Quick Start
This Quick Start provides basic instructions for connecting the ROUTER to a computer or
LAN and to the Internet.
fPart 1 describes setting up the hardware.
fPart 2 describes how to configure Internet properties
on your computer(s) and how to install the software
for using a computer attached to the USB port.
fPart 3 shows you how to configure basic settings on
the ROUTER to get your LAN connected to the
Internet.
After setting up and configuring the device, you can follow the instructions on page 32 to
verify that it is working properly.
This Quick Start assumes that you have already established ADSL service with your 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.
Part 1 — Connecting the Hardware
In Part 1, you connect the device to the phone jack, the power outlet, and your computer
or network.
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices.
These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if

Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable.
If you are connecting a LAN to the ADSL/Ethernet router, attach one end of a provided Ethernet
cable to a regular hub port and the other to the Ethernet port on the ROUTER.
If you are using the ROUTER with a single computer and no hub, you must use a “crossover”
Ethernet cable (not provided) to attach the PC directly to the device. The crossover cable is wired
differently than the cable you would use to connect to a hub. When you compare the colored
wires on each end of a straight-through cable, they will be in the same sequence; on crossover
cables, they will not. Contact your ISP for assistance.
Step 3. Attach the power connector.
Connect the AC power adapter to the PWR connector on the back of the device and plug
in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
Step 4. Turn on the ROUTER and power up your systems.
Press the Power switch on the back panel of the device to the ON position.
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices such as hubs or switches.
Step 5: Install USB software and connect the USB cable.
You can attach a single computer to the device using a USB cable. The USB port is useful if
you have a USB-enabled PC that does not have a network interface card for attaching to
your Ethernet network.
Before attaching the USB cable, you must install a USB driver on your PC and configure the
computer. For complete instructions, see page 25.

Assigning static Internet information to your PCs
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information to some or all of your PCs
directly (often called “statically”), rather than allowing the ROUTER to assign it. This option
may be desirable (but not required) if:
fYou have obtained one or more public IP addresses
that you want to always associate with specific
computers (for example, if you are using a computer
as a public web server).
fYou maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets
are described in Appendix 0).
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand, or contact your ISP if
you do not know it:
fThe IP address and subnet mask to be assigned to
each PC to which you will be assigning static IP
information.
fThe IP address of the default gateway for your LAN.
In most cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN
port on the ROUTER . By default, the LAN port is
assigned this IP address: 192.168.1.1. (You can
change this number, or another number can be
assigned by your ISP. See Chapter 0 for more
information.)
fThe IP address of your ISP’s Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
On each PC to which you want to assign static information, follow the instructions on
pages 18 through 23 relating only to checking for and/or installing the IP protocol. Once it
is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying each of the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) properties. Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for the
computer, DNS server, and default gateway, click the radio buttons that enable you to
enter the information manually.
Note
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them in the same
subnet as the ROUTER ’s LAN port. If you manually assign IP
information to all your LAN PCs, you can follow the
instructions in Chapter 0 to change the LAN port IP address
accordingly.

Connecting a computer to the USB port
If you use the ROUTER’s USB port to connect to a PC, you must install the provided USB driver
software on the PC. The driver enables Ethernet-over-USB communication with the ROUTER .
Configuring the USB computer is a two-part process:
fIn Part 1, you install the USB driver on the PC.
fIn Part 2, you configure the IP properties on the USB
PC.
Part 1. Installing the USB Driver: Ensure that the USB cable is not connected to the USB
port on the PC. The installation program will prompt you when to connect the cable.
12. Copy the USB installation files to a temporary directory on
the USB computer.
13. In the folder where you copied the files, double-click on
setup.exe to start the DSL Modem Setup Wizard.

address to the USB PC. If you want to use this
automatic assignment feature, called “DHCP server,”
you must configure the USB PC to accept dynamically
assigned IP information. Follow the instruction on
pages 18 through 23 that correspond to the
operating system installed on your PC.
fIf you want to assign a static IP address to the PC,
follow the instructions on page 24 and use the
following information:
x In the Network and Dial-up Connections window,
be sure to select the icon that corresponds to
your new USB connection (not the one that
corresponds to your Ethernet NIC). When you
display properties for the icon, the following text
should display in the Connect Using text box:
GlobespanVirata USB IAD LAN Modem #n
The USB port on the ROUTER is preconfigurx ed
with these properties:
USB port IP address: 192.168.1.2
USB port subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Therefore, your PC must be configured as
follows:
IP address: 192.168.1.n where n
is a
number from 2 to
254.
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Part 3 — Configuring the ROUTER
In Part 3, you log into the program on the ROUTER and configure basic settings for your
Internet connection. Your ISP should provide you with the necessary information to
complete this step.
Logging In to the ROUTER Quick Configuration Page
The ROUTER provides a preinstalled software program called Configuration Manager which
enables you to configure the operation of the device via your Web browser. The settings
that you are most likely to need to change before using the device are grouped onto a
single Quick Configuration page.
Follow these instructions configure the device settings:
1. At any PC connected to the ROUTER via Ethernet or USB,
open your Web browser, and type the following URL in the
address/location box:
192.168.1.1/setup
When you press <Return>, the page shown in Figure 13
should display (see Appendix 0, “Troubleshooting,” if
you receive an error message or the page does not
display).

Select the ATM interface you want to use (usually atm-0).
Your system may be configured with more than one ATM
interface if you are using different types of services with
your ISP.
This setting enables or disables the ROUTER . When set to
“No”, the device cannot be used to provide Internet
connectivity for your network. Set it to “Enabled” now, if
necessary.
This setting determines the type of data link your ISP uses
to communicate with your ADSL/Ethernet router. Contact
them to determine the appropriate setting.
These values are provided by your ISP and determine the
unique path your connection uses to communicate with
your ISP.
This setting enables or disables bridging between the
ROUTER and your ISP. Your ISPs may also refer to this as
“RFC 1483” or “Ethernet over ATM”.
This setting enables or disables the Internet Gr oup
Management Protocol, which some ISPs use to perform
remote configuration of your device.
If your ISP has assigned a public IP address to your LAN,
enter the address and the associated subnet mask in the
boxes provided. (Note: in some configurations, the public
IP address should be entered on your PC rather than on
the ADSL/Ethernet router; check with your ISP.)
When enabled, this setting specifies that the IP address
specified above will be used as the default route for your
LAN. Whenever, one of your LAN computers attempts to
access the Internet, the data will be sent via the WAN
interface.
Specify the IP address that identifies the ISP server
through which your Internet connection will be routed.
PPP Settings
Enter the username and password you use to log in to
your ISP. (Note: this is not the same as the user name and
password you used to log in to Configuration Manager.)
Enable this feature if the DNS server addresses that your
LAN will use should be supplied dynamically each time
you connect to the ISP. If you click Disable, you must
configure DNS addresses manually on each PC or on the
fields below.
DNS Settings
Enter the Primary and Secondary Domain Name System
(DNS) server addresses provided by your ISP.
