The hardware installation is now complete.

2. Installing the Software

The TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs or notebooks that are to use the Internet. By

default, the IP address 192.168.1.1 and an activated DHCP server are configured for the router. That means that the connected PCs are automatically given appropriate addresses and other settings. We recommend using these. Select the TCP/IP setting Get IP address automatically for all PCs or notebooks connected to the router. You can then configure the router using the web browser. The browser must be Java-capable and the Java function must be activated (e.g. Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher, or Netscape 7.0 or higher, Opera 6.0, Firefox 1.0, etc.).

To start the configuration process, open your browser and enter 192.168.1.1 as the address. The login window is displayed.

The preset username is: admin password: admin

After making the entry, click OK. The Basic Setup DHCP window opens.

The router must now be configured for the corresponding ADSL protocols. Access via PPPoE (Germany), PPTP (Austria) and Static IP is described in the following pages. If you are not sure which ADSL protocol you must use, contact your Internet provider.

Access via PPPoE:

Instruction Manual for DR-20 DSL/Broadband Router

09.6.2005 Art. Nr. 00049079

Seite 3

Select the first option Get IP address automatically (PPPoE).

Leave the host name and domain name blank. You must specify your Internet provider.

Private IP Address: You can allocate your internal IP address range here. We recommend that

you do not change anything.

User Name: Your User name (that your Internet provider assigned you)

Password: Your password ISP: The name of your Internet provider e.g. T-Online

MTU: You can generally leave the standard 149, but certain Internet providers

require other values.

For example: T-Online = 1492

AOL = 1400 Freenet = 1454 1&1= 1492 Q-DSL= 1454 Arcor= 1488 Tiscali= 1492 (for DSL volumes) Tiscali= 1492 (for DSL flatrate)

Connect on demand: If you enable this option, the router automatically dials into the Internet as

soon as your browser or a program opens that attempts to connect to the Internet.

Disconnect when network idle: Enter the number of minutes after which the router should

disconnect the Internet connection when it is idle.

Important information for DSL users who are billed based on data volume:

Please keep in mind that there are many background programs that connect to the Internet despite your browser being closed and therefore the connection is not disconnected. Such background programs are for example, virus scanners, Windows Media Player, Windows Update and trojans. Therefore, so you are not surprised by an excessive Internet bill, switch off the router after you are finished using the Internet to be completely sure that no unwanted connections can occur.

Note T-Online users:

The user name consists of: the 12-digit connection ID, T-Online number (if this is shorter than 12 digits, you must complete it with the # symbol), 4-digit user number (e.g. 0001) and then @t-

online.de. Enter all components consecutively without spaces. The password is your T-Online access password.

Note for AOL customers:

The user name consists of your AOL name and @de.aol.com (Germany). For example:

J.Smith@de.aol.com
