2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation

2. 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: connects an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of the

LAN ports of this product.

b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this product at a proper position to gain the best transmit performance.

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 will be lighted ON for about 10
seconds, and then M1 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.

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 192.168.1.254, 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 configu red, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For
example,

1. configure IP as 192.168.1.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.254, 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 compu ter

Reply from 192.168.1.254: 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 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

There must be something wrong in your installation procedure. You have to check the following items in
sequence:

1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?

Tip: The LAN LED of this product and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted.

2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?

Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, the IP address of your computer must be

192.168.1.X and default gateway must be 192.168.1.254.

your computer is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from this product. The
settings of DHCP server include the following items:

1. DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”

2. IP pool starting Address/ IP pool starting Address: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP

server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting
computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.

3. Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.

4. Primary DNS/Secondary DNS: This feature allows you to assign DNS Servers

5. Primary WINS/Secondary WINS: This featu re allows you to assign WINS Servers

6. Gateway: The Gateway Address would be the IP address of an alternate Gateway.

This function enables you to assign another gateway to your PC, when DHCP server
offers an IP to your PC.

4.4.3 Wir el e ss Setting, 802.1X setting and WDS

Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.

1. Wireless : The user can enable or disalbe wireless function.

roam freely over this product and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. (The factory setting is
“default”)

3. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory Domain.

The factory setting is as follow: channel 6 for North America; channel 7 for European (ETSI) ; channel 7
for Japan.

4. WEP Security: Select the data privacy algorithm you want. Enabling the security can protect your data

while it is transferred from one station to another. The standardized IEEE 802.11 WEP (128 or 64-bit) is
used here.

22
