet PCs. Refer to

”

5.1

Configuring Ethernet PCs

”

.

5)

Install USB software and connect the USB cable

Only include this step if you want users to use the USB port.

You can attach a single computer to the device using a USB cable. The USB port is

useful if you have a USB-enabled PC that does not have a network interface card for

attaching to your Ethernet network.

Before attaching the USB cable, you must install a USB driver on your PC and

configure the computer. For complete instructions, refer to

Getting Started with

the Web Pages

The ADSL router provides a series of web pages that function as an interface for

managing the device. These web pages enable you to configure the device to meet the

needs of your network. You can access them through your web browser from any PC

connected to the device via

the LAN or USB port.

3.1 Accessing the Web Pages

To access the web pages, you need the following:

●

A PC or laptop connected to the LAN or USB port on the device.

●

A web browser installed on the PC. The minimum browser version requirement is

Internet Explorer v5.0 or Netscape v4. For the best display quality, use Internet

Explorer v6, or Netscape v6.1.

1. The default IP settings for the ADSL router are as follows:

IP address: 192.168.1.1

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Before performing the above configurations on the ADSL router, first have the computer

set in the same subnet with the router. To do so, first install and enable the TCP/IP

protocol (refer to 5.1

Configuring Ethernet PCs), and then set an IP address and a

subnet mask, for example,

192.168.1.100

and

255.255.255.0

. Make sure the IP

settings place the computer in the same subnet as the router.

2. If the browser software on the computer you are using is configured to use

a proxy server for Internet access, it is necessary to first disable the proxy

connection.

In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check if a proxy server is enabled using the

following procedure:

●

In the Explorer Window, select and click on

Tools

->

Internet Options

to enter the

Internet Options

window.
