2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
1. Decide where to place your Wireless Broadband Router:
You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk or other secure surface, or you can mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband Router in the center of your office (or your home) in a location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven. This location must be close to power and a network connection.

2. Setup LAN connection:
a. Wired LAN connection: connect an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet
port to one of the LAN ports of the DI-713.
b. Wireless LAN connection: make sure the antennas are in a vertical position (if not,
rotate over 90 degrees).
3. Setup WAN connection: prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the DI-713 to your
cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure 2-3 illustrates the WAN connection.

4. Power on:
Connect the power cord to a power outlet and turn the power switch to the on position; the DI-713 will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self­test phase, the indicators M1 and M2 will be lit for about 10 seconds, and then M1 and M2 will flash 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1 will continuously flash once per second to indicate that the DI-713 is in normal operation.

Chapter 3 Network Settings
To use the DI-713 correctly, you must properly configure the network settings of your computers.
3.1 Make Correct Network Settings to the Computer
The default IP address of the DI-713 is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed to meet your need, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix B to configure it. For example,
1. configure IP as 192.168.0.5, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as
192.168.0.1, or,
2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server built into the DI-713.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the DI-713. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms. First, execute the ping command from a DOS window
ping 192.168.0.1
If the following messages appear:
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the DI-713 has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the following messages,
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there must be something wrong with the installation. Follow the steps again to make sure the network settings are correct. You should check the following items in sequence.
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the DI-713 and your computer?
Tip: The LAN LED of the DI-713 and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip: If the IP address of the DI-713 is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.0.X and default gateway must be 192.168.0.1.

Chapter 4 Configuring the DI-713
The DI-713 provides a Web based configuration scheme, that is, configuring by Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer. This approach can be adopted in any MS Windows, Macintosh or UNIX based platforms a Java compliant browser.
4.1 Start-up and Log in
Activate your browser. Then, type the DI-713’ s IP address in the Location (for Netscape) or Address (for IE) field and press ENTER. For example: http://192.168.0.1.
After the connection is established, you will see the web user interface of the DI-713. There are two appearances of web user interface: for general users and for system administrator.
To log in as an administrator, enter the system password (the factory setting is ”admin”) in the System Password field and click on the Log in button. If the password is correct, the web appearance will be changed into administrator configure mode. As listed in its main menu, there are several options for system administration.

4.2 Status
This option provides observation of the DI-713’ s configuration status. If the WAN port is assigned a dynamic IP address, a “Renew” or “ Release” button may appear. You can click this button to manually renew or release the IP. This screen also provides the Firmware Version and MAC Address information. Pressing the Refresh button will update the Device Information screen to show the current status.

4.3 Toolbox
This option enables you to change the administrator password, view log information, reboot the DI-713, clone the MAC Address, reset to default settings, and perform a firmware upgrade.
Note: we strongly recommend you to change the system password for security reasons. If you forgot the system password, please refer to Appendix A to reset a new one.
