Connector Pin-out

The GS-R250S ADSL Router is equipped with a RJ-11 jack for connection to the ADSL data port. The center two pins, pins 3 and 4, are used for ADSL data. For the router to make a proper ADSL connection, the installed ADSL data port should also use pins 3 and 4 for data. If the ADSL data port installation uses pins 2 and 5 for data, then a wiring converter will be required. Do not alter or remove the wiring converter if present. Consult with your ADSL provider before attempting any wiring changes.

Installing and Configuring your ADSL Router

The major functions of the ADSL Router are performed by using the Ethernet network interface. Your computer must have an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and set up with the TCP/IP protocol before beginning to use the router. The router also provides a serial console port for monitoring and configuring the router via the built-in command line interface. This will be covered largely in the rest of this manual.

Preparation

Before beginning the hardware installation, please gather the following materials for the setup you will be using.

You will need to know the Internet Protocol supported by your ADSL provider to successfully connect to the Internet. For future troubleshooting or reinstallation, it is important that you retain these details. Please turn

to page 44 of this manual to record your connection information in the space we have provided for you.

Setup 1 - Connecting directly to one computer

• ADSL service, provided by your ISP/NSP. Also have your connection information ready.

• Computer running a supported operating system, with a Ethernet NIC installed.

• TCP/IP protocol installed for your NIC (See the TCP/IP Configuration section).

• RJ-45 Ethernet cable *

• RJ-45 Ethernet cross connector *

• RJ-11 ADSL cable *

• RS-232 serial cable * (Only used if configuring via command line)

• Power adapter * *Included in package

Proceed to Page 10

Setup 2 - Connecting to multiple computers - You will need all the above listed items plus the following:

• Additional computer(s) running a supported operating system with an Ethernet NIC installed

• Additional RJ-45 Ethernet cable (one for each additional computer).

• One Ethernet hub supporting the number of computers you will be connecting

• RJ-45 Ethernet cross connector *. Only required if your hub’s uplink port does not have a cascade switch. *Included in package

Proceed to Page 12

Be sure the power switch, marked ON/OFF, on the rear of the unit is depressed, in the OFF position.

Connect the power adapter to the power receptacle on the rear of the unit marked PWR, then plug the AC end into the wall electrical outlet.

You will now connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable. Connect one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet straight connect cable to the Ethernet jack on the NIC in the back of your computer.

Hardware Installation - Single Computer Connection

Then connect the other end to the RJ-45 cross connector supplied in the package.

Then connect the cable, with the RJ-45 cross connector attached, to the connector marked Ethernet on the back of the router.

Connect one end of the RJ-11 ADSL cable to the ADSL line jack, marked Line, on the rear of the router. Then connect the other end to the ADSL line outlet that your ADSL service provider has installed.

NOTE: Step 7 and Step 8 are optional. Proceed with

these steps only if you will be configuring ther router using command line. Otherwise, skip to Step 9.

Connect the male (9-pin) end of the RS-232 serial cable to the connector marked RS-232 on the rear of the router.

Then plug the other end of the RS-232 cable into the serial port of your computer.

Turn the power on by pressing the power switch, marked ON/OFF on the rear of the unit. The router will perform a self-test and then will be ready for use.
