Setup Diagram

Figure 1.2 below shows a typical setup for a Local Area Network (LAN).

Getting started

With the Setup CD

1) Insert the included Setup CD into your CD-Rom drive.

2) Select the Setup Wizard selection

3) Follow the steps accordingly until your setup is complete

Manually without the Setup CD (incase the CD does not work or is lost)

This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet. This section will detail the instructions for a manual connection.

1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).

2) You then need to set your Local Area Network (LAN) computers so that they can obtain an IP

address automatically from the router. 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 or Mac to obtain an IP automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11)

Configure your MAC to obtain an IP address automatically (PC Setup is below)

OS X 10.1 and up, older OS X versions may differ slightly:

• Open the System Preferences window by clicking on the Apple icon on the top left corner of your desktop and selecting the System Preferences link.

• In the System Preferences Window find the Network icon and select it.

• Locate your network adapter in the main field (AirPort or Built-in Ethernet etc..) and double click it.

• Select the TCP/IP tab and select “Using DHCP” from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu.

• Click on Renew DHCP Lease and click Apply Now.

• This procedure should set your Mac up with a new IP

address obtained di rectly from the Hawking WirelessG Router

Mac Fixed IP Configuration

• If your Mac is using a fixed IP Address (aka Manual IP Address), its IP Address must be within the range

192.168.1.1 to 192.168. 1.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of

192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask must be set to

255.255.255.0. To change your manually set IP Address on your computer, select the drop down menu

under “Configure IPv4” from the Network menu of your specific network adapter.

• Select Manually and enter the correct information in your IP Address fields.

• Ensure that your Computer and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.

MAC Address Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order

for you to connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC's MAC address that your ISP had originally connected your Internet connection to. Type in this MAC address in this section or use the "Clone MAC Address" button to

replace the WAN MAC address with the MAC address of that PC (you have to be using that PC for the Clone MAC Address button to work). To find out the PC's MAC address see Appendix A. (see Glossary for an explanation on MAC address)

Use the following IP address The ISP gives you a static IP to be used to connect to the L2TP server.

IP Address This is the IP address that your ISP has given you to

establish a L2TP connection.

IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter the ISP’s Gateway IP address above

MTU This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your

transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you to not wish to set a maximum packet size.

Connection Type If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect

If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only

when you click “Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not be disconnected due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP.

Idle Time Out 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. 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. Due to the many uncontrollable issues, we do not guarantee the WAN "idle timeout" auto-disconnect function will always work. In order to preve nt from extra fee charged by ISP, please TURN OFF THE ROUTER WHEN YOU FINISHED USING THE INTERNET .

Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have completed the configuration for the L2TP connection. You can start using the router now, if you wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
