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 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.

Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult
the manufacturer’s documentation.
Chapter 3: 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: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The
product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
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.
There are ways to connect with the router, either through an external repeater hub to the router or
directly connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly
prior to connecting to the router device.
You ought to configure your PCs 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
192.168.0.254
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
192.168.0.1
to
192.168.0.253
). 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 problem 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
192.168.0.254
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.

(Local Area Network) and the ADSL/telephone (
