2. Your CPE at a glance
Your CPE has many ports, switches and LEDs. Let’s take a look at the different options. Depending upon
your model of CPE, your CPE may have some or all of the features listed below
2.1 Ports and buttons (Back panel)
Power is where you connect the power.
LAN 1~4 (local area network) port: connect to Ethernet network devices, such as a PC, hub,
switch, or router. Some CPEs come with a single LAN connection and some come with four
LAN connections. Depending on the connection, you may need a cross over cable or a strait
through cable.
Reset Button: The reset button is used to reset the CPE to default setting. You may need to
reset the CPE if you loose network connectivity or you loose the ability to interface to the CPE
via the web interface. To reset the CPE, simply press the reset button for about 5-10 seconds
and release. After about 30 seconds the CPE will become operational.
DSL (Line) port: This is the WAN interface that connects directly to your phone line.
2.2 LED description (Front panel)
Power LED:
Status LED: The Status LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the DSL
interface is successfully connected to a device through the WAN port. If the LED is flickering,
it is an indication that the modem is training.
Activity LED: The Activity LED flash during ADSL data transfer.
LAN 1~4 LED: The LAN’s LED serves two purposes. If the LED is continuously lit, the
Ethernet interface is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is
flickering, it is an indication of any network activity.
WLAN LED: The Wireless LAN’s LED. This LED is continuously lit due to power up and
flickering if any Wireless network activity in device.
On indicates that the power is supplied to the CPE

3. Getting Start
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the CPE to a computer or a LAN and to the Internet
via ADSL.
Part 1 provides instructions to set up the hardware.
Part 2 describes how to configure Internet properties on your computer(s).
Part 3 shows you how to access your CPE.
It is assumed that you have already subscribed to ADSL service with your telephone company or other
Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible
with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration
instructions.
3.1 Connecting the Hardware
In 3.1, you should connect the device to an ADSL line, the power outlet, and your computer or network.
3.1.1 Connect the ADSL line
Connect your ADSL line to the port labeled LINE on the rear panel of the device, and connect the other end
of the line to the wall phone jack directly or to an optional POTS splitter. If you use a POTS splitter to
connect a telephone to the same wall jack as the CPE, follow the instructions that came with the splitter.
3.1.2 Connect the computers or a LAN
You can use the included Ethernet cable to connect your computer directly to the CPE. Attach one end of the
Ethernet cable to the port labeled LAN on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to the Ethernet
port of your computer.
If your LAN has more than one computer, you can attach one end of an Ethernet cable to a hub or a switch and
the other to the port labeled LAN on the CPE.
Note that either a crossover or a straight-through Ethernet cable can be used. The CPE determines and adjusts to
the type of signal required.
3.1.3 Attach the power adapter
Connect the cylindrical power plug into the POWER connector on the back of the device.
3.1.4 Turn on your computer
Turn on and boot up your computer and any other LAN devices, such as hubs or switches.

4. Setting up your CPE
This section will guide you through your CPE’s configuration. The CPE is shipped with a standard default
bridge configuration; for most users, you may want to change the CPE from a bridge to a router.
4.1 Log into your CPE
To configure your CPE, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point; this is normal.
Don’t panic. Continue following these directions. Type the default IP address (
Enter key and the following screen, shown in Figure 1 will appear. The default user name is Admin (case
sensitive) and the password is Admin (case sensitive).
Note: Before setting up your CPE, make sure you have followed the quick start guide. You should have
your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on your browser. Also if you access
the router, and instead of getting a login screen, the browser instead displays a login redirection screen, you
should check your browser's setting, and verify that JavaScript support is enabled. Also, if you do not get
the screen shown in Figure 1, you may need to delete your temporary Internet files (basically flush the
cached web pages).

4.2 Home screen
The first screen (Figure 2) that appears (after the log in screen) is the Home screen. From this screen the
user can setup the modem (configure the LAN and WAN connection(s), configure the advanced
configuration options within the modem (security, routing, and filtering), access tools that are helpful for
debug purposes, obtain the status of the modem, and view the extensive online help.
The basic layout of the Home page consists of a page selection list across the top of the browser window.
The footer displays CPE status, connection information, and other useful information. The center display is
where most of the configuration will take place.
