2.4 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 top of the product is

a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are

not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your

Planet router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line

filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a

Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician).

Also, ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around.

Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can cause

problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3 Installation

The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included

as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/Me/NT

/2000/XP, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for

configuration.

3.1 Before Configuration

PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the

router either directly or through an external repeater hub. PCs also have TCP/IP

installed and configured 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 problems accessing the router’s web interface, it may be

advisable to

uninstall

any kind of software firewall on your PCs. They can cause

problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should

make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation.

First of all, please check your PC’s 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.
