: Power connector.

Connecting the AT Home Router

1 Connecting to the WAN port.

Connect the Ethernet cable with your xDSL/cable modem to the 10Base-T Ethernet WAN port on your Broadband Home Router.

Getting started

Note

1. The attached xDSL/cable modem must provide a standard 10Base-T Ethernet connection. Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any other standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable.

2. The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your xDSL/cable modem may be an Ethernet crossover cable rather than a straight-through cable. It is important to use the cable provided by your ISP to connect the modem to your Broadband Home Router.

2 Connecting to the LAN port L2/L3/L4.

Attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of your Broadband Home Router.

The Broadband Home Router incorporates a four-port switch for connection to your local Ethernet network. The Ethernet ports are capable of operation at either 10Mbps (10Base-T) or 100Mbps (100Base-Tx), depending on the Ethernet interface of the attached PC, hub or switch. For any connection which will operate at 100 Mbps, you must use a category 5 rated cable, such as the Ethernet cable included with the Broadband Home Router.

3 Preparing your wireless station.

You need to check the setting of wireless client stations to match the default settings of the Broadband Home Router.

Note

1. The IP address of your wireless client station must be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to

192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

2. The SSID default value is IEEE802.11 LAN

3. WEP encryption is disabled.

4 Connecting the power adapter.

Connect the supplied power adapter to the 12VDC port of your Broadband Home Router, and the other end to a power outlet.

LAN Connection Example

To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be connected to the LAN port (connected directly or through an external hub/switch to the LAN port of the device). The configuration can also be performed on a wireless client station (as Network 2 on Connection Figure 2).

On Ethernet Client

To access the Broadband Home Router via the Ethernet interface, the host computer must install TCP/IP protocol:

Step 1 Choose a client PC and set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the

gateway as 192.168.0.1 to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router,

whose default IP address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 2 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

LAN Connection Example

Step 3 Select the connection type (Bridge, Obtain an IP address automatically, PPPoE or

Specify an IP address) which gets the WAN IP address and dials up to the ISP. You

should choose the type according to the device that the WAN port connects to.

When the connection is established the client PCs can access the Internet or the LAN.

Note

1. The Broadband Home Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.0.1

and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. As the DHCP server is Enabled by default, the Broadband Home Router can assign an IP address to the host PC for initial configuration. That means, if the host PC sets its TCP/IP to obtain an IP address automatically, this DHCP client should be able to get an IP address and access the Broadband Home Router.

2. If you select ‘Bridge’ as the WAN connection type, the Broadband Home Router will

act as a two-port Ethernet bridge device .

On Wireless Client

Step 1 Install the wireless card driver and configure the SSID setting on the client

computer to the default SSID: IEEE802.11 LAN.

Step 2 Check that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your wireless client PC. (Refer to

“TCP/IP Configuration” section.)

Step 3 Set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the gateway as 192.168.0.1

to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router, whose default IP

address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 4 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

Step 5 If necessary, you could change the SSID from the web page: Advanced>wireless

(refer to Wireless Setting section).

Note

Getting started

Step 6 If you change SSID in step 5, all wireless client stations must use the same SSID as

the Broadband Home Router.

Step 7 Then click Apply.

Step 8 Execute Save and Restart.

If you have multiple PCs on the LAN, you may enable DHCP server function. The Broadband Home Router implements a built-in DHCP server, which assigns IP addresses to the clients PCs on the LAN .For detailed settings please refer to the DHCP setting under LAN Setting section.

For the wireless-interfaced station, you need to set its SSID to the Broadband Home Router’s default SSID value and disable the WEP encryption.

xDSL/Cable Modem Connection

The Broadband Home Router provides continuous and high-speed access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. In addition, it can connect your entire network to the Internet through an external broadband access device (such as DSL modem or cable modem shown as Network 1 in the figure below).

Note

1. The attached xDSL/cable modem must provide a standard 10Base-T Ethernet connection. Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any other standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable.

Connecting to Your xDSL Modem

If you are going to connect the WAN port to a DSL modem, follow the steps below:

HOW to setup:

1. Use the Ethernet cable comes with your DSL modem. Plug one end to the 10Base-T

Ethernet port of the modem, and the other end to the WAN port on your Broadband Home Router (shown as Network 1 in the figure below).

2. Attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of your Broadband Home Router, and the other end to a hub or a client PC (shown as Network 2 in the figure below).

3. At the LAN side, you also can use wireless client at the same time (please refer to “LAN Connection ” section).

4. Set the DSL Modem’s connection mode as bridge mode.

5. Enter the web-based Configuration Manager to configure the WAN setting. Choose the

connection type that you registered from your ISP (refer to “Easy Setting” section).
