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) Antenna There is a 2dBi dipole antenna.
1) Local Area N etwork (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)

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
