Connecting Your ATU-R130

In this part, you connect the device to the phone jack, the power outlet, and your computer

or network.

Figure 4 illustrates the hardware connections.

Refer to the steps that follow for specific

instructions.

WARNING

Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices.

These

include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable),

and the ATU-R130.

Step 1. Connect the ADSL cable

Connect one end of the provided phone cable to the port labeled ADSL

{

XE "ADSL cable"

}{

XE "ADSL port"

}

on the rear panel of the device. Connect the other end to your wall

phone jack.

Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable.

If you are connecting a LAN to the ATU-R130 ADSL/Ethernet router, attach one end of a

provided Ethernet cable to a regular hub port and the other to the Ethernet port on the

ATU-R130.

If you are using the ATU-R130 with a single computer and no hub, you must use a

“crossover”Ethernet cable

{

XE "Ethernet cable"

}

(not provided) to attach the PC directly to

the device. The crossover cable is wired differently than the cable you would use to

connect to a hub. When you compare the colored wires on each end of a straight-through

cable, they will be in the same sequence; on crossover cables, they will not. Contact your

ISP for assistance.

Step 3. Attach the power connector.{ XE "Power connector" }

Connect the AC power adapter to the PWR connector labeled DC IN on the back of the

device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.

Step 4. Power up your systems.

Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices such as hubs or switches.

Step 5: Install USB software and connect the USB cable. { XE "USB:installing" }

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

if you have an 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 and configure the computer.

For complete instructions, see page 10.

Configuring Your Computers

This part provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on your computers to

work with the ATU-R130.

Before you begin{ XE "PC configuration" }{ XE "Computers:configuring IP

information" }{ XE "IP information:configuring on LAN computers" }

By default, the ATU-R130 automatically assigns all required Internet settings to your PCs.

You need only to configure the PCs to accept the information when it is assigned.

Note

In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information

manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the

ATU-R130 to do so. See “

Assigning static Internet information

to your PCs

”

on page 10 for instructions.

?

If you have connected your PC via the USB port, see the USB configuration

instructions on page 10.
