Cabling

One of the most common causes of problem is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all

connected devices are turned on. On the front panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the

LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.

Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same

telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless

you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician),

and that all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected

properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard

application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista,

etc. The product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network

adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system

manuals.

There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to

your PCs. However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to

connecting the router device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a

DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP

address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC

must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).

The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router

using DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to

uninstall your firewall program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of

the router. Users should make their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.

Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.
