2. Hardware Installation
1. Connect the ADSL line.
Connect the line port of the router of the device to the modem interface of a
splitter using a telephone cable. Connect a telephone to the Phone interface
of the splitter using a telephone cable. Connect the Line interface of the
splitter to your existing, incoming line.
The splitter has three interfaces:
Line: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack).
Modem: Connect to the ADSL jack of the device.
Phone: Connect to a telephone set.
2. Connect the router to your LAN network.
Connect the LAN interface of the router to your PC, hub or switch using an
Ethernet cable.
Note:
Use twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect the router to a hub or
switch.
10
3. Connect the power adapter to the router.
Plug one end of the power adapter into a wall outlet and connect the other
end to the 12V interface of the device.
The following diagrams show how to correctly connect the router, PC,
splitter and the telephone sets under two different configurations:
Configuration 1
0 shows the correct connection of the router, PC, splitter and the telephone
sets, with no telephone set placed before the splitter.
Figure 1 –Connection diagram
(Without connecting telephone sets before the splitter)
11
Configuration 2
0 shows the correct connection when a telephone set is installed before the
splitter.
Figure 2 - Connection diagram
(Connecting a telephone set before the splitter)
Note:
When Configuration 2 is used, the filter must be installed close to the
telephone cable. Do not use the splitter to replace the filter.
Installing a telephone directly before the splitter may lead to failure of
connection between the device and the central office, or failure of Internet
access, or slow connection speed. If you really need to add a telephone set
before the splitter, you must add a micro filter before a telephone set. Do
not connect several telephones before the splitter or connect several
telephones with the micro filter.
4. Check the ADSL LED status.
Please check the ADSL LED on the front panel. This light indicates the status of
your ADSL broadband through your telephone line. If the light is on, you can
continue setup. However if the light is flashing, there is no broadband line
detected. Please call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and inform them
about the flashing ADSL light to resolve the issue.
12
5. Firewall settings.
Please turn off all personal firewalls before you continue the setup – firewalls
can block communication between your PC and router.
Note: You must use the power adapter included in the package with the
router, do NOT attempt to use a third-party power adapter.
6. PC LAN IP configuration.
Configure your PC’s LAN settings to automatically obtain an IP address from
the router by following the steps below:
1. Click “Start” and then select “Control Panel”.
2. Click “Switch to Classic View” in the top left to show additional setting
icons.
13
3. Locate the “Network Connections” icon and double-click to open
network connection settings.
4. Select the “Local Area Connection” icon and right-click it to open the
sub-menu, then select “Properties”.
14
5. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click “Properties”
6. Ensure that “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS
server address automatically” are selected and then press “OK”.

3. IP Address Setting
To use the router to access the Internet, the PCs in the network must have an
Ethernet adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or
through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC must be installed and
the IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router.
The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically
through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in
the same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is
enabled and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.2.100 to
192.168.2.200. It is strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address
automatically.
This section shows you how to configure your PC 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.), please follow the
manual of the operating system. The following is a step-by-step illustration of
