Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AT -AR256E 4-Port ADSL Router! The AT-AR256E
allows you to share your ADSL connection with multiple computers using just a
single device. With ADSL services, you can enjoy high speed broadband connection
to the Internet, online gaming and corporate network while making phone calls using
your existing telephone line.

The AT- AR256E can be connected to any computer with a Ethernet network card
installed. For multi-user sharing, you can connect your computers to the integral 4­port switch of the ADSL router or expand your network with a Ethernet hub or
switch. The auto MDI/MDI-X feature automatically senses straight and crossover
cables. You can plug any type of network cable in without worrying about
connectivity problems like in the past with older switches.

This document assumes that you have already installed a Ethernet network card on
your computer.

Minimum System Requirements

• Intel Pentium® MMX 233MHz

• Ethernet network card with TCP/IP stack installed

• OS independent (support for Microsoft Windows® only)

• Microsoft® Internet ExplorerTM 4.0 or Netscape® Navigator 3.02 installed
