Cabling

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

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

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

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g.

telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and

the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified

and licensed electrician), and ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way

around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause problems

with

your

ADSL

connection,

including

causing

frequent

disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured with 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,

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

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either

directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured 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 problems

accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to

uninstall

any kind of software

firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of

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

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please

check your PC’s 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.

Connecting your router

1. Connect the Router to a LAN (Local Area Network) and the ADSL/telephone network.

2. Power on the device.

3. Make sure the

PWR

and

SYS

LEDs are lit steadily and that the

relevant LAN

LED is lit.

(

For (Wireless)ADSL Router Only

:

the WLAN LED will be lit steadily).

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or

through

the

(Wireless)ADSL

Router.

To

configure

other

types

of

workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
