What is Easy Setup?
Easy Setup is a web browser-based software program that allows you to configure your router quic kl y and easily, even if you have never in st all ed a router before.
If a qualified technician from your Network Service Provider (NSP) has already installed your router, you don’t need to run the Easy Setup pro­gram. However, you may want t o read throug h this guide to gain a better understanding of how your router works.
If you’re an advanced user and want to cu stomize yo ur router, a command line interface (CLI) reference manual is available on the Installation CD.
If you do run Easy Setup, it will prompt you to select protocols and enter all the IP addresses provided by your NSP.
Confused by all the different IP addresses? A diagram on page 35 shows how your router ’s 2 IP addresses are rel ated to l ocal area (L AN) and wi de area (WAN) network addresses.
Overwhelmed by networking ac rony ms an d jargon? A glossa ry at the back of this guide explains most of the technical terms that you’re likely to encounter. Understanding the basics, such as DHCP, NAT, DNS , and fire­walls will allow you to take advantage of your router’s advanced features to optimize your LAN while keepin g int r ud e rs out.

The Easy Setup program permanentl y resides inside your router, allowing you to configure it through a web browser on any p latform – Windows, Macintosh, or Unix.
If you are configuring your router in Windows, you have the option of installing the Speed Touch™ Office Manager Tools from the Installation CD. These tools include a popular WAN Port Monitor application, a Con­figuration Man ager for add ing or chan ging feat ures, and Boo tP and TFTP utilities.
Port Monitor Utility for Windows platform
You can set up advanced features l ike Firewall by using CLI comm ands during a Telnet session. All commands are documented in the CLI refer­ence manual that is located on th e Insta llatio n CD. The CLI window can be accessed via the console po rt or via a Telnet session to 192.16 8.254.254, the default router a ddress.

Other Useful Information
Now that you have succeede d in conf igu rin g your rou ter f or a basic ADSL connection, you may want to consider customizing its functions. When you start to customize your router, you will probably have a lot of questions about how to program certain changes or how to troubleshoot any less than optimal operation on your LAN. The information that is provided in subse­quent sections of this guide will hopefully expedite any customization or troubleshooting that you attempt now or in the future.

Router FAQs
Which cable do I use to connect a new LAN device to the router?
If you are directly connecting your PC to the router’s built-in Ethernet hub, then use the straight-through (red label) cable. If you are connecting your router to another hub, then use the crossover (yellow label) cable, unless the LAN hub has a built-in cross ove r or up link port, in which case you should use the straight-through (red label) cable.
What is the router password?
Your ro uter comes wit h the default pa ssword you change the default password to your own password. If your NSP changed the passwor d during installation, you will need to call them fo r assistance.
Why can’t I get a connection on my PC to run the software?
Check your cables. Make sure that your Ethernet adapter has a green light. If not, switch fr om a straight-through to a crossover cable or vice v ersa. The router has a default Ethernet IP address of 192.168.254.254/
255.255.255.0. Your PC or Mac’s Ethernet IP address must be on the same subnet as the router’ s, e .g ., 192 .1 68.2 54 .x . Try setting your PC’s IP addr ess to 192.168.254.253. In Windows, you can do this by clicking on Start, Run, entering “winipcfg”, and then clicking OK. The IP Configurat ion window will appear on your screen and you can enter a new IP address.

What kind of security options do I have?
NAT (Network Address Translation) with “IP masquerading” can provide a level of “security by obscurity” that is accepta ble to many users. It can block incoming connections to LAN workstations by hiding them be hind the router’s single IP address. However, a determined hacker can probably manage to gain access to your LAN services behind NAT.
To boost your LAN security, consider enabling your router’s built-in Fire­wall (IP Filtering) software. You must customize or use predefined scripts for a "quick" firewall. However, Alcatel does not assume liability for any security breaches due to a poorly configure d firewall, hence, your ro uter ’s firewall should alway s be configured by a quali fied technical pers on.
For secure connections across the Internet, consider purchasing the VPN (Virtu al Priv ate Net work ) soft ware o pt ion . Ad di tion a l in for matio n on NAT, Firewall or Secure VPN functionality may be found in the CLI reference manual.
Can I have a Web, Mail, or FTP server and use NAT?
All you have to do is access the CLI through a console port connection and enter the system addS erver or remote addServer com mand to add a server to your LAN that will be visible on the Internet. The system command applies to all external traffic and the remote command applies to only one remote route.
23
Page 26
What is MER?
MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing) allows your router to route on the LAN side and bridge on the WAN sid e. MER is only needed when your NSP doesn’t support routing. MER adds NAT functionality, providing greater security and more IP addresses than your NSP provided for your LAN workstations.
Can I connect the router to a 100Base-T hub?
Yes, if the hub has a 10/100 switch. You need to set the switch to 10 for your router connection.
Nothing happens when I enter a web ad dress in my browser’s URL – what’s wrong?
Try pinging the address. If you’re run ning Windows, go to the MS-DOS prompt and type ping (web IP address) and press return. If you get a response, then you r DNS is probably n ot working properly. Contact your NSP for DNS assistance.
If you don’t get a response, veri fy that the r outer Link and Ethernet card LEDs are green. Next check you r cable conn ections. If everything appe ars correct, run winipcfg (or ipconfig if Windows NT) to make sure that the Gateway and LAN IP addresses match. If not, obta in an IP address again with winipcfg, then select Release All and Renew All. If you still can’t connect with the web address, t ry pinging the WAN gateway address to confirm that your route r is able to connect with the NSP.

You will notice a pattern in the logical links in that 2 nodes with a direct, private connection have the same “subnet” number. In contrast, a public node such as a DNS might have any subnet number.

A "mask" added to the router's Ethernet IP address can provide a unique, but non-routable IP address for each device on the LAN. All outgoing traffic appears to originate from the router's IP address.
