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

Step 1: Connecting the ADSL Router to Your Computer
! Power OFF your computer and any other connected devices before connecting
to the ADSL Router!
1.1 Connecting To the Ethernet
Connect your computer to the ADSL router as illustrated below. The following
illustration shows the connection of a single computer.

Not Sure How The Ethernet Port Looks Like?
The following are some tips to help you locate the Ethernet port on your
computer. Alternatively, you may refer to the documentation that comes
with your computer.
Locating the Ethernet Port on Your Computer
Most computers have labels describing the ports. For Ethernet port,
you will see ETHERNET, ETH or RJ-45 labeled near the port. If
your computer does not have such descriptions, try the following:
- Picture A gives the illustration of a Ethernet port. All Ethernet ports have 8
conductors on it. Do not be mistaken with the LINE port (Picture B) that
has only 6 conductors.
- The Ethernet port is slightly bigger than the LINE port.
