2.4 Hardware installation
This section describes how to connect and configure the ADSL2+ Router.
Step 1. Connect the ADSL Line
Connect the router directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable.
Step 2. Connect a Workstation to the Router's LAN port
There are two methods to connect the router and workstation. The one use the crossover Ethernet
cable to connect directly between them. The other use straight Ethernet cable to connect router with
hub (or switch), then go to the workstation.
Step 3. Connect the Power Adapter to the Router
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of router.
Step 4. Connect All Cables to the Network
The procedure for connecting cables differs depending on whether or not your telephone equipment is
connected to a POTS splitter.
POTS Splitter Configuration (ADSL over POTS)
A POTS splitter separates data signals from voice signals on your telephone line. The POTS splitter
works by running a separate data line from the voice line, so that the ADSL router has a dedicated
cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.1 and 2-3.2 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.

Note:
The POTS splitter may also be installed on the outside of the house adjacent to the telephone
network interface device (NID).

ISDN Splitter Configuration (ADSL over ISDN)
A ISDN splitter separates ADSL signals from ISDN signals on your ISDN telephone line. The ISDN
splitter works by running a separate ADSL line from the ISDN line, so that the ADSL router has a
dedicated cable for data transmission. Figure 2-3.3 shows how to connect all cables to the Router.

Chapter 3 Configuration
3.1 Determine your connection settings
Before you configure the router, you need to know the connection information supplied by your ADSL
service provider.
3.2 Connecting the ADSL Router to your network
Unlike a simple hub or switch, the setup of the ADSL Router consists of more than simply plugging
everything together. Because the Router acts as a DHCP server, you will have to set some values
within the Router, and also configure your networked PCs to accept the IP Addresses the Router
chooses to assign them. Generally there are several different operating modes for your applications.
And you can know which mode is necessary for your system from ISP. These modes are router,
bridge, PPPoE+NAT and NAT and PPPoA+NAT.
3.3 Configuring with Web Browser
It is advisable to change the administrator password to safeguard the security of your network.
To configure the router, open your browser, type
into the address bar and click
'Go' to get to the login page. Save this address in your Favorites for future reference.
At the User name prompt, type '
admin
'. And the Password prompt, type '
admin
'. You can change
these later if you wish. Click
'OK
'.
