Figure 2-1 Computer to MT800 connection
2.2.3 Connecting Ethernet LAN to MT800
MT800 may be connected to any 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port.
When connecting MT800 to any Ethernet device that is capable of
operating at speeds higher than 10Mbps, be sure that the device has
auto-negotiation mode enabled for the connecting port.
Use cross-over cable to connect MT800 and the uplink port of a
switch or hub. Be sure that the cable connecting the LAN to MT800 is
not longer than 100 meters.
7
2.3 Powering On MT800
1) Use the provided power adapter and plug it into a suitable
power source nearby.
2) You should see the Power LED indicator light up, which
indicates the device is powered on.
3) After a few seconds, look at the LAN LINK indicator and
make sure it with steady light, which indicates a valid
connection between the router and your computer.

Chapter 3 Before Configuring
MT800
To configure MT800, you have to connect MT800 to a computer
as shown below. Use the provided straight-through cable.
(1)Computer (2)RJ-45 Ethernet Cable (3)MT800
Figure 3-1 Computer to MT800 connection
3.2 When to Configure the MT800
The factory default settings of MT800 have optimized all
functions, which made it can operate in most conditions of network.
Usually, for the users with simple network topology, the default
setting values can meet their basic requirements and need no
change.
9
If the conditions of network have been changed by the
modification of security, scale, line of communication, protocol and
topology, for example, a demand of particular VPI and VCI, you
should adjust accordingly the default settings to be able to adapt to
the changes.
3.3 Configuring IP Settings on Your Computer
The steps of configure the IP settings are as below.
1) Understand the default IP settings for MT800: IP address
(192.168.1.1), Subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
2) Make sure your computer has the TCP/IP protocol installed
and enabled.
If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably
z
already has TCP/IP protocol installed.
If you are using Windows XP, the TCP/IP is enabled by
z
default for standard installations.
3) Configure the IP address and Subnet mask of your
computer to make the computer set in the same subnet
with the MT800, for example, IP address:192.168.1.100,
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.
For computers running non-Windows operating systems,
follow the instructions for your OS to configure the IP setting to
occupy the same subnet as MT800.
3.4 Accessing the Web-based Configuration
Manager
Once the computer has IP settings that allow it to access the
Web-based configuration manager, you can change the factory
default settings to enable the MT800 to connect to the Internet.
10
3.4.1 Checking for Proxy Service
If the browser software on the computer is configured to use a
proxy server for Internet access, it is necessary to first disable the
proxy connection.
In Windows Internet Explorer, you can check whether a proxy
server is enabled using the following procedures:
1) In the Explorer Window, select and click on
ToolsÆÆÆÆInternet Options, and enter the Internet Options
window.
2) In the Internet Options window, click the Connections
tab and click on the LAN Settings button.
3) Verify that the “Use proxy server” option is NOT checked. If
it is checked, click in the checked box to deselect the
option and click OK.
3.4.2 Applying the LAN IP Address of MT800
To access the Web-based configuration manager, launch your
Web browser and enter the LAN IP address of the MT800. For the
first access, the default LAN IP address of the MT800 is used. Type
in “http://” followed by the default IP address, “192.168.1.1” in the
address bar of the browser. The URL in the address bar should read:
http://192.168.1.1.
3.4.3 Inputting the User Name and Password
A new window appears prompting you for a user name and
password needed to access the Web-based configuration manager.
11
Figure 3-2 Enter user name and password
Use the default user name: admin and password: admin for
first time setup. You can change the password once you have
opened the Web-based configuration manager. The user name and
password allows any computer on the same subnet as the MT800 to
access the Web-based configuration manger. And this password can
also be used to Telnet to the device through the Ethernet or Internet
interfaces. To change this password, see Chapter 4 Web-based
Management.
Note:
Do not confuse the user name and password used to access the Web-based
manager with the ADSL account and password needed for PPP connections to
access your ISP’s network.
12
Chapter 4 Web-based Management
This chapter describes how to use the web-based management
software to configure the MT800, which introduces the signification
of parameters and method of setting in the configuration interface.
