• After connecting the power cord and the power source is turned on, the
Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few
minutes for the Router to fully start up.
• Turn on your computer. After your computer boots up, the LAN status LED
on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer
is connected. These lights show you the connection and activity status. Now
you are ready to configure the Router for ADSL connection.
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
will need to change your computer’s 'TCP/IP Ethernet' settings to 'Obtain an
IP address automatically/Using DHCP'. This is normally the default setting
in most home computers. Consult your operating system’s Help files for
information on changing this setting, if required.

Understanding the Web-Based User Interface
5
Quick-Navigation Tabs - You can go directly to any of the Router’s UI pages
by clicking directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories
and grouped by tabs to make finding a particular setting easier to find.
Help is available to the right of each page.
Setup
The panel to the left of this page contains setup wizards to allow you to
quickly and conveniently make changes to your modem router configuration.
Wizards are provided for the following features:
• Internet Connection - This Wizard scans your Internet connection and
connects to the Internet. Most cable modems will connect automatically
when the Internet Connection Wizard is run. DSL modems may require
PPPoE information to connect to the Internet. If your connection requires a
password or other PPPoE information, have it ready! Your ISP can provide this
information if you don’t have it.
• Wireless SSID - This Wizard lets you set an SSID (network name) and chose a
wireless channel for your network.
• Wireless Encryption - This Wizard lets you choose the type of encryption to
use on your wireless network.
• Port forwarding - This Wizard lets you set a Static NAT to play Internet
Games.
• Windows Live Messenger Settings - This Wizard lets you enable UPnP’s
Internet gateway function. Windows Live (MSN) Messenger requires this to

function correctly.
• Wireless Multicast Rate - This Wizard sets the Wireless Multicast Rate and
IPv6 Pass Through.
• Firmware Update – This wizard installs an AirStation Firmware update.
• Initialisation - This Wizard restores the AirStation to factory default settings.
An overview of your AirStation’s system information is displayed on the right.
The wireless section displays the status and encryption settings of your
wireless LAN access point.
Shortcuts are also available for AOSS and WPS connection methods.
Internet/LAN
Internet
The Internet Setup section is for setting your broadband gateway to work
correctly with your ISP’s equipment. This includes your ISP’s Internet servers
and the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) network between the gateway
and the servers.
Note: Information on what settings to use in this section must be obtained
from your ISP.
The “
Internet/LAN
” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your
Internet Service Provider.

Connection Type
From the “
Connection Type”
drop down box, you can select one of these five
connection types based on the instruction provided by your ISP:
• RFC 2516 PPPoE
• RFC 2364 PPPoA
• 1483 Bridged
• 1483 Routed
• Bridge Mode Only
Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of con
-
necting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access
the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK.
Setting your Connection Type to RFC 1483 Bridged/Routed
This connection method bridges your network and your ISP’s network
together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP’s
DHCP server.
Setting your Connection Type to Bridge Mode Only (Disable Internet
Sharing)
In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets across the
DSL port. It requires additional software to be installed on your computers in
order to access the Internet.
