2. Installation

2.1 Preparing your computer to setup your Conceptronic Broadband router

Please setup your network as shown in the setup diagram below

Connect the UTP network cable from your computer to the Conceptronic C100BRS4H

Before you can configure your broadband router to use with for instance your Internet provider you have to connect the power supply to the wall-outlet and insert the power plug into the broadband router. After a few seconds the LEDS of the broadband router will turn green.

Before you can configure your broadband router through the web browser interface you have to setup your network computer into the same network IP subnet range as the broadband router.

The Conceptronic C100BRS4 access point works with: IP address: 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Conceptronic delivers the broadband router with DHCP server enabled. This means that every computer will get an IP address in the range of the broadband router when the computer is connected to the LAN port of the broadband router. You can skip this section of the manual when your computers are used as DHCP clients already.

NOTE: please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available in your network. If there is another DHCP server on your network, you will need to switch one of the DHCP servers off.

If your computer is working in an existing network environment please write-down the settings before altering them. Once you have configured your Conceptronic C100BRS4H you can undo these steps.
