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 etc.
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 reset 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)

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.
2a) Windows 95/98/Me
1: Click the Start button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window will appear.
2: Double-click Network icon. The Network window will appea r.
3: Check your list of Network Components. If TCP/IP is not installed, click the Add button to
install it now. If TCP/IP is installed, go to step 6.
4: In the Network Component Type dialog box, select Protocol and click Add button.
5: In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, select Microsoft and TCP/IP and then click the
OK button to start installing the TCP/IP protocol. You may need your Windows CD to
complete the installation.
6: After installing TCP/IP, go back to the Network dialog box. Select TCP/IP from the list of
Network Components and then click the Properties button.
7: Check each of the tabs and verify the following settings:
•Bindings: Check Client for Microsoft Networks and File and printer sharing for
Microsoft Networks.
• IP Address: Select Obtain IP address automatically.
8
8: Reboot the PC. 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

automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically as shown on the following
screen.
9
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 Start button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window will appear.

5: In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, select Obtain an IP address
10
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 Start button and select Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window will appear.
2: Double-click Network icon. The Network window will appear. Select the Protocol tab from

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.
12
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>
5) The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password” and then click
<OK> to login.
Note: By default the user name is “admin” and the password is “1234”. For security
reasons it is recommended that you change the password as soon as possible (in
General setup/system/password, see chapter 2)
6) The HOME page screen below will appear. The Home Page is divided into four sections,
Quick Setup Wizard, General Setup, Status Information and Tools.
Quick Setup Wizard (Chapter 1)
If you only want to start using the broadband router as an Internet Access device then you
ONLY need to configure the screens in the Quick Setup Wizard section.
General Setup (Chapter 2)
If you want to use more advanced features that the broadband router has to offer, then you’ll
need to configure the Quick Setup Wizard and the General Setup section. Alternatively, you
13
can just configure the General Setup section, since the General Setup/WAN and the Quick
Setup Wizard contain the same configurations.
Status Information(Chapter 3)
The Status Information section is for you to monitor the router’s current status information
only.
Tools (Chapter 4)
If you want to Reset the router (because of problems) or save your configurations or upgrade
the firmware then the Tools section is the place to do this.
Menu Description
Quick Setup Wizard (Chapter 1) Select your Internet connection type and then
input the configurations needed to connect to
your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
General Setup (Chapter 2)
This section contains configurations for the
Broadband router’s advance functions such as:
Address Mapping, Virtual Server, Access
14
Control, Hacker Attack Prevention, DMZ,
Special applications and other functions to meet
your LAN requirements.
Status Information (Chapter 3)In this section you can see the Broadband
router's system information, Internet Connection,
Device Status, Security Log and DHCP client
Log information.
Tools (Chapter 4)
This section contains the broadband router’s
