Preface
Preface
Thank you for choosing the Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Router. With the
asymmetric technology, this device runs over standard copper phone lines. In addition, ADSL allows
you to have both voice and data services in use simultaneously all over one phone line.
RTA1030W Wireless ADSL2+ Router is a DSL broadband access device which allows ADSL
connectivity while providing 802.11g wireless LAN capabilities for home or office users. It
supports ADSL2/ADSL2+ and is backward compatible to ADSL, even offers auto -negotiation
capability for different flavors (G.dmt, G.lite, or T1.413 Issue 2) according to central office
DSLAM’s settings (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer). Also the feature-rich routing
functions are seamlessly integrated to ADSL service for existing corporate or home users. Now users
can enjoy various bandwidth-consuming applications via RTA1030W Wireless ADSL2+ Router.

Subscription for ADSL Service
To use the ADSL Router, you have to subscribe for ADSL service from your broadband service
provider. According to the service type you subscribe, you will get various IP addresses:
Dynamic IP: If you apply for dial-up connection, you will be given an Internet account with
username and password. You will get a dynamic IP by dialing up to your ISP.
Static IP address: If you apply for full-time connectivity, you may get either one static IP address
or a range of IP addresses from your ISP. The number of IP addresses varies according to different
ADSL service provider.

Chapter 2: System Requirement and
Installation
System Requirement
To access the ADSL Router via Ethernet, the host computer must meet the following requirements:
With Ethernet network interface.
Must have TCP/IP installed.
Set client PC with obtain an IP address automatically or set fix IP address.
With a web browser installed: Internet Explorer 5.x or later.
The ADSL Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. As the DHCP server is Enable by default, The DHCP clients should
be able to access the ADSL Router. Or you could assign an IP address to the host PC first for initial
configuration.
You also can manage the ADSL Router through a web browser-based manager: ADSL ROUTER CONTROL PANEL. The ADSL Router manager uses the HTTP protocol via a web browser to
allow you to set up and manage the device.
To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be
connected to the network (either connected directly or through an external hub/switch
to the LAN port of the device).
