2. Hardware Installation

Step 1. Connect the ADSL line

Connect the Line interface 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.

Step 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 (MDI/MDIX).

Note:

Use twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect the router to a hub or switch.

Step 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 5V 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 – No telephone before the splitter

Configuration 2

0 shows the correct connection when a telephone set is installed before the

splitter.

Figure 2 - Telephone set connected 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

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”.

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 has to been 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’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.), please follow the manual of the operating system.
