Introduction

Note

The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not using it. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time used.

Get to know the Broadband Router Back Panel

The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset:

Figure 1.0

1) Local Area Network (LAN) The Broadband router’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s

PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches et c.

2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the Internet.

3) Reset

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.

1) If problems occur with your router, press the router’s rese t button

with a pencil tip (for less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.

2) If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot

your password, press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings)

Front Panel

On the router’s front panel there are LED lights that inform you of the router’s current status. Below is an explanation of each LED and its description.

Setup Diagram

Figure 1.2 below shows a typical setup for a Local Area Network (LAN).

Figure 1.2

Getting started

This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet.

1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).

2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already configured your PC to obtain an IP automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11)

Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically

By default the broadband router’s DHCP is on, this means that you can obtain an IP address automatically once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show you how to configure your PC’s so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The following is a step-by-step illustration on how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for 2a)

Windows 95/98/Me, 2b) Windows XP, 2c) Windows 2000 and 2d) Windows NT.

as shown on the following screen.

5. Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server.

Note:Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the

only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3

2c) Windows 2000

1. Click the Sta rt button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The

Control Panel window will appear.

2. Double-click Network and Dial-up Connections icon. In the Network and Dial-up Connection window, double-click Local Area Connection icon. The Local Area Connection window will appear.

3. In the Local Area Connection window, click the Properties button.

4. Check your list of Network Components. You should see Internet

Protocol [TCP/IP] on your list. Select it and click the Properties button.

5. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically

as shown on the following screen.

6. Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server.

Note:Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the

only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3.

2d) Windows NT

1. Click the Sta rt button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The

Control Panel window will appear.

6. Check each of the tabs and verify the following settings:

• IP Address: Select Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

• DNS: Let all fields are blank.

• WINS: Let all fields are blank.

• Routing: Let all fields are blank.

7. Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server.

Note:Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3.

3) Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically, the router’s DHCP server will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. By default the Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have obtained an IP address, see Appendix A.

Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is

the only DHCP server available on your LAN. If there is another DHCP on your network, then you’ll need to switch one of the DHCP servers off. (To disable the Broadband router’s DHCP server see chapter 2 LAN Port)

4) Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default IP address 192.168.2.1 (broadband router’s IP address) into your PC’s web browser and press <enter>
