2.5 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 front 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 Prolink 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), and 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

Basic 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/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista,
MAC, Linux, 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, and 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 also be advisable to
uninstall
any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as 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.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the H6300G. To configure other types of workstations, please
consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
