Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

2.1 Panel Layout

2.1.1. Front Panel

The front panel features three 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, one Wide Area network
(WAN) port and diagnostic LED indicators. The WAN port connects your DSL or cable
modem to the router. The LAN ports are used to connect to your computers or other
network devices. LEDs monitor the status of each port.

2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation

1. Decide where to place your Wireless Broadband Router:

You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk or other flat surface, or you
can mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband Router
in the center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any potential
source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven. This location must be
close to power and network connection.

2. Setup LAN connection:

a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet

port to one of the LAN ports of this product.

b. Wireless LAN connection: make sure the antennas are in a vertical position (if not,

rotate over 90 degrees).

Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN and WAN connections for this product.

3. Setup WAN connection: prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting this product to

your cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure 2-3 illustrates the WAN

connection.

4. Power on:

Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this

product will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase,

the indicators M1 and M2 will be lighted ON for about 10 seconds, and then M1 and

M2 will be flashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally,

the M1 will be continuously flashed once per second to indicate that this product is in

normal operation.

Chapter 3 Network Settings and Software Installation

To use this product correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your
computers and install the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform
(Windows 95/98/NT/2000).

3.1 Make correct network settings of your computer

The default IP address of this product is 192.168.123.254, and the default subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed on your need, but the default values are
used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been
configured, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For example,

1. configure IP as 192.168.123.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as

192.168.123.254, or more easier,

2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP
server of this product.

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to
check if your computer has successfully connected to this product. The following example
shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command

ping 192.168.123.254

If the following messages appear:

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.123.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64

a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully
established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,

Pinging 192.168.123.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
