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.

LED Light Status 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.

sharing for Micr osoft Networks.

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

2b) Windows XP

1. Click the Sta rt button and select Settings, then click Network

Connections. The Network Connections window will appear.

2. Double-click Local Area Connection icon. The Local Area Connection window will appear.

4. 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.

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.

2. Double-click Network icon. The Network window will appear. Select the Protocol tab from the Network window.

4. In the Select Network Protocol window, select the TCP/IP Protocol and click the Ok button to start installing the TCP/IP protocol. You may need your Windows CD to complete the installation.

5. After you install TCP/IP, go back to the Network window. Select TCP/IP from the list of Network Protocols and then click the Properties

button.

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>

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 “

For security reasons it is recommended that you change the password as soon as possible (in General setup/ system/password, see chapter 2)

The Firmware upgrade tool allows you to upgrade your Broadband router's firmware. The RESET tool allows you to reset your Broadband router.

7) Click on Quick Setup Wizard (see chapter 1) to start configuring settings required by your ISP so that you can start accessing the Internet. The other sections (General Setup, Status Information and Tools) do not need to be configured unless you wish to implement/monitor more advance features/information. Select the section (Quick Setup Wizard, General Setup, Status Information and Tools) you wish to configure and proceed to the corresponding chapter. Use the selections on the web management’s top right hand page (see below) to navigate around the web-based management User Interface.

Quick Setup

The Quick Setup section is designed to get you using the broadband router as quickly as possible. In the Quick Setup you are required to fill in only the information necessary to access the Internet. Once you click on the Quick

Setup Wizard in the HOME page, you should see the screen below. Step 1) Time Zone

The Time Zone allows your router to base its time on the settings configured here, this will affect functions such as Log entries and Firewall settings.

Chapter 1

Parameter Description Set Time Zone Select the time zone of the country you are

currently in. The router will set its time based on your selection.

Time Server Address You can manually assign time server
