DISCUS™ DRG A124G

The router can be positioned at any convenient location in your office or home.

No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however,

comply with the following guidelines:

•

Keep the Router away from any heating devices

•

Do not place the Router in a dusty or wet environment

You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from

the outlet and keep your hands dry when you install the Router.

INSTALLING MICRO

FILTERS

Before beginning installation you must locate devices in your house requiring a

DSL filter such as phones, fax machines, answering machines, dial-up mo-

dems, Satellite TV dialers or monitored security systems and attach a DSL filter

to any one of them sharing the same phone line as your DSL modem.

To install DSL filters please follow these steps:

1.

Disconnect the phone cable from the telephone wall socket

2.

Insert the phone cable into the DSL filter port identified with a phone symbol

3.

Insert the DSL filter cable into the telephone wall socket

You do not need to attach a DSL filter to unused wall sockets.

To power up the Router:

1.

Plug the power adapter into the power adapter port located on the rear of the

Router

2.

Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical wall socket

3.

Press the Power button located on the rear panel of the Router

4.

Wait for the power LED to turn steady green

In case of power input failure, the Router will automatically restart and begin to

operate once the input power is restored.

If the Router is properly configured, it will take about 30 seconds to establish a

connection with the ADSL service provider after powering up.

During this time the ADSL Sync indicator will flash. After the ADSL connection

has been established, the ADSL Sync indicator will stay on.

CONNECTING THE

ROUTER

The first step to install the router is to physically connect it to the telephone

socket and then to connect it to a computer with Ethernet connection.

To connect the phone cable:

1.

Connect one end of the phone cable into the DSL filter port identified with a

computer symbol

2.

Connect the other end of the phone cable into the DSL port on the rear of

the Router

1.

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the four Ethernet ports on

the rear of the Router

2.

Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet Network card

of your computer

3.

Verify if the Ethernet Network card is configured as DHCP client, otherwise

configure it to remain in the same local network of the router interface (see

chapter “Setting Up Your Computer”)

The LAN port on the Router auto-negotiates the connection speed and the du-

plex mode with the connecting device.

Use twisted-pair cabling to connect the Router to an Ethernet adapter on your

PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the Router to an Ethernet hub

or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector

clicks into position to ensure that is properly seated.

Do not plug a phone jack into RJ-45. This may damage the Router. Instead, use only twisted-pair ca-

bles with RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports.

We recommend using Category 5 cable for connections with the device. Also, make sure the lenght of

each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters ( 328 feet ).

INSTALL SOFTWARE

The very first time you set up your computer, we recommend you to use the

Smart Setup Configuration Utility if your ISP has provided you with.

Before installing the

DISCUS™ DRG A124G

software please close all applications to avoid any con-

flict.

This utility offers a guided product tour, a step by step hardware installation

guide, a software installation guide, a setup and a driven user registration with

DSL Internet connection line check.

Smart Setup Configuration Utility allows, for supported Microsoft® Windows

Operating Systems, to setup automatically your computer Ethernet settings.

To launch it, insert the CD-ROM in CD-ROM unit: if the auto-play function is en-

abled it will start automatically, otherwise open it manually from “

x:

”, where

x

is

your CD-ROM drive letter.

ETHERNET CONNECTION

You have to verify the existence of a TCP/IP protocol stack and, then, according

to your Operating System, to establish an Ethernet connection to the Router.

This connection will require you to enable your computer to receive from the

Router its own IP Address automatically: in such a case, the Router acts like the

DHCP server in your local network.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

To access the Internet through the Router, you must configure the network set-

tings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as Router. The

default IP settings for the Router are:

IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.1

SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0

These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements, but you must

first configure at least one computer to access the router's web configuration in-

terface in order to make the required changes.
