Connecting your device
This chapter provides basic instructions for connecting the ADSL/VoIP Gateway to a computer or LAN and to the Internet.
In addition to configuring the device, you need to configure the Internet properties of your computer(s).. For more details, see the following sections:
Configuring Ethernet PCs on page 88
Configuring Wireless PCs on page 95
This chapter assumes that you have already established a DSL service with your Internet service provider (ISP). These instructions provide a basic configuration that should be compatible with your home or small office network setup. Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration instructions.
Connecting the Hardware
This section describes how to connect the device to the wall phone port, the power outlet and your computer(s) or network.
WARNING
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices. These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/switch (if applicable), and the ADSL/VoIP Gateway.
The diagram below illustrates the hardware connections. The layout of the ports on your device may vary from the layout shown. Refer to the steps that follow for specific instructions.

This button appears on every configuration page. Click on this button if at any time you decide that you do not want to change the existing settings.
This button appears on the final page of a series of configuration pages. Click on this button to confirm that you are happy with the changes that you have made and want to save them.
Radio buttons – these appear on many configuration pages. You will be asked to select one radio button from the selection of two or more available. You cannot select more than one radio button at a time.
The following terms are used throughout this guide in association with these buttons:
Click – point the mouse arrow over the button, menu entry or link on the screen and click the left mouse button. This performs an action, such as displaying a new page.
ADSL/VoIP Gateway User’s Guide
22
Select – usually used when describing which radio button to select from a list, or which entry to select from a drop-down list. Point the mouse arrow over the entry and left-click to select it. This does not perform an action – you will also be required to click on a button, menu entry or link in order to proceed.
Help information
In addition to these buttons, you will also see the information icon throughout the Web pages. The information icon is followed by a link (called a hyperlink) to another web page. Click on the hyperlink to display further information about a specific configuration setting. For example, at the Current Status page, clicking on the following hyperlink:
displays further information about the details displayed on the Current Status page.
If you want to display an index of the Help information available for all web pages, see Help on page 38.
Testing your Setup
Once you have connected your hardware and configured your PCs, any computer on your LAN should be able to use the device’s DSL connection to access the Internet.
To test the connection, turn on the device, wait for 30 seconds and then verify that the LEDs are illuminated as follows:
Table 1. LED Indicators
LED Behavior
Power
Solid red to indicate that the device is turned on. If this light is not on, check the power cable attachment.
Internet
Flashing on/off while data is being transferred. Solid red when a valid IP address has been assigned to the device by the ISP.
W-LAN
LINK/Act
Solid green to indicate that the Wireless LAN connection is operational.
LINK/Act LAN
Flashing on/off while the device is booting. After about 10­15 seconds, solid green to indicate that the device can communicate with your LAN.
LINK/Act DSL
Flashing on/off while data is being transmitted. Solid green to indicate that the device has successfully established a connection with your ISP.
LINK/Act DSL
Flashing when the device is sending or receiving data from the Internet. It may be unlit, flashing, or appear solid depending on the current activity.
If the LEDs illuminate as expected, test your Internet connection from a LAN computer. To do this, open your web browser, and type the URL of any external website (such as
http://www.multitek.com.tr ). The LED labeled LINK/Act DSL
should blink rapidly and then appear solid as the device connects to the site.
ADSL/VoIP Gateway User’s Guide
23
If the LEDs do not illuminate as expected, you may need to configure your Internet access settings using the information provided by your ISP. For details, see Internet Access on page
63. If the LEDs still do not illuminate as expected or the web
page is not displayed, see Troubleshooting Suggestions on page 100 or contact your ISP for assistance.
Default device settings
In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the ADSL/VoIP Gateway can provide a variety of services to your network. The device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical home or small office network.
The table below lists some of the most important default settings; these and other features are described fully in the subsequent chapters. If you are familiar with network configuration, review these settings to verify that they meet the needs of your network. Follow the instructions to change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, try using the device without modification, or contact your ISP for assistance.
WARNING
We strongly recommend that you contact your ISP prior to changing the default configuration.
Option Default Setting Explanation/Instructions
DSL Port IP Address
Unnumbered interface:
192.168.1.1
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.255
This is the temporary public IP address of the WAN port on the device. It is an unnumbered interface that is replaced as soon as your ISP assigns a ‘real’ IP address. See
Internet Access
on page 63.
LAN Port IP Address
Assigned static IP address:
192.168.1.1
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
This is the IP address of the LAN port on the device. The LAN port connects the device to your Ethernet network. Typically, you will not need to change this address. See
Addressing
on page 40.
