2 Hardware Installation

The DSL router has three separate interfaces, an Ethernet LAN,
a wireless LAN and a VDSL (WAN) interface. Place the DSL
router in a location where it can be connected to various
devices as well as to a power source. The router should not be
located in places where it is exposed to moisture or excessive
heat. Ensure that cables and the power cord are placed safely
out of the way, so they do not create a tripping hazard. As with
any electrical appliance, observe common sense safety
procedures.

2.1 Choosing the Best Location for
Wireless Operation

Many environmental factors may affect the effective wireless
function of the DSL router. If this is the first time that you set up
a wireless network device, read the following information.

The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally
you should be able to see the LED indicators in the front, as
you may need to view them for troubleshooting.

With a coverage area of up to 100 meters indoors and up to
300 meters outdoors, wireless LAN lets you access your
network from anywhere you want. However, the numbers of
walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must
pass through limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending
on types of materials and background RF noise in your home
or business. For optimum range and signal strength, use these
basic guidelines.

 Keep the numbers of walls and ceilings to the minimum:

The signal emitted from wireless LAN devices can
penetrate through ceilings and walls. However, each wall

12

or ceiling can reduce the range of wireless LAN devices by
1~30 meters. Position your wireless devices so that the
number of walls or ceilings obstructing the signal path is
minimized.

 Consider the direct line between access points and

workstations:
A wall that is 0.5 meters thick, at a 45 degree angle

appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle, it
appears over 14 meters thick. Be careful to position
access points and client adapters, so the signal can travel
straight through (90º angle) a wall or ceiling for better
reception.

 Building materials make a difference:

Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can
reduce effective range of the device. If possible, position
wireless devices so that their signals can pass through
drywall or open doorways. Avoid positioning them in the
way that their signal must pass through metallic materials.
Poured concrete walls are reinforced with steel while
cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel.

 Position the antenna for best reception:

Play around with the antenna position to check if signal
strength improves. Some adapters or access points allow
you to judge the strength of the signal.

 Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from

electrical devices:
Keep wireless devices away from electrical devices that

generate RF noise, such as microwave ovens, monitors,
electric motors, etc.

2.2 Connecting the VDSL Router

Step 1 See the following figure. Connect the DSL port of the

DSL router with a telephone cable.

Step 2 Connect the LAN port of the DSL router to the network

13

card of the PC via an Ethernet cable.

Step 3 Plug one end of the power adapter to the wall outlet

and connect the other end to the power port of the DSL
router.

The following figure displays the connection of the DSL router,
PC, and telephones.

2.3 Factory Reset Button

The router may be reset to the factory default settings by
pressing the reset button for a few seconds while the device is
powered on. Use a ballpoint or paperclip to gently push down
the reset button. Remember that this wipes out any settings
stored in the flash memory, including user account information
and LAN IP settings. The device settings are restored to the
following factory defaults: the IP address is 192.168.1.1,
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, user name is admin, and
password is admin.

3.2 Setup

Connecting your computer or home network to the DSL router
is a simple procedure, varying slightly depending on the
operating system. This chapter guides you to seamlessly
integrate DSL router with your computer or home network. The
Windows default network settings dictate that in most cases the
setup procedure described as follows is unnecessary. For
example, the default DHCP setting in Windows 2000 is client,
requiring no further modification. However, it is advised to
follow the setup procedure described as follows to verify that all
communication parameters are valid and that the physical
cable connections are correct. The setup procedure consists of
three consecutive configuration stages:

Figure 1

Hardware configuration

(1) Setting up WAN and LAN connections
(2) PC network configuration
(3) DSL router quick setup via Web-based management

3.2.1 Setting up WAN and LAN Connections

WAN Connection

Your connection to the Internet by DSL (VDSL/VDSL) DSL
Router connects its DSL socket to the wall socket by using a

16

telephone cable. If it has an Ethernet socket for the wide area
network (WAN), connect it to the external DSL Router you have,
or to the Ethernet socket you might have, by using an Ethernet
cable.

LAN Connection

Your computer can connect to the gateway in various ways
(Ethernet, wireless, etc.), each requiring a different physical
connection. The most common type of connection is Ethernet,
with most platforms featuring four such ports. Use an Ethernet
cable to connect an Ethernet port of your DSL router and the
network card of your computer. Please refer to the
accompanying Installation Guide for additional information.

3.2.2 PC Network Configuration

Each network interface on the PC should either be configured
with a statically defined IP address and DNS address, or be
instructed to automatically obtain an IP address using the
network DHCP server. DSL router provides a DHCP server on
its LAN and it is recommended to configure your LAN to
automatically obtain its IP address and DNS server IP address.

The configuration principle is identical but should be carried out
differently on each operating system.

The following displays the TCP/IP Properties dialog box as it
appears on Windows XP.

Figure 4 WBM login authentication

After logging in the DSL router as a super user, you can query,
configure, and modify all configurations, and diagnose the
system.

You need to reboot the DSL router to effect your modification or
configuration. In some cases, for example, after you modify the
PVC configuration, some modification, such as adding a static
route, takes effect at once and does not require DSL Router
reboot.

4.2 Quick Setup

Note: The Quick Setup menu is displayed only when no PVC

settings are available.

22

The Quick Setup page mainly includes the following three
functions:

 WAN interface setup
 LAN interface setup

Internet connection and other important parameters. The
following sections describe these various configuration
parameters. Whether you configure these parameters or use
the default ones, click Next to enable your Internet connection.

When subscribing to a broadband service, you should be
aware of the method, by which you are connected to the
Internet. Your physical WAN device can be Ethernet, DSL, or
both. Technical information regarding the properties of your
Internet connection should be provided by your Internet service
provider (ISP). For example, your ISP should inform you
whether you are connected to the Internet using a static or
dynamic IP address, or which protocols such as PPPoA or
PPPoE, you are to use to communicate over the Internet.

4.2.1.1 Setting up VPI/VCI and QoS

After logging in to the DSL router, if no PVC is configured
previously and no default settings exist, the Quick Setup page
appears. This page contains some basic configuration needed

23

by ATM PVC. The following introduction guides you through the
necessary steps to configure your DSL router.

According to your ISP instructions, specify the following
parameters:

 VPI (Virtual Path Identifier): virtual path between two

points in an ATM network. The valid value range is from 0
to 255.

 VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier): virtual channel between

two points in an ATM network. The valid value range is
from 32 to 65535 (1 to 31 are reserved for known
protocols).

 Enable Quality Of Service: enabling QoS for a PVC

improves performance for selected classes of applications.
However, since QoS also consumes system resources,
the number of PVCs is reduced consequently. Use Quality
of Service in Advanced Setup to assign priorities for the
applications.

Figure 5 PVC and its QoS-configuration

For example, PVC 0/35 is to be modified and the default values
of QoS remain. In actual applications, you can modify them
according to your ISP’s instructions.
