Hub or Switch to Router Connection
Connect the Router to an uplink port on an Ethernet hub or switch with a straight-through cable as
shown in the diagram below:
Computer to Router Connection
You can connect the
Router directly to a
10/100BASE-TX
Ethernet adapter card
(NIC) installed on a
PC using the Ethernet
cable provided as
shown in this
diagram.
If you wish to reserve the
uplink port on the switch or
hub for another device,
connect to any on the other
MDI-X ports (1x, 2x, etc.)
with a crossed cable.

Basic Router Configuration
The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection
using a single computer connected directly to the Router. Once the WAN connection is functioning
properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration including IP settings and
DHCP setup.
Wan Configuration Summary
1.
Connect to the Router
To configure the WAN connection used by the Router it is first
necessary to communicate with the Router through its management interface, which is
HTML-based and can be accessed using a web browser. To access the management
software your computer must be able to
“
see
”
the Router. Your computer can see the
Router if it is in the same
“
neighborhood
”
or subnet as the Router. This is accomplished by
making sure your computer has IP settings that place it in the same subnet as the Router.
The easiest way to make sure your computer has the correct IP settings is to configure it to
use the DHCP server in the Router. The section below describes how to change the IP
configuration for a computer running a Windows operating system to be a DHCP client.
2.
Configure the WAN Connection
Once your are able to access the configuration software
you can proceed to change the settings required to establish the ADSL connection and
connect to the service provider
’
s network. There are different methods used to establish
the connection to the service provider
’
s network and ultimately to the Internet. You should
know what connection type you are required to use for your ADSL service. It is also
possible that you must change the PVC settings used for the ADSL connection. Your service
provider should provide all the information you need to configure the WAN connection.
Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the
TCP/IP protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has
TCP/IP protocol installed. If you are using Windows XP the TCP/IP is enabled by default for
standard installations. Below is an illustrated example of how to configure a Windows XP system to
automatically obtain IP settings from the Router. Following this example is a step-by-step
description of the procedures used on the other Windows operating systems to first check if the
TCP/IP protocol has been installed; if it is not, instructions are provided for installing it. Once the
protocol has been installed you can configure the system to receive IP settings from the Router.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that
configure the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be
a DHCP client.
