Basic Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or

in the attic or garage.

Before You Begin

Please read and make sure you understand all the prerequisites for proper installation of your new router. Have all the necessary information and equipment on hand before

beginning the installation.

Installation Notes

In order to establish a connection to the Internet it will be necessary to provide information to the router that will be stored in its memory. For some users, only their account

information (Username and Password) is required. For others, various parameters that control and define the Internet connection will be required.

Low Pass Filters

Since ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wiring to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism may be necessary to avoid mutual interference. A

low pass filter device can be installed for each telephone that shares the line with the ADSL line. These filters are easy to install passive devices that connect to the ADSL

device and/or telephone using standard telephone cable. Ask your service provider for more information about the use of low pass filters with your installation.

Operating Systems

The router uses an HTML-based web interface for setup and management. The Web configuration manager may be accessed using any operating system capable of running

web browser software, including Windows

®

, Macintosh, and Linux-based Operating Systems.

Web Browser

Any common Web browser can be used to configure the router using the Web configuration management software. The program is designed to work best with more recently

released browsers such as Internet Explorer 7 or higher, Firefox 3.5 or higher, Safari 4 or higher, or Chrome 8 or higher.. The Web browser must have JavaScript enabled.

JavaScript is enabled by default on many browsers. Make sure JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security packages)

that may be running on your computer.

Ethernet Port (NIC Adapter)

Any computer that uses the router must be able to connect to it through one of the Ethernet ports on the router. This connection is an Ethernet connection and therefore

requires that your computer be equipped with an Ethernet port as well. Most notebook computers are now sold with an Ethernet port already installed. Likewise, most fully

assembled desktop computers come with an Ethernet adapter as standard equipment. If your computer does not have an Ethernet port, you must install an Ethernet NIC

adapter before you can use the router. If you must install an adapter, follow the installation instructions that come with the Ethernet NIC adapter.

Additional Software

It may be necessary to install software on your computer that enables the computer to access the Internet. Additional software must be installed if you are using the device a

simple bridge. For a bridged connection, the information needed to make and maintain the Internet connection is stored on another computer or gateway device, not in the

router itself.

If your ADSL service is delivered through a PPPoE connection, the information needed to establish and maintain the Internet connection can be stored in the router. In this

case, it is not necessary to install software on your computer. It may however be necessary to change some settings in the device, including account information used to

identify and verify the connection.

All connections to the Internet require a unique global IP address. For bridged connections, the global IP settings must reside in a TCP/IP enabled device on the LAN side of

the bridge, such as a PC, a server, a gateway device such as a router or similar firewall hardware. The IP address can be assigned in a number of ways. Your network

service provider will give you instructions about any additional connection software or NIC configuration that may be required.

Information needed from ADSL service provider

Username

This is the Username used to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. Your ADSL service provider uses this to identify your account.

Password

This is the Password used, in conjunction with the Username above, to log on to your ADSL service provider’s network. This is used to verify the identity of your account.

WAN Setting / Connection Type

These settings describe the method your ADSL service provider uses to transport data between the Internet and your computer. Most users will use the default settings. You

may need to specify one of the following WAN Setting and Connection Type configurations (Connection Type settings listed in parenthesis):

•

Static IP Address (1483 Routed IP LLC or 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux)

•

DHCP (1483 Routed IP LLC or 1483 Routed IP VC-Mux)

•

PPPoE (PPPoE LLC or PPPoE VC-Mux)

•

PPPoA (PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-Mux)

•

Bridge Mode (1483 Bridged IP LLC or 1483 Bridged IP VC Mux)

Modulation Type

ADSL uses various standardized modulation techniques to transmit data over the allotted signal frequencies. Some users may need to change the type of modulation used for

their service. The default DSL modulation (Autosense) used for the router automatically detects all types of ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ modulation.

Security Protocol

This is the method your ADSL service provider will use to verify your Username and Password when you log on to their network. Your router supports the PAP and CHAP

protocols.

VPI

Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) is used in conjunction with the Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) to identify the data path

between your ADSL service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI

as instructed by your ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface.

VCI

Most users will not be required to change this setting. The Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) used in conjunction with the VPI to identify the data path between your ADSL

service provider’s network and your computer. If you are setting up the router for multiple virtual connections, you will need to configure the VPI and VCI as instructed by your

ADSL service provider for the additional connections. This setting can be changed in the WAN Settings window of the web management interface.
