Connect the detachable antenna to this port.

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.

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.

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 an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.

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.

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

connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to

connecting to 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’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.
