1.1 Safety Precautions
Refer to the following instructions to prevent the device from risks and damage caused by fire or
electric power:
Use volume labels to mark the type of power.

3. Hardware Installation
Connect the included antenna to the antenna connection [A] on the back of the modem router.
Connect the power supply to the power connection [D] on the back of the modem router and to
an available wall socket.
Press the power [G] button on the back of the modem router.
The power LED on the front of the modem router will light up and the modem router will perform a
system startup.
3.1 DSL (Telephone) port
Most ADSL providers require a splitter between your phone line and the ADSL modem that prevents
the ADSL line from interfering with regular telephone services. Not using such a splitter could lead
to connection problems or bad performance.
Note: The C150APRA2 is not delivered with a splitter for the ADSL connection. Please contact your
telephone or internet provider for the correct ADSL splitter.
The connection ports of an ADSL splitter are typically labelled as following:
Line : This port connects to the wall jack
ADSL : This port connects to the router
Phone : This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device
Make sure the lines are properly connected. If you are unable to hear a dial tone with the
telephone, check the connections to make sure the cables are securely attached and connected to
the correct port.
Use a telephone cable to connect the Conceptronic wireless ADSL modem router (B) to your local
analog telephone line (or splitter). The ADSL led will light up when an ADSL signal has been
detected.
Note: If the ADSL LED on the front does not lit up, make sure that:
- The wireless ADSL modem router is powered on (the power LED should burn).
- There is an ADSL signal on the line.
- The Internet LED will only be green when correct DSL and user account settings are
applied into the Web Interface of the ADSL modem router.
3.2 LAN port(s)
Connect the network (LAN) cable to 1 of the 4 LAN ports on the back panel of the wireless ADSL
modem routerand to the network card of your computer.
The LAN LED of the used LAN port will lit up, indicating that the computer is connected. (Your
computer must be switched on and the LAN connection must be enabled).

4. Configuring the computer
4.1 Configure your IP address
The C150APRA2 is equipped with a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP server will automatically assign
an IP address to each connected computer if the connected computer is set to ―Obtain an IP
address automatically‖.
By default most computers are configured to automatically obtain an IP address. When this is not
the case, you will need to configure your computer to obtain an IP address automatically by
following the instructions below. These instructions are based on Windows Vista with Service Pack
1. If your computer has a different version or operaring system, the steps required might be
different.
A. Click ―Start‖ ―Run‖.
B. Enter the command ―NCPA.CPL‖
and press ―OK‖.
The ―Network Connections‖ window will appear.
C. Right click your ―Local Area Connection‖
(wired or wireless, depending on the
connection you use) and select
―Properties‖.

4.2 Checking your connection
With the Command Prompt of Windows you can verify if you have received a correct IP address on
your (wired or wireless) Local Area Connection. This example is based on Windows Vista with
Service Pack 1. Windows Vista needs administrative rights to perform the steps below. There is an
explanation on how to gain administrative rights.
A. Click ―Start‖ ―All programs‖ ―Accessories‖, right click ―Command Prompt‖ and select
―Run as administrator‖. You might get a warning message, which you need to accept by
clicking ―Continue‖.
The Command Prompt will appear. Make sure the Command Prompt title bar mentions
―Administrator: Command Prompt‖. When ―Administrator‖ is not mentioned, you do not have the
needed administrative rights for these steps and you will need to perform step A again.
B. Enter the command ―IPCONFIG‖ and press ENTER.
You should see the following information
IPv4 Address : 192.168.0.xxx (Where xxx can vary between 100 ~ 199).
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.0.1
If the information shown above matches your configuration you can continue the configuration of
the device in Chapter 5.
If the information shown above does not match your configuration (i.e. your IP address is
169.254.xxx.xxx) please check the options below:
1. Power off and power on the device.
2. Reconnect the LAN cable to the device and to your computer.
3. Renew the IP address of your computer with the following commands:
- ―IPCONFIG /RELEASE‖ to release the incorrect IP address.
- ―IPCONFIG /RENEW‖ to receive a new IP address from the device.
B
CONCEPTRONIC C150APRA2 ENGLISH
12
If above steps do not solve the IP address problem, you can reset the device to the factory default
settings with the Reset button on the back of the device.
Press and hold the Reset button for +/- 15 seconds to load the factory default settings. When the
Status LED is active again, repeat step B to renew your IP address.
Note: If the problem remains, check if all cables are connected correctly. The ADSL port should be
connected to the ADSL line and the LAN port to the computer.
