The detail instruction in Reset Button

1. Recovery procedures for non-working routers (e.g. after a failed firmware upgrade flash):

Hold the Reset Button on the back of the modem in. Keep this button held in and turn on the

modem. Once power LED lits orange, release the Reset Button. The modem’s emergency-reflash

web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.1.254 where you can upload a firmware

image to restore the modem to a functional state. Please note that the modem will only respond

via its web interface at this address, and will not respond to ping requests from your PC or to telnet

connections.

Before powering on the router to enter the recovery process, please configure the

IP address of the PC as

192.168.1.100

and proceed with the following step by step

guide.

1. Power the router off.

2. Hold the "Reset Button”.

3. Power on the router. Then Router's IP will reset to Emergency IP

address (Say 192.168.1.254)

4. Download the firmware.

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 lit. If they are not, verify if you are using the proper cables.

Make sure that all devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same

telephone line as your router

have a line filter connected between them and the wall outlet (unless

you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician),

and that

all line filters are correctly installed in a right way. If line filter is not installed and connected

properly, it may cause problem to your ADSL connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3: Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your w

eb browser. A web browser is included as a standard

application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows

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.
