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 panel of your router is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the

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

If

the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact technical

support.

Make sure you have a line filter with all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems)

connected to the same telephone line 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.

If you have a back-to-base alarm system you should contact your security provider for a technician

to make any necessary changes.

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 7 / 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.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To

configure other types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.
