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.

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

router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s

documentation.
